Issues fixed
Low frame rate
- Frame rate may drop to around 20-30 FPS after a few minutes of play. This is especially common with systems utilizing Logitech devices.
Use Condemned Widescreen Fix[citation needed] |
---|
Use DirectInput FPS Fix[citation needed] |
---|
Missing sound effects in Steam version
- In particular, the train sounds at the end of chapter four are missing.[2] The footage from "The Dark" game prototype is also corrupted.[3]
Use the Missing sounds fix[citation needed] |
---|
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[4] |
---|
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.
