Issues fixed
King Kong not properly installed
Alternative
|
- Install registry fix (this removes InstallPath registry dependency).
|
"No BigFile specified as First .exe Argument" error
Use the /B /TX /lang:%s /tex:%d /spg:%d KingKongTheGame.bf command line argument or launch the game using CheckApplication.exe .[7]
|
Game breaking bugs at high framerates
- High framerates will cause some enemies to freeze, some enemy attacks will not be triggered, NPC scripting will break in certain areas, it will break the screen when the player takes damage and King Kong will not be able to lift pillars off blocked doors preventing further progress.
Instructions
|
- Set DirectX version to DirectX 9.0 and Refresh rate to 60 Hz using
SettingsApplication.exe . Checking Dualcore System is also recommended for improved performance.
|
Alternative (DirectX 8.1 mode only)
|
- Use RivaTuner Statistics Server to limit framerate to 60 FPS.
