Set screen refresh rate[4]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Video.scr with a text editor.
  3. Set MaxRefresh to the screen refresh rate (e.g. MaxRefresh(120)).
  4. Add Fullscreen() at the bottom if it doesn't exist.

The game starts with upside down, and black and white videos

Windows 8, 8.1 and later systems are affected. If this 'bug' is happening, just follow the instructions below.
Instructions[5]
  1. Download and extract the Sniper: Ghost Warrior 'Upside down', 'black and white' menu fix.
  2. Go to <path-to-game>\Game\Data\Menu\Movies\ and make a backup from the files inside.
  3. Replace the existing files with the new ones. Now the game's background, intros and credits should look like normal.
