Template:Infobox Darksiders (series) Key Points
- THQ promised to implement a configuration file to customise the experience, but this has not yet been implemented.[1][2]
- The game has been ported poorly with numerous configuration and launching issues.[3][4]
General Information
- THQ Darksider II Forum - General Discussion - not PC-specific.
- THQ Darksider II Forum - Technical Help & Bug Reporting - not PC-specific.
- Steam Forum - Darksiders - general forum for Darksiders series.
- Steam Community Discussion
Availability
- Darksiders II is a Steamworks game.
- A THQ account is not required for this game.
Video Settings
- The settings are only available after the cinematic introduction displayed when starting a new game. No real "Main menu" before starting/loading a game.
Vertical Sync (Vsync)
- Vsync setting did nothing at launch, but was fixed with the first patch.
- Fixes screen tearing and caps framerate to the monitor's refresh rate. Can help with stuttering[5].
Borderless Fullscreen Windowed
- On some systems (tested on a Windows 7 PC with a GeForce GTX 560 Ti), forcing Vsync causes additional stuttering as the framerate randomly changes back and forth between 30 and 60 fps. Forcing Triple Buffering with D3DOverrider should fix this but it doesn't.

Anisotropic Filtering (AF)
- No in-game setting for Anisotropic Filtering. The type and amount of filtering used when not forced is unknown.

Anti-Aliasing (AA)
- Natively available.[6]

Camera Turns While Strafing
- Camera appears to turn towards target while strafing. No fix is available yet.[7]
Input Settings
Key Remapping
- Remappable keys.[8]
- Key remapping menu is now added the options menu, as well as the previous location in the inventory menu, accessible with the 'O' key.
- Some keyboard keys cannot be mapped to game commands, like Delete, or num_del, Insert keys. Also, Arrow keys, END, HOME, PGUP, PGDN, etc are displayed as "UNKNOWN KEY" then setting it again displays as NUMPAD keys. Does not seem too bad, but UNKNOWN KEY can only be bound once. Arrows are functional still after this binding as NUM keys, but you cannot bind any NUMPAD keys as it is seen as already bound. "I" is hardbound to PAUSE, so that is also not "remappable".
- Each time you set a key your entire page scrolls back to the very top so you need to scroll all the way back down again (using your w,s,UP,DWN keys that require constant pressing as holding does not scroll, and cannot use the mouse scrollwheel) to get back to the section you were configuring.
Disabling intro logos
To make the game reach the menu faster rename the following files to something else. All of them can be found under
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Darksiders 2\media\videos\
- 2011_THQ_Logo_FadeOut_720p.bik
- Vigil_Logo1280x720.bik

3D Vision effects not rendering correctly
- Using 3D Vision in the game is subpar to what it could be, with effects and shadows not rendering at the correct depth.
Instructions |

Using a 360 controller, only items from the first 3 rows can be sacrificed to upgrade a possessed weapon
This was initially a problem at launch, but was fixed in the second patch. Now items beyond the third row can be easily selected for sacrificing.
Issues Unresolved
Freezing While Exiting Pause Or Inventory Screens
Using the phasewalker at the first portal after Lilith gives it to you to reach Samael
Karkinos Does Not React To Eggs Thrown (Thus UNBEATABLE)
The only known "solution" is to get closer before you throw the egg at the soft part. It may be difficult but seems to be the only way to circumvent the problem. die twice is another way
When i get the Redemption, i can't use it, cause it didn't load itself. ( You can hear the 'klak' voice but nothing happened!)
- A common, unresolved issue.[9]
