- The Steam version's
CondemnedA.Arch00
is noticeably smaller when compared to the retail game. Because of this, and reversed audio files within the .Arch00
file, many sounds are simply missing from the Steam version. In particular, the train sounds at the end of Chapter 3 are missing.[1] The footage from "The Dark" game prototype is also corrupted.[2]
Use replacement files or xdelta patch[citation needed]

Issues unresolved
Invisible text
- Some users are reporting that Windows 10 causes text to be invisible.[3]
Issues fixed
Slow loading level and aero disabling
- Occurs only on Windows Vista and Windows 7, because of the special graphic stack WDDM.
{{Fixbox|description=Fix slow load level and spontaneous shutdown aero interface|fix=
- Install game only on Windows XP, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. [4]
Notes
- Using Windows 8.1 or 10 significantly reduces the launch time of the level, perhaps this is due to improvements in the WDDM graphics stack. [5]
