Settings

How to adjust the settings of the game such as graphics, sound, resolution, key mapping, ect.:

The game has a settings-application called "Beyond Good and Evil Settings". In the steam version, it is an exe file you can double click, located in in 

Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\beyond good and evil\SettingsApplication.exe

Texture Flickering Issues

Launch Settings and click "Advance Settings".

First Method

Disable the following:

  • HW Vertex Processing
  • Multi vertex stream
  • Autogen mipmap

For most people simply disabling HW Vertex Processing works flawlessly, HOWEVER this usually slows down the game badly, including on high-end machines, which is why some prefer the second method.

Second Method

Another popular fix is to simply disable antialiasing in the "Advance Settings" menu and checking the manual compatibility box.

If this doesn't work completely (On some machines some flickering still remains) and you have an Nvdia graphics card then you can go to your control pannel (Which may be accessed from the bottom right corner of your pc) go to the "manage 3D settings" menu, then to the "program settings" menu, add bge.exe (Which should be located in the folder where you installed the game) and finally select "override any application setting" in the anti aliasing mode.

Better FPS

Launch Settings

  • Lower or Disable Antialiasing.

Audio Video Sync

If you are having problems with the sound not syncing up with the picture, go launch Settings, go to "Sound Settings" and choose your Sound Card.

More information on this: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/561436-beyond-good-and-evil/46820765

Game controller

The game only works with mouse and keyboard, so you will have to use something like XPadder or Pinnacle Game Profiler if you want to use a controller.

XPadder

Here is a suggested configuration for the xbox 360 controller. (I am not sure if it corresponds to the real XBox and XBox 360 configuration, perhaps someone could confirm this or add instructions on how this is?).
