Key points
- Port of the original Xbox 360 version. All additions from Alone in the Dark: Inferno for PlayStation 3 are missing.
- Due to compatibility issues with modern graphics cards and operating systems, the game crashes when accessing the Display options menu, causing the game to run at the lowest graphical settings and resolution. See Issues fixed.

Input settings
Remapping
- Certain keys are unbindable when using the keyboard. The mouse buttons cannot be rebound, Delete cannot be bound to anything, and the default keys for vehicle/misc controls cannot be bound to on-foot controls unless they are unbound from vehicle/misc controls first. One consequence of this is that vehicle and on-foot controls must use separate buttons (i.e. if you walk with the arrow keys you cannot also drive with them) unless the default WASD keys are used.

Game crashes when accessing settings on Windows 7 or updated Windows 10
- In Windows 7 and earlier (as well as on a fully updated version of Windows 10[citation needed]), attempting to access display settings (i.e. to change the resolution) causes the game to crash on video cards with more than approximately 1 GB of VRAM.[2]
Use d3d9 wrapper fix[3] |

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/259170/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (259170) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
