{{ii}} '''Rising Storm''' is a version of the game that adds the Pacific Theater. See [[#Version differences|Version differences]].

{{ii}} Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad (multiplayer) and [[Rising Storm]] use the same executable. Versions of Red Orchestra 2 purchased after September 2014 contain all of Rising Storm's content.<ref name="content">[https://support.tripwireinteractive.com/en/red-orchestra-2-rising-storm-1-kb/article/rising-storm-rifleman-only-and-no-red-orchestra-2-single-player Rising Storm - Rifleman Only And No Red Orchestra 2 Single Player]</ref> Maps for Rising Storm will have a '''RS''' prefix.
−
{{--}} Although the game supports bots, they have been described as poorly implemented. Often they use little to no tactics and have ridiculous accuracy and reaction speed, gaining instant head shots while running and instantaneously turning around to shot you when sneaking up on them.<ref>https://steamcommunity.com/app/35450/discussions/0/846957366670277368/</ref>

* A mod for restoring the original Red Orchestra 2 UI aesthetics for Rising Storm/post September 2014 Red Orchestra 2 is available [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=476079198 here].

{{ii}} '''Rising Storm''', despite being advertised as a new game or "stand alone expansion", is more or less an enhanced version of Red Orchestra 2 with the Pacific Theater added. It adds the American and Imperial Japan factions, a new armament of weapons and new maps. It also scraps the Single Player mode. Playing Rising Storm/Pacific Theater content is as simple as joining a server hosting it (both games share the same server browser); they will have the letters '''RS''' at the beginning of the map name. Rising Storm includes all of Red Orchestra 2's content and is available free for owners of the original RO2 who purchased it after September 2014 (in fact it's included in all the latest updates so you don't really have a choice). If you purchased it before September 2014 you can pay a small upgrade fee to unlock all the Rising Storm content, otherwise you can only play as a rifleman. As of 2018, Red Orchestra 2 and Rising Storm still have separate Steam pages despite providing the same game and content. Note that a mod for restoring the original Red Orchestra 2 UI aesthetics for Rising Storm users is available [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=476079198 here].

Notes

Use at your own risk when playing online on cheat-protected servers.
Force using DxWnd[citation needed]
  1. Set the game to fullscreen mode using in-game options.
  2. In DxWnd, choose Edit and Add.
  3. In a Main tab, for Path click on a button ....
  4. Go to <path-to-game> and choose ROGame.exe.
  5. Check fields in Generic area: Hook Enabled, Run in Window and Hook all DLLs.[10]
  6. In Position area change X,Y coordinates to Desktop and click OK to close a configuration window.
  7. Launch the game via Steam while running DxWnd in the backround.
Force using GeDoSaTo[11]
  1. Download GeDoSaTo from here.
  2. After installing it, select "Edit Settings".
  3. Click the plus button at the bottom, type in "ROGame" and "Create".
  4. Add forceBorderlessFullscreen true to the new profile and click save.
  5. Then click on "User Whitelist" and add "ROGame" at the bottom and save.
  6. Launch the game via Steam while running GeDoSaTo in the backround.
Incompatible with certain overlays, such as Discord overlay.

Force FOV

Edit ROGame.ini[12]
  1. Open "ROGame.ini
  2. Ctrl + F "FOV"
  3. Edit "PlayerFOV=75.000000" to whatever FOV you want.
Refrain from opening the option menu after doing this or it will reset your FOV. Could alternatively lock ROGame.ini.

Change corpse and decal despawn rate

Edit ROGame.ini[12][13]
  1. Open "ROGame.ini
  2. Ctrl + F "FXL"
  3. Edit "FXLifetimeMultiplier=1.000000" for corpses life.
  4. Edit "MaxPlayerWoundDecals=5" for maximum number of bullet holes on players/corpses.
  5. Edit "PlayerWoundDecalLifetime=60.000000" for lifetime of bullet holes on players/corpses.
  6. Edit "MaxBulletImpactDecals=15" for maximum number of bullet holes.
  7. Edit "BulletImpactDecalLifetime=7.500000" for bullet hole life.
  8. Edit "DecalLifeSpan=10.0" for lifetime of other decal effects (blood splatter, explosion marks, etc.)
1.000000 is approximately 30 seconds. Likewise 10.000000 is five minutes and 40.000000 is twenty. Keep in mind however that higher values can greatly degrade performance.
Refrain from opening the option menu after doing this or it will reset the despawn rate. Could alternatively lock ROGame.ini.

Get rid of zoom for iron sights

Edit ROGame.ini[12]
  1. Open "ROGame.ini
  2. Ctrl + F "ZoomScale"
  3. Edit "IronSightZoomScaleSMG=1.000000", "IronSightZoomScaleRifle=1.000000" and "IronSightZoomScaleBipod=1.000000" to "0.000000"
Refrain from opening the option menu after doing this or it will reset the zoom value. Could alternatively lock ROGame.ini.

Issues fixed

Poor performance on Nvidia cards, no SlI, SGSSAA or Nvidia HBAO support

Despite using the same executable, Red Orchestra 2 and Rising Storm have separate Nvidia profiles. Because of this the nearly empty Rising Storm profile is always chosen.
Use Nvidia Profile Inspector[14][15]
  1. Open Nvidia Profile Inspector and export all driver profiles as a text file.
  2. Open the text file with a editor and edit the below replacement profile in place of the Rising Storm profile. Only replace the lines that start with the word setting, rest should remain unchanged.
  3. Re-import the settings from the edited text file.
    Setting ID_0x002c7f45 = 0x00000002
    Setting ID_0x00664339 = 0x00000001

Disabling AllowFluidSimulation in ROEngine.ini may improve SLI performance further. Refrain from opening settings or lock ROEngine.ini after doing so to prevent the setting from resetting.
Will likely have to be repeated with every driver update.

Microstuttering

Microstuttering of camera view and player animations, similar to that caused by poor online connection. This is due to the interference of Microsoft multimedia drivers with connection to Red Orchestra servers.
Microstuttering[16]
  1. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile
  2. There will be an entry for network performance throttling, default value is 10 or a; set it to FFFFFFFF (will look like 0xFFFFFFFF to the right of the entry)
  3. Reboot
Edit ROEngine.ini[citation needed]

Find and edit "PoolSize" to equal the amount of available memory.

Set priority to Low or Bellow Normal in Task Manager[17]
Setting can be saved with Process Lasso

Disappearing/flickering graphical elements

An issue with object culling may cause objects, terrain, particle effects and even the sky to disappear or start flickering, usually after playing for a certain amount of time or alt-tabbing.
Disable Umbra Culling[18]
  1. Open the console with ~ or F3.
  2. Type umbra culling and press ↵ Enter to apply.

Notes

May increase or reduce performance.
Setting is not saved between sessions and will need to be applied again. Recommend binding the command to a key with the setbind command.
