Template:Infobox General Information

Official Sleepings Dogs Forum - PC General Discussion - this forum is the most active for PC technical issues.
Official Sleepings Dogs Forum - PC Bugs/Glitches.
Steam Forum.

Availability

Template:Availability Table

All versions require Steam, including retail; digital versions do not contain serial keys, instead registering directly onto the Steam ID.[1]

Improvements

Sleeping Dogs Mods - website from the creating of Just Cause 2 Mods website.

Video Settings

Template:Video Settings

High Resolution Texture Pack

A PC-specific high resolution texture pack is available for free which requires an additional 4GB space.[2]

Graphics Change

All graphics changing requires a restart, otherwise visual elements will be missing from the game.[3]

Multiple Graphics Cards

Appears that SLI and Crossfire are not enabled.[4]

Nvidia Card Performance

The game is optimized for AMD cards, and thus Nvidia cards can post low FPS for the auto detected settings. Setting "Enable Quality Anti-Aliasing" and "Screen Space Ambient Occlusion" to Normal should noticeably improve FPS.

Input Settings

Template:Input Settings

Key Remapping

Can't Remap To Arrow Keys

Can be remapped to number pad arrow keys, but not standard arrow keys.[5]

But you can remap your Up, Down, Left and Right arrow keys to work like W,S,A,D and vice versa using the application Autohotkey at http://www.autohotkey.com. After installation, when prompted to create the first script, choose Yes in the dialog box. Then, delete everything from the Notepad file which opens and paste the following: http://pastebin.com/8d5dKTRV. After that, right click on the Autohotkey icon in the notification tray and choose Reload script and you will be able to use the arrow keys to move the player and cars. As a last step, add the Autohotkey application to startup and you are done!

Issues Fixed

Constantly Scrolling Up

Caused by controller drivers.
Instructions

FPS Issues and/or Stuttering

The game may lag or stutter on high-end systems, particularly during day time.[6]
Instructions

Black Screen During Cutscene

Instructions

Disable 'Cheat' DLC

For those who bought all the DLC but didn't realize that some of it gave unbalanced bonuses to the player.
Instructions

Issues Unresolved

'HkShip.exe has stopped working'

Unresolved issue.[7]

EVGA GTX 570 fix. Underclock your GPU to 747MHz using the EVGA precision tool. Game no longer crashes

'Can't choose custom refreshing rate'

When selecting resolution in video options, only pre-made presets are available, user can't choose to change refreshing rate, which often force players to play in windowed mode.

'Can't force game into fullscreen'

The game starts in windowed mode and no matter what you do it just stays in windowed mode. Alt+Enter doesn't work and neither does setting the video option to fullscreen.

System requirements

Template:System Requirements

Windows XP cannot run this game.
