Issues and Fixes

Bad Performance / Lag

  • Play the game in DX9 Mode instead of DirectX 10 or 11
  • Lower the game resolution
  • Lower the graphics settings from high to low! Specifically, try turning down Post Processing and Ambient occlusion!
  • Update your video card drivers! New graphic card drivers (such as Catalyst) provide for increased frame rates and bug fixes tailored to specific games and just general optimization.
  • Turn off VSYNC and AntiAliasing (AA)!
  • Sometimes if you’re using SLI or CrossFire, it’s worth trying to play the game with one card instead of two.

No Sound

  1. Turn off Hardware Sound Acceleration in DXDIAG (RUN > DXDIAG > SOUND > DirectX Features)
  2. Lower your Sample Rate Conversion Quality (or turn off Hardware Acceleration) through Sounds & Audio Devices in the Control Panel (Volume > Speaker Settings > Advanced > Performance)
  3. Anyone using a 7.1 or 5.1 speaker configuration should try setting it to 2.1 on Windows

Game Controller Not Working

If you are using a game controller, such as a Xbox 360 Controller, then you may encounter a problem with it working. Be sure to plug in the game controller BEFORE you launch the If you have any other devices plugged into USB ports, then remove those too before playing.

Fail to Launch / Hangs / Freezes After Intro or Advertisement

  • Set the compatibility mode to the game to “Windows XP”
  • Run the game directly instead of using the generated shortcut
  • Check your game cache / revalidate it to ensure you have okay files
  • Run the game in DirectX 9 mode
  • If you use multiple monitors, then disable one of them
  • Exit any program that could mess with the game
  • Run the game in a different, more common resolution
