Issues unresolved
Mouse movement stutters
- Camera movement is stuttering very badly when using the mouse, while it is smooth when using a controller.
- When the game is loading additional world data in the background it stops responding to mouse movement. Currently there isn't a fix available.
Issues fixed
No sound
- Game launches, but no sound can be heard.
Install the game on the main drive[7] |
---|
Menu lag and low performance
- Frequent freezing every few seconds.
Use DirectInput FPS fix |
---|
|
Disable HID Devices[citation needed] |

Notes
|
Checking systems and iamalive_game.exe not working
- Appears to be caused by a startup validation process which can be disabled.[9]
- Can also be caused by running on an unsupported operating system.[10]

- "I Am Alive might be considered an amalgam of different games, films, and books. The platform and action situations may remind you of other Ubisoft-published games like Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction because it uses the same LEAD engine as Conviction."
