- 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 you use the default WASD keys.

Issues fixed
Game crashes when accessing settings on Windows 7
- In Windows 7 and earlier, 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.[1]
Set Windows Vista compatibility mode[citation needed]
|
- Open
Alone.exe compatibility settings.
- Enable Windows Vista compatibility mode.
- This fix rarely works on Windows 10 or modern graphics cards.
|
Game won't start on Windows 10
- Most modern desktop solutions (like Nvidia GeForce Experience) aren't compatible with the game.
Set Windows Vista, Windows 98 compatibility mode and disable fullscreen optimizations
- Close recording programs like Nvidia GeForce.
|
Can't access Display settings, therefore the game runs at lowest graphical settings
- The game uses three separate files for saved data: 'prefs.aitd' saves all control/audio/graphical settings, 'res.aitd' saves resolution settings, and 'save.aitd' for game progress. See Game data
Method #1
- Download this [1]
- Replace the 'prefs.aitd' file with the one downloaded.
- This file is configured to the highest graphical settings.
|
Method #2
- Download GeDoSaTo Tool - [2] (click clone or download) extract wherever you like. The program GeDoSaToTool.exe is located inside the "pack" folder.
- Launch GeDoSaTo. Click "User Whitelist" and type in alone on a fresh line then save.
- Click "Edit Settings" button, find renderResolution line and add your screen resolution, for example it can look like this: renderResolution 3840x2160@60
- Find presentInterval line and change it to 1.
- Find overrideWidth and overrideHeight lines and change them to overrideWidth 1280 and overrideHeight 720
- Find forceBorderlessFullscreen line and change it from false to true.
- Run the game with GeDoSaTo Tool launched. If game doesn't recognize keyboard and mouse input, switch to other process with Alt+Tab and then switch back to the game.
