Save file transfer

Fix save files after updating to 1.9 (Remix update)
  1. Make sure the game is fully updated
  2. Disable Cloud Save through game properties if using Steam
  3. Delete the contents of %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Videocult\Rain World\ folder

Only do this if you have an save file at <path-to-game>\UserData\, otherwise this will just delete your save

Custom fullscreen resolution

Use Sharpener mod
  1. Install the Sharpener mod.
  2. Go to Options -> Mod Config -> Sharpener.
  3. Under Fullscreen change Fullscreen Resolution to the desired resolution.
  4. Under Scaling set Render Mode to Sharper.

  2. Go to Options -> Mod Config -> Sharpener.
  3. Under Window tick Enable Override and change Override Window Height and Override Window Width to the desired resolution.
  4. Under Scaling set Render Mode to Sharper.

Native resolution

By default the game's render resolution is tied to its internal resolution which has a hardcoded 768 pixel height.
Use Sharpener mod
  1. Install the Sharpener mod.
  2. Go to Options -> Mod Config -> Sharpener.
  3. Under Scaling set Render Mode to Native resolution.
  4. Change the render resolution, see Custom fullscreen resolution or Custom windowed resolution.
Completely eliminates blur
Pixel misalignment causes menus and text to look weird
The aspect ratio of the render resolution must match the internal resolution or the graphics and collision won't match.
The game only has internal resolutions for two common aspect ratios: 1366x768 for 16:9 and 1024x768 for 4:3.

Disabling parallax effects

Parallax effects can reduce performance, especially in the main menu and during cut-scenes.
Use lower graphics quality
  1. Enable "Rain World Remix" in the Remix menu.
  2. Go to the Options menu.
  3. Set "Quality" to Medium or Low.

Issues fixed

Game crashing/freezing/stuttering and weird behavior

Seems to affect mainly Windows 7 users, most likely because of the game not having access to enough RAM. Freeing up RAM by closing background applications or increasing the page file size may help. Also disabling fullscreen optimizations on Windows 10 may solve stutter issues.
Increase page file size (Windows 7)[citation needed]
  1. Press Start
  2. Search View advanced system settings and select it
  3. Under Performance press Settings
  4. Under the Advanced tab press Change
  5. Check Custom size and input your numbers. It is best to put the initial size the same as 'Recommended', and the max size around 1.5-2x that value. Remember to press Set before pressing OK.
  6. You will need to restart the computer for it to take effect
Disabling fullscreen optimizations (Windows 10)[citation needed]
  1. Right-click RainWorld.exe
  2. Click Properties
  3. Under compatibility section there is a checkbox named "Disable fullscreen optimizations"
  4. Check it
  5. Click Apply, then click OK
