Issues unresolved
Smart camera option does not work
The smart (automatic) camera stays on, even if you disable it in the game options or through the game's configuration files.[4]
Thermometer bar in wrong location
When using widescreen resolutions, occasionally the 'thermometer' bar for pyrokinesis will be displayed at the outer-edge of the screen rather than near the targeted object/creature. There are no known fixes to this bug.
Linux version differences
Mouse movement in this game feels entirely different from Windows (no zigzags, smoother; Likely no mouse acceleration).
Fullscreen issues
Fullscreen settings may require the player to disable and enable fullscreen in-game each time the game runs.[citation needed]
Issues fixed
Object flickering on AMD hardware
- All AMD drivers after moving from Catalyst to Crimson (16.1) cause objects to flicker constantly, rendering the game almost unplayable.
Modify Game's Crimson Profile[citation needed] |

|
Crashing
Use compatibility mode[citation needed] |
---|
|
Corrupted save game profile
If presented with the following error message, you may have a corrupted/damaged game profile:
Error (null), line -1
Crash: 0xc0000005
If you have VS.NET installed, you can try to attach the debugger
Otherwise, click OK
To fix the error message and allow the game to load:
Delete save game profile[citation needed] |
---|
|
To possibly recover the save game:
Copy save game files to a new profile[citation needed] |
---|
|
Graphics error preventing startup
Error: "The game was unable to find a 32bpp display mode supported by your system in which to run. Your video card and monitor must minimally support 640x480x32bpp."
