Issues fixed

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to 100 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
Set screen refresh rate[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open graphicconfig.txt.
  3. Change REFRESHRATE to your desired refresh rate. (e.g. 120 or 144)

Game will not start

On modern systems, the game may fail to start - exiting with no error message.
Unsupported patch[citation needed]
  1. Focus Entertainment published a patch which is no longer available directly, however, it is available from moddb which you can download here or search for "Protection Patch" under the game's title.
  2. NOTE: Make a backup of any files you replace! (On Steam, you'll need to rename the file in the patch from Faery.exe to FaerySteam.exe).
Limit cores for the game[citation needed]
  1. In addition to the above patch, if you have more than 4 cores you'll need to start the game limiting how many cores it uses.
  2. One method to do this is with a shortcut invoking "START" with /AFFINITY 15 FaerySteam.exe as parameters. (For more information read this article).
