Use Patched EXE[citation needed]

Use the FPS cap fix. Available options are 40 FPS, 50 FPS, 60 FPS, and unlimited.
Notes
- All cutscenes, both pre-rendered and rendered in-engine, will continue to run at 30fps.
- This may cause occasional crashes. You may be able to avoid some of them by using the
-variableTimesteps parameter.
- Force-gripped objects/enemies may constantly move upwards when using the 50 and 60 FPS exes; if this happens, try using the
-variableTimesteps parameter. If that doesn't work, use the 40 FPS exe.
- You may need to open compatibility settings for the patched
SWTFU.exe and set the game to run in Administrator mode for the higher FPS cap to work.

Issues fixed
Crash on startup
- If your monitor resolution does not match the game's or you are using a second monitor it will crash on load. This seems most common when your desktop is set to 1920x1080.
- There is also a problem where if your monitor is set to a refresh rate of 59 instead of 60 the game may crash.
Fix 1920x1080 crash[citation needed]
|
- Set your desktop resolution to 1650x1050 and boot the game.
- From there navigate to the options and change the game resolution.
- You can now exit out of the game and change your resolution back and the game should boot.
|
Fix 59 Hz crash[citation needed]
|
- Right click your desktop, select properties or screen resolution.
- Click advanced under the resolution tab, and change your monitor to a 60 Hz refresh rate.
|
Fix dual screen crash[citation needed]
|
- Open
SWTFU2.exe compatibility settings.
- Check the box saying "Disable Desktop Composition".
Notes
- This will disable Aero but turn it back on when you're done playing and you can keep both screens plugged in.
|
Set compatibility mode[citation needed]
|
- Open
SWTFU2.exe compatibility settings.
- Set Windows 7 compatibility mode.
|
In game videos glitching or not playing
- The FMV files use the wmv3 and wmap codecs for video and audio, which are not well-supported by some alternative codec packs like DirectShow. The game uses your computer's own installed codecs to play the videos.
Change WMV association[citation needed]
|
Change the default .wmv video player to Windows Media Player.
|
Transcode FMV files with FFMPEG
|
- Your codecs may not work well with the wmv format, in which case the game simply won't play the videos properly. However, because the game uses your system's installed codecs, you can replace the FMV files with different ones that will play better, by transcoding them yourself. Transcoding may take some time, however, depending on your computer.
- Download the latest FFMPEG release from here (select 32-bit or 64-bit depending on your system), then from inside the
bin file inside the zip file, copy ffmpeg.exe and place it into your <path-to-game>/Game/Disc/FMV/Win32 folder. IMPORTANT: Make sure the name of the file is ffmpeg.exe .
- Open a PowerShell window (you may need to open this window as Administrator) and go to your
<path-to-game>/Game/Disc/FMV/Win32 folder.
- Paste the below code into the PowerShell window, and hit Enter:
$convblock = {
$path = "conv/"
If(!(test-path $path)){
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $path
}
$files = Get-ChildItem -File
foreach ($file in $files){
If(-NOT ($file.name -like "ffmpeg.exe")){
./ffmpeg.exe -i "$($file.name)" -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 18 -c:a aac -b:a 256k "conv/$($file.name).mkv"
Move-Item -Force "conv/$($file.name).mkv" "./$($file.name)"
}
}
Remove-Item -LiteralPath "$path" -Force -Recurse
Remove-Item "ffmpeg.exe"
}
Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock $convblock
The above code will automatically convert the videos, overwrite the old ones, and clean up after itself by removing the temporary conversion folder and ffmpeg.exe for you. However, note that the conversion process could take some time, up to a few hours on a low-end machine.
The new files will use the h.264 video codec and the aac audio codec.
|
Disable in-game videos[citation needed]
|
Rename FMV folder located in <path-to-game>/Game/Disc/ (to FMV_old, for example).
