Notes
|
Stuttering
Use DirectInput FPS Fix. |
---|
|
Use DInput8Wrapper |
---|
|
Use Windows Device Manager. |
---|
This solution is more time consuming but for some people it works when the first two fixes do not work Notes
|
Crash on startup
Update GFWL client[citation needed] |
---|
Crash to desktop after the first campaign loading screen
Head into the main menu audio options and change the Sound Render from OpenAL to DIRECTSOUND[4] |
---|
Also, Go into the save game location and edit the main.ini file, set the resolution to your monitors native resolution, set the correct aspect ratio for your native resolution. DSR(nvidia) may not work. Creating custom resolutions does work.
Change Use EAX from 1 to 0.
16:9 resolutions have a narrow FOV compared to 4:3 resolutions
Use the Kane & Lynch 16:9 FOV Fix.[5] |
