- Even though there are registry entries to change Anti-Aliasing, they do not do anything.
- This game has no native windowed support.
- An unofficial patch has been made to run the game in windowed mode.
Install windowed patch[2]
|
- Go to the installation folder.
- Back up
projectfreedom.exe .
- Download and unzip this file to the installation folder. Make sure the three files in the archive are placed in the same folder as
projectfreedom.exe .
- For the retail version of the game, rename
projectfreedom.exe to projectfreedom.dat .
- For the Steam version of the game, simply start the game.
- Run
patch.cmd . It might require administrator privileges on Windows Vista and later. If the Steam version is used, it will be terminated to facilitate the patching process.
patch.cmd , bspatch.exe , and pf_window_patch.patch can be deleted now. If the retail version was used and a rename was performed, the patching process may leave behind projectfreedom.dat , which can also be deleted.
Notes
- This patch only works for the English version of the game.
- To restore full-screen mode, the backed up
projectfreedom.exe will have to be used again.

Issues unresolved
Sound replay on hitch
- If the game hitches, the audio engine will periodically replay a small portion of sound for about a second. The problem disappears after a level change or reloading a savegame.
Issues fixed
Game crashes due to missing codecs
- The game may crash on Windows Vista and later because it can't decode the movies properly due to missing codecs. This issue manifests itself as sudden exiting after seeing the menu loading screen.
- This can be fixed by either using a dummy
mpeg.dll
or removing the video files.
