Game data

Save game location

Template:Game Location Table

When trying to move/backup save games, including the folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\XLive is essential, or else the save games might not work. This folder needs to be restored back to the same location.

Field of view (FOV)

Can be edited via Flawless Widescreen, but only with a cracked exe since GFWL's protection measures can make it difficult to use memory hacks [4]

Remapping

  • When mapping a button which already is mapped to another function, a warning will show up, informing the player that the controls won't work properly. To solve this, just either unbind the other function or preferably just remap it to another unused button.
  • Buttons on a controller can't be remapped, but there are 4 preconfigured control types to choose from.
