Issues fixed
Crash on startup
- If your monitor resolution does not match the game's or you are using a second monitor it will crash on load. This seems most common when your desktop is set to 1920x1080.
- There is also a problem where if your monitor is set to a refresh rate of 59 instead of 60 the game may crash.
Fix 1920x1080 crash[citation needed] |

Fix 59 Hz crash[citation needed] |

Fix dual screen crash[citation needed] |

Notes

Set compatibility mode[citation needed] |

|
In game videos glitching or not playing
- The FMV files use the wmv3 and wmap codecs for video and audio, which are not well-supported by some alternative codec packs like DirectShow. The game uses your computer's own installed codecs to play the videos.
Change WMV association[citation needed] |
---|
Change the default .wmv video player to Windows Media Player. |
Transcode FMV files with FFMPEG |
---|
$convblock = { $path = "conv/" If(!(test-path $path)){ New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $path } $files = Get-ChildItem -File foreach ($file in $files){ If(-NOT ($file.name -like "ffmpeg.exe")){ ./ffmpeg.exe -i "$($file.name)" -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 18 -c:a aac -b:a 256k "conv/$($file.name).mkv" Move-Item -Force "conv/$($file.name).mkv" "./$($file.name)" } } Remove-Item -LiteralPath "$path" -Force -Recurse Remove-Item "ffmpeg.exe" } Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock $convblock The above code will automatically convert the videos, overwrite the old ones, and clean up after itself by removing the temporary conversion folder and ffmpeg.exe for you. However, note that the conversion process could take some time, up to a few hours on a low-end machine. The new files will use the h.264 video codec and the aac audio codec. |
Disable in-game videos[citation needed] |
---|
Rename FMV folder located in <path-to-game>/Game/Disc/ (to FMV_old, for example). |
