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.[7] The footage from "The Dark" game prototype is also corrupted.[8]
Use Condemned Missing Steam Files Fix[9] |
---|
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[10] |
---|
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] |

Get ammo from the firearms
You can load ammo into current weapon using similar firearms laying around. To do that, follow these steps:
- Switch current weapon (with ammo) to Melee mode
- Pick up same weapon from the ground.
- Repeat step 1 if you found one more loaded weapon
You will see it now has Ammo from both weapons, sometimes -- even more than weapon capacity allows. This probably happens because switching to Melee mode basically remoes the ammo from the weapon, so when you pick up same weapon, ammo you have from the first weapon is added to the second one as soon as you pick it up. But if you replace the weapon, the extra ammo will be lost, leaving you with regular full magazine.

Notes
- ↑ SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows 10[1] or Windows 11 and is disabled by default on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 when the KB3086255 update is installed.[2]
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 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.
