Issues fixed
Crash at launch
Install Nvidia PhysX Legacy System Software v9.13.0604[citation needed] |
---|
- May requires the Ageia PhysX PPU1 or PPU2 with Ageia driver 7.11.13 instead.[citation needed]
Visual glitches when looking through scopes
- When looking through scopes with patch 1.35 installed, many objects may appear black.
Use a custom version of dxwrapper |

|
Falling through terrain
- In the Steam version, the player can fall through the terrain. This becomes an issue in mission 5 (Mayday! Mayday!) if going too far north, and in mission 6 (Ready for bear) which happens before exiting the APC.
Rename patch.bundle[citation needed] |

Cross-com does not work (middle mouse button)
- In the Steam version, the middle mouse button does not seem to function as it should, i.e. ordering soldiers to execute a command. The following fix will allow the opening of the command menu, but only to issue move orders, not other commands.
Editing ctrl_set_def.xml[citation needed] |

Temporary freeze at startup
- The retail version of GRAW is still looking for the GameSpy servers on startup, but does not get a response since its 2014 shutdown. This lookup causes a temporary freeze, about 20 seconds long. This can be prevented by editing the Windows hosts file, but may conflict with GameSpy alternatives for other games.

Other information
HD textures upscaled
- [1] 8K-Remastered Textures. Attention, the instructions may be faulty in some cases. Inside the directory Local, if you do not have a folder named English, create one. Them put the texture files inside the Folder TEXTURES. Afterwards, the game might revert to the setting of low for textures. Change the setting to high. Don't forget to patch the executable to address more than 2gb memory if on 64 bit Windows. you can use nt 4gb, here https://ntcore.com/?page_id=3
