Save game data location
Video
Edit video.scr[citation needed]
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
video.scr with a text editor.
- Add the following line to the bottom of the file:
ExtraGameFov(x) .
- Replace 'x' with a number, which will increase the vertical FOV by that amount (20 equates to 72° vertical (102° horizontal on a 16:9 monitor) FOV).
|
Disable sun shadows
- Significant performance improvement.
- Reduction in visual quality.
Create a new varlist_performance.scr in Data3.pak (latest patch)[5]
|
- Extract the original varlist_performance.scr from Data0.pak
- Go
<path-to-game>\DW\ .
- Extract or open Data0.pak and navigate to
data/scripts/varlist_performance.scr (Using an archive manager such as 7-Zip or Ubuntu's "Archive Manager".)
- Edit varlist_performance.scr and move it to Data3.pak
- Open
varlist_performance.scr with a text editor.
- Search for
VarInt and change the following to ("i_shadows_sun_on", 0) .
- Copy the modified
varlist_performance.scr to Data3.pak/data/scripts (ie. maintaining the subfolder structure).
- Remove any extracted Data0.pak files (Do not remove the Data0.pak file itself).
|
Edit varlist_performance.scr (release version)[citation needed]
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Find and open
varlist_performance.scr with a text editor.
- Search for
VarInt and change the following to ("i_shadows_sun_on", 0) .
- Launch the game.
|
Input
Xbox controller settings.
- Some keys (e.g. "change arrow/bolt type") cannot be remapped in-game.
Remap keys which cannot be remapped in-game[citation needed]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>\DW\ and open Data0.pak with 7-Zip.
- Extract the file
inputs_keyboard.scr in folder data\scripts\inputs\ .
- Open the extracted file with a text editor (e.g. Sublime Text, Notepad++) and look for the action you want to change and edit the associated key (looks like "EKey__A").
- Save the file.
- Open
Data3.pak with 7-Zip.
- Create the following subfolders:
data\scripts\inputs\ , i.e. the folder structure in this file must be the same as in the original file.
- Add the modified
inputs_keyboard.scr into the inputs folder you just created in Data3.pak .
- Close 7-Zip.
- Start game.
Notes
- For example, the key for changing the arrow/bolt type is bound to R and cannot be changed in-game. If you want to change this, you have to edit the following two lines in
inputs_keyboard.scr :
AddAction(_ACTION_QUICK_ARROWS, EInputTarget_HUD, EInputDevice_Keyboard, false, EKey__R, false, true);
AddAction(_ACTION_QUICK_BOLTS, EInputTarget_HUD, EInputDevice_Keyboard, false, EKey__R, false, true);
|
Vertical mouse sensitivity
- The vertical mouse sensitivity may be too high on the Linux version.
Set sensitivity only for the vertical axis
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>\DW\ and open Data0.pak with an archive manager.
- Extract the file
default_levels.xml in folder data\skills\ .
- Open the extracted file with a text editor and search for
LookVertSpeed_Mouse .
- Change
<prop n="LookVertSpeed_Mouse" v="0.25"/> to a lower value: <prop n="LookVertSpeed_Mouse" v="0.15"/> .
- Add the modified
default_levels.xml back to the Data0.pak archive and save it.

Issues fixed
Game won't launch on open source AMD drivers on Linux
Override the OpenGL Mesa verison at launch[10]
|
- In Set Launch Options... on Steam add this code at the beginning
MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=450 %command%
|
Use the specific OpenGL library for Mesa.[11]
|
Download and unpack the library file into the main game folder and launch the game. In case it won't work, use it with the mentioned launch option from the guide above.
|
In-game graphics won't show up on AMD drivers on Gentoo/Fedora/OpenSUSE etc.
- This issue is not present on Ubuntu or any Ubuntu/Debian based distribution
Create a symlink of bin directory[12]
|
Open up the Terminal and type:
sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/lspci /usr/bin/lspci
NOTE: If you are using ArchLinux or an ArchLinux based distribution, you must use Linux Steam Integration, it can be found in AUR for faster and easier installation.
