Version differences
- The German Edition (aka LV Release) only includes the German language and has content differences (e.g. no swastikas).
- The Panzerhund Edition does not include the game or any in-game extras.[1]
Essential improvements
Restore cache files
- The texture cache folder is not made by the game so the cache is regenerated for each session.
- This can fix stuttering in the game.

Notes
|
"Wolfenstein is not responding" crash
- The game may crash soon after starting when using outdated graphics card drivers.
Install recommended graphics card drivers[6][7] |
---|
|
Low frame rate
Change binary name and create text file[8] |
---|
Solution presumably for AMD GPUs
Do not delete the WolfNewOrder_x32 file or else it won't work. Make sure that the two laucnh files are in the game folder, WolfNewOrder_x64.exe and WolfNewOrder_x32.exe. Steamless binary achieves few FPS more. Keep Steam in offline mode. No Internet connection. |
Set specific level of certain details[9] |
---|
|
Force the game to use copied AMD OpenGL driver (atioglxx.dll)[13] |
---|
Search for atioglxx.dll inside Windows folder, or use this one. Then copy the file inside the game folder.
|
Endless loading screen
Verify the cache integrity on Steam[citation needed] |
---|
|
Game crashes to desktop on random intervals on AMD graphics cards
- There is an issue where Catalyst AI causes the crashes. In older drivers this could be turned off in the software, but now it must be done manually.
Disable Catalyst AI[14] |
---|
