High frame rate
- FPS over 120 may significantly affect physics; doors may open slower, trampolines are less effective, and Raz may not grab onto poles or dismount ladders without issue.[5][6] Capping framerate can help issues.

Issues unresolved
Smart camera option does not work
The smart (automatic) camera stays on, even if you disable it in the game options or through the game's configuration files.[7]
Thermometer bar in wrong location
When using widescreen resolutions, occasionally the 'thermometer' bar for Pyrokinesis will be displayed at the outer-edge of the screen rather than near the targeted object/creature. There are no known fixes to this bug.
Linux version differences
Mouse movement in this game feels entirely different from Windows (no zigzags, smoother; Likely no mouse acceleration).
Fullscreen issues
Fullscreen settings may require the player to disable and enable fullscreen in-game each time the game runs.[citation needed]
Issues fixed
Game uses incorrect refresh rate
- The game may default to the lowest supported refresh rate of the monitor.
Override refresh rate with dgVoodoo |
---|
|
Override refresh rate with D3Dx |
---|
|
Object flickering on AMD hardware
- All AMD drivers after moving from Catalyst to Crimson (16.1) cause objects to flicker constantly, rendering the game almost unplayable.
Modify Game's Crimson Profile[citation needed] |
---|
|
Crashing
Use compatibility mode[8] |
---|
|
Exit Rivatuner Statistics Server[citation needed] |
---|
|
Disable various in-game overlays[9] |
---|
|
Crash with 0xc0000005 error message
- May be caused by a corrupted/damaged game profile.
Delete save game profile[citation needed] |
---|
|
Copy save game files to a new profile[citation needed] |
---|
|
Graphics error preventing startup
Error: "The game was unable to find a 32bpp display mode supported by your system in which to run. Your video card and monitor must minimally support 640x480x32bpp."
Create displaysettings.ini [citation needed]

---|

Windows 8.1/10 black screen on startup / Freezes loading screen
