Windows

Issues And Fixes

Negative mouse acceleration

The game seems to suffer from negative mouse acceleration (the camera moves slower on faster mouse movements).


31FPS cap

Open the file:

Documents\My Games\Alice Madness Returns\AliceGame\Config\AliceEngine.ini

Press Ctrl+F to search for "MaxSmoothedFrameRate" under "[Engine.Engine]"

Change the following entries: MaxSmoothedFrameRate=60

Optionally, you can change this entry: bSmoothFrameRate=False


Umbrella Item Bug

During the tutorial, with the fight with a Menacing Ruin, the player is asked to use an Umbrella item.

However, regardless of focus or key-bindings, the action cannot be executed.

Solution transcribed from user xWiNGSx:[1]

1) Find the folder:

C:\Program Files\Origin Games\Alice Madness Returns - The Complete Collection\Game\Alice2\AliaceGame\Config\Default Input\

2) Find the line:

+Bindings=(Name="E",Command="TriggerBlock true | OnRelease TriggerBlock false")

3) Change the E to whichever letter you want to be block.

4) Save your changes and close out of the config file.

5) Start the game; go to the configure controls option in game; reset controls to default.

6) Since default for block is now the key you assigned in the config the default controls will reflect this; you can now change the remaining controls to your preference.

Unskippable Intros

You may disable the intros by going to the \AliceGame\Movies on the install folder and rename the following files to anything else:

Intro_EA.bik Intro_Nvidia.bik TechLogo_Short.bik Intro_SH.bik

Extreme Stuttering even in the UI

If you have the DirectX SDK installed (usually only developers), ensure that the 32-bit DirectX Control Panel (i.e. the DirectX Control Panel without "64-bit" in the title) is set to the Retail Version of DirectX 9. Find the DirectX Control Panel in the Start Menu, under Programs. On Vista or Windows 7, just type "DirectX" into the search.
