Issues unresolved
Load aborted/Error loading Level
- Savegames doesn't load from main menu when you do an "Exit to title" after playing. The first time you load the game from title works fine.[8]
Use the load game dialog from pause menu, or if you are in title menu and doesn't work, restart the game. |
---|
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.[9] The footage from "The Dark" game prototype is also corrupted.[10]
Use Condemned Missing Steam Files Fix[11] |
---|
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[12] |
---|
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] |
---|
- Since the keybindings are invisible for languages other than english, the player can also click in the invisible space underneath subtitles, located in options in order to gain access to the keybindings and control settings of the game.
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] |
