(Removed mention of missing console features as that does not belong in a PCGW game article; also, removed all mention of GangstaPatch due to untrustworthy behavior of developer and bizarrely-high VirusTotal detection rate.) |

Issues fixed
Corrupted graphics on modern systems
Use SilentPatch[7] |
---|
Or use this: https://www.moddb.com/addons/scarface-the-world-is-yours-modern-windows-fix.
Low frame rate
Use SilentPatch[7] |
---|
Very slow in-game mouse-movement
- Negative mouse acceleration is forced in-game and can't be disabled. It gets significantly worse the higher your mouse polling rate is high or DPI is low. It can cause very slow mouse-movement in-game, making it hard to accurately aim with your weapon.[12]
Use SilentPatch and set camera speed multiplier[13] |
---|
|
Use Scarface Fusion Fix[14] |
---|
|
Workaround: Lower the mouse's polling rate through hardware or software options to a lower value like 125hz[15] |
---|
|
Workaround: Set mouse DPI very high to a value like 12000 through hardware or software options[16] |
---|
|
Run the game at screen refresh rate
- The game defaults to a 60 Hz refresh rate. Enforcing a 60 FPS cap is still recommended.
Override refresh rate set by game[17] |

- ↑ 13.0 13.1 Verified by User:Mrtnptrs on 2023-01-20
- Tested with my mouse at 1000 Hz polling rate 1600 DPI.
CameraSpeedMultiplier=10
delivered the best results for me; good mouse movement, while being less uncomfortably fast than Fusion Fix.
- Tested with my mouse at 1000 Hz polling rate 1600 DPI.
- ↑ 14.0 14.1 Verified by User:Mrtnptrs on 2023-01-20
- Makes movement of the mouse much easier, maybe too easy as with my mouse at 1000 Hz polling rate 1600 DPI it goes a bit too quickly for my feeling with no way to adjust it.
- ↑ Verified by User:Mrtnptrs on 2022-09-17
- Setting mouse polling rate to 125 through Logitech G Hub fixed my in-game mouse acceleration issues.
- ↑ Verified by User:Mrtnptrs on 2022-09-18
- Had same effect as reducing the polling rate. Set through Logitech G Hub
