Essential improvements
Patches
- Official patch 1.02 download.
- Main menus shows version number 1.0.32504 regardless of game version and updates. Easiest way to determine if the game is updated is to try out if the fixed bugs are still present, most notably unable to use Alt+f4 (fixed in patch 1.01) and if pressing Up+Left/Right with keyboard/d-pad results character to stop all movement instead of moving into Left/Right (fixed in patch 1.02).
- Some digital versions are still at version 1.00[2] and official patch can only be applied with retail version of the game. If you own this kind of version of the game, PCGamingWiki download includes prepatched game executable for these versions of the game.
- Some versions of the game include autoupdater in
<path-to-game>\gu.exe
, while with others the executable is replaced with copy of main game executable. - For users of the Steam version of the game, you can easily check which version is installed. Go to the Steam installation folder, then
\steamapps\common\ValveTestApp207490\Readme\(Language)
. The readme.txt file will say at the top what version has been installed.

Video settings
Input settings
Controller support
- With first launch, game automatically assigns initial button bindings. If no controllers are connected, first player is bound to keyboard. If XInput controllers are connected, they are automatically bound to player numbers starting from first. After this, controls have to be bound manually to each player.
- DirectInput controllers do not have automatic bindings at all and always need to be bound manually. If some controller has non-centered axis (DualShock 4, steering wheel, joystick, throttle, etc.), game will pick it up constantly making rebinding near impossible for all players. To bypass these issues, use XInput wrapper and unplug unused controllers.
- It's possible to trigger autobinding again in future simply pressing
Defaults: RESET
from settings. However this overwrites all the manual bindings done.

Issues unresolved
Save Game Files Erased Or Corrupted
- Multiple reports indicate that save games can be corrupted.[5]
- Usually game creates file called
SavegameCSavegame_X
at the parent folder of save game data path. Manually copying file into save game data location and renaming toSavegame_X
(replacingX
with save slot number 0, 1 or 2) should save the save game data and allow progressing in the game.
Zoomed In Glitch
- Multiple reports indicate a problem with the Ticklish Temples level Tricky Treasure, where the character appears zoomed in, that the environment cannot be seen properly.[6] The bug exists also in "Playing in the Shade" level during using non-panoramic monitor. To get rid of it, just set panoramic resolution (1280x720 or 1600x900) and continue. Zoom glitch will disappear.
Issues fixed
Frame rate issues
- Multiple users report that there is stuttering or frame rate problems on systems which greatly exceed the minimum specifications.[7]
- Any mouse movement will instantly freeze the game until the cursor stops moving.
Use a controller instead of keyboard[citation needed] |

Diagonal movement
- Reportedly there are problems with using diagonal controls, including keyboard diagonal movement and D-pad controls.[8]
- The best way to resolve this would be to use the analogue stick on a controller for movement.
- Should be fixed with patch 1.02.
Pixelated Or Low Resolution Cutscene Video
- PC version's video files are much more compressed compared to console counterparts.[9]
Replace the video files[citation needed] |

Run the game at screen refresh rate
- Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
