This page is a stub: it lacks content and/or basic article components. You can help to expand this page by adding an image or additional information.

Skill respec

Respec is provided by an NPC called a 'fateweaver'.

Remap key bug

Appears to be a bug from binding an action to mouse button.

Skip introduction logo videos

The Big Huge Games/38 Studios/EA intro can be skipped by deleting or renaming "reckoninglogotrain.bik" under:

\Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning\content\data\bink

Graphics tweaks

Field of vision (FOV) fix

FOV fix is available using the utility Widescreen Fixer and a plugin.

Adjust level of detail for better graphics tradeoff

Using graphics tools (ATI Tray Tools or nHancer) to force a negative level of detail and high quality x16 anisotropic filtering may be a better graphics tradeoff.

  • ATI Tray Tools anistropic filtering is better than the option provided by the game.
  • Objects look crisper when they appear in the draw distance.

FXAA injector adds detail

The FXAA injector, initially designed for Skyrim but compatible with DirectX 9 games. Adds significant amount of detail to the game. Available at:

Multimonitor support

Not well supported, check this resource:

Borderless fullscreen windowed

Natively supported. Set resolution to monitors native resolution, and check "Fullscreen: off" and this provides borderless fullscreen windowed mode, allowing seamless Alt+tab and multitasking.

Save game data

Save game cloud sync

Origin: Cloud saving can be activated by navigating to the game's information page and clicking the cloud symbol below the game cover.

Steam: Steam cloud is natively supported by the Steam version of this game, which will sync save game data.

Save game location

Steam version save game location:

\Steam\userdata\*your number here*\102500\remote\

Save game account transfer

Game profile names need to be the same when transferring saves to different accounts or computers. If they are not, then you will need to rename the save file into one that has ben 'recognised' by the game. This applies to transferring save data in any combination between computers, profiles, Steam and Origin accounts.

Demo

The demo of Kingdoms of Amalur is reportedly buggy and not indicative of the quality of the released game.

Unlocks available from playing the demo and linking to an Origin account:

  • A Twist of Fate Card and The Twinned Souls Chakram
  • The Infernal Helm - complete the Reckoning Mode Tutorial

The largest bug in the demo is black screen during game play. The UI and game sounds will render, but the rest of the game will not. This can be fixed by turning off Post Processing in the graphics options.

Digital distribution

All serial keys from digital distribution channels, except Steam, will activate the game on the Origin client.

Origin

Steam

Amazon digital (US only)

Use Amazon's preload data download in the Origin client:

  1. Open Reckoning.zip
  2. Close Origin
  3. Unzip into \Origin Games\Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning\

Retail

Serial keys

All serial keys from retail will activate the game on the Origin client.
