Availability
Template:Availability Table
- Steamworks game.
- THQ account is not required for this game.
Video Settings
Template:Video Settings
- No graphics options other than resolution changing, and vsync (which does not currently work).[5]
- The settings are only available after the cinematic introduction displayed when starting a new game. No real "Main menu" before starting/loading a game.
- The in-game Vsync setting doesn't work for most people.
- On some systems (tested on a Windows 7 PC with a GeForce GTX 560 Ti), forcing Vsync causes additional stuttering as the framerate randomly changes back and forth between 30 and 60 fps. Forcing Triple Buffering with D3DOverrider should fix this but it doesn't.
- No in-game setting for Anisotropic Filtering. The type and amount of filtering used when not forced is unknown.
- Not natively available.[6]
Camera Turns Whilst Strafing
- Camera appears to turn towards target while strafing. No fix is available yet.[7]
Input Settings
Template:Input Settings
- Remappable keys.[8]
- Some keyboard keys cannot be mapped to game commands, like Delete, or num_del, Insert keys. Also, Arrow keys, END, HOME, PGUP, PGDN, etc are displayed as "UNKNOWN KEY" then setting it again displays as NUMPAD keys. Does not seem too bad, but UNKNOWN KEY can only be bound once. Arrows are functional still after this binding as NUM keys, but you cannot bind any NUMPAD keys as it is seen as already bound. "I" is hardbound to PAUSE, so that is also not "remappable".
- Each time you set a key your entire page scrolls back to the very top so you need to scroll all the way back down again (using your w,s,UP,DWN keys that require constant pressing as holding does not scroll, and cannot use the mouse scrollwheel) to get back to the section you were configuring.
- Key remapping menu is not in the options menu, but in the inventory menu, accessible with the 'O' key.
System Requirements
Template:System Requirements
Issues Fixed
Stuttering
- Caused by uncapped framerate.
High System Temperatures
- Caused by uncapped framerate.
Stuck After Start Game
- Caused by slowdown in internet connection as game checks for THQ account.
3D Vision effects not rendering correctly
- Using 3D Vision in the game is subpar to what it could be, with effects and shadows not rendering at the correct depth.
Issues Unresolved
Freezing While Exiting Pause Or Inventory Screens
Karkinos Does Not React To Eggs Thrown (Thus UNBEATABLE)
The only known "solution" is to get closer before you throw the egg at the soft part. It may be difficult but seems to be the only way to circumvent the problem.
Issues With Basic Traversing (Climbing Up Ledges & Jumping From Pole to Pole)
- A common, unresolved issue.[9]
When upgrading a possessed weapon by sacrificing other items, only the first 3 rows of items can be sacrificed
Nothing happens when an item from the other rows is selected.
