Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is a game ported from iOS. Reports indicate controls feeling imprecise, likely to be the result of the porting process from iPad.[1][2]
Availability
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP has been released on Windows, Mac and iOS. Some would consider the iPad version of the game to be definitive.
Windows
The config and log file are located:
Windows 7: C:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\[user_id]\204060\local
Issues And Fixes
Crash On Startup
Open the config.txt
file. Enable this change:
"ENABLE_MIPMAPPING = false"
This has reportedly worked for some users, but not for everyone.[3]
Change Resolution
Open the config.txt
file. Change resolution by editing these lines:
SCREEN_WIDTH SCREEN_HEIGHT
Changing to a high resolution such as 2560x1600 or 2560x1440 is not supported, and forcing this will kick the resolution back to 800x600.[4]
Fullscreen Or Windowed Mode
Open the config.txt
file. Change to windowed by editing this line:
FULLSCREEN
Vertical Sync (Vsync)
Open the config.txt
file. Enable Vsync be editing this line:
ENABLE_VSYNC
Unresolved Issues
Alt Tab Causes Twitter Login Fail
Alt tabbing appears to cause loaded tweets to fail.[5]
Non-US Keyboard
Appears to be treating all international keyboards as US keyboards.[6]
Black Backgrounds & Other Missing Graphics/Videos
May or may not be related to ATI Cards but the game does not display background graphics or intro video.[7] The log lists various information, for example:
Couldn't find scenes/common/messagebox/positions.pnt
- Verifying steam download results in it attempting to fix but does nothing.
- Completely reinstalling after deleting local content does not fix.
- Latest video drivers does not fix.
Some users have had success fixing this by disabling the Catalyst A.I. in the AMD Control Center.[8]
Mac
The config and log file are located:
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/[user_id]/204060/local
Keyboard Controls
Instead of using the mousewheel to zoom in and out, you can use the + and = keys on your keyboard. Instead of clicking on the shield and sword icons to use them, you can use the Z and X, or . and /, keys on your keyboard. You can pan the camera around using the arrow keys.
Soundtrack
The Steam version comes with the games soundtrack in MP3 format (FLAC and others available here). This can be access by going to:
Windows 32-bit:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\superbrothers sword & sworcery ep\soundtrack
Windows 64-bit:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\superbrothers sword & sworcery ep\soundtrack
