Other information

Change rendering device

To change the default resolution/rendering device, retail installations will have a Start Menu shortcut for Configuration.
This shortcut is missing from the GOG.com release.
Creating a Configuration shortcut
  1. Create a new shortcut to the game executable (<path-to-game>\DethKarz.exe).
  2. Edit the shortcut and add the /c switch to the end of the Target field then apply/save.
Using the newly created shortcut will open the Configuration screen, allowing to change the selected rendering device.
A Performance Benchmark shortcut can be created by using the /p switch instead of /c when editing the shortcut.

Notes

  1. ↑ Applications writing to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE will be redirected to other locations based on various criterias, see the glossary page for more details.
  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>/1257910/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1257910) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  3. ↑ When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
