Video
- All menu screens, including the graphics and audio settings screens, are unique for all factions; however, they all have exactly the same wording, format, and settings, so the difference is merely superficial.
- Unlike its expansions, the setup utility and the in-game graphics settings for the base game, Earth 2150, has a hardware-accelerated sound section and lacks the ability to adjust the maximum zoom level, respectively.
Graphics feature | State | WSGF | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Widescreen resolution | 16:9 Fix: InsideEarth Wiki | ||
Multi-monitor | Can specify which monitor to display the game on using setup.exe |
||
Ultra-widescreen | |||
4K Ultra HD | Use dgVoodoo 2 and Direct3D HAL adapter. Mouse cursor disappears if height is above 1800px, so a custom resolution of 2400x1800 is recommended. | ||
Field of view (FOV) | Can adjust maximum camera zoom level in The Moon Project and Lost Souls | ||
Windowed | See Windowed. | ||
Borderless fullscreen windowed | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Anisotropic filtering (AF) | Can be forced in your GPU's control panel (or via dgVoodoo 2). | ||
Anti-aliasing (AA) | Can be forced in your GPU's control panel (or via dgVoodoo 2). | ||
Vertical sync (Vsync) | Can be forced in your GPU's control panel when using the OpenGL Hardware renderer (or via MixSets). | ||
60 FPS | Open console with ENTER key type "graphrate 60" | ||
120+ FPS | Frame rate is capped at 20 FPS. Increasing the cap speeds up the game 2D animations, but all other game functions works correctly. Can be increased via Autoexec.con or MixSets. |

Issues fixed
- If Earth 2150 or its expansions are set to a 16:9 resolution, the game will crash as soon as you attempt to use the Construction menu in-game.
Switch to a non-16:9 resolution[3] |

Game appears on wrong monitor
- If Earth 2150 or its expansions appears on the wrong monitor on your multi-monitor setup, you'll need to tell the game which monitor to use.
Specify which monitor to use using setup utility[3] |

Bugged mouse movement
- The mouse movement may be very inaccurate, causing position jumps during the movement. The problem worsens at high framerate.[4]
