Issues fixed
Low frame rate
- Frame rate may drop to around 20-30 FPS after a few minutes of play.
Use DirectInput FPS Fix |
---|
|
Missing sound effects in Steam version
- In particular, the train sounds at the end of chapter four are missing.[3] The footage from "The Dark" game prototype is also corrupted.[4]
Use Condemned Missing Steam Files Fix[5] |
---|
Keyboard settings reset to unassigned
- Some settings can't be saved unless the game is launched as administrator.
Use Condemned Widescreen Fix[citation needed] |
---|
|
Soft shadows don't work with in-game FSAA
- This is due to the features of the engine and the artificial limitation of the simultaneous use of anti-aliasing with soft shadows, since they can cause graphic artifacts on the shadows.
Disable in-game FSAA[citation needed] |
---|
|
Change game's language to English[6] |
---|
Use compability mode with older version of Windows[citation needed] |
---|
If you use DPI scaling in Windows settings, change this option and use custom DPI setting[citation needed] |
---|
Slow loading level and aero disabling
- Occurs only on Windows Vista and Windows 7 because of the special graphic stack WDDM.
Install game only on Windows XP, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10[citation needed] |

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>/4720/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (4720) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
