Key points
- Very few video customization settings.
- Uses Xbox controller prompts for keyboard and mouse.
- Aim Acceleration cannot be disabled when using a controller.
- In-game mouse movement depends on the framerate and is very jerky even at 60 FPS. It gets smooth when the game runs at around 100 FPS or higher.[1]
- Game lacks an FPS limiter or toggle Vsync and may be physics issues at high fps. See Frame rate capping for manually capping the framerate.

Frame rate (FPS)
- The game physics breaks at a framerate higher than 144 (e.g. the throw mechanic doesn't work properly).
- Cap the game at 144 FPS or lower to fix it (Special K is recommended for optimal results).
Notes
- Don't Alt+Tab ↹ after starting the game otherwise it will start to stutter constantly after going back in-game.
Input
- Input device is selected by pressing either ↵ Enter or Start button at the start screen, which disables the other device from that point on.

Bind all secondary weapons to one key
- Since you can't have multiple secondary weapons at the same time (in the single player mode), only one key is needed.
Edit controls.xml[citation needed] |
---|
<button name="equip_hiker" input="3"/> <button name="equip_sniper" input="4"/> <button name="equip_tarantula" input="5"/> <button name="equip_bulldog" input="6"/> <button name="equip_mgsj" input="7"/> 4. And for example change them to: <button name="equip_hiker" input="3"/> <button name="equip_sniper" input="3"/> <button name="equip_tarantula" input="3"/> <button name="equip_bulldog" input="3"/> <button name="equip_mgsj" input="3"/> |
Skip cutscenes by pressing "Space" two times
- The game allow to skip cutscenes by pressing "Enter" after you press "Space".
- For an easier configuration you can modify this behavior by let the game skip the cutscenes after a second press of the "Space" button.
Edit controls.xml[citation needed] |
---|
<button name="toggle_weapon" input="r"/> <button name="skip_cutscene" input="confirm"/> 4. And change it to: <button name="skip_cutscene" input="space"/> |
- The game allow to select the specific voices of the "Info Screen" (Objectives, Challenges etc.) by pressing the "Enter" button.
- For an easier navigation you can modify this behavior by let the game enter those voices with the press of the "Space" button.
Edit controls.xml[citation needed] |
---|
<button name="equip_grenade" input="2"/> <button name="confirm" input="confirm"/> 4. And change it to: <button name="confirm" input="space"/> |
Mouse Sensitivity
- The Y axis is roughly 40% slower then X axis.
- It's possible to have a workaround with mice that support separate DPI sensitivity per axis or more simply by editing the
controls.xml
Edit controls.xml[citation needed] |
---|
<axis name="look" controller="mouse" input="mouse" multiplier="0.05 0.05 0" lerp="1" no_limit="true" 4. And change it to: <axis name="look" controller="mouse" input="mouse" multiplier="0.05 0.07 0" lerp="1" no_limit="true" |

EAX support | Use OpenAL Soft 1.20.1 or higher for binaural HRTF mixing.[5] |
- OpenAL Soft 1.19.0 and 1.19.1 cause distorted audio in GRIN engine games. OpenAL Soft 1.20.1 fixes the audio.
