High frame rate

Use Patched EXE[citation needed]
Use the FPS cap fix. Available options are 40 FPS, 50 FPS, 60 FPS, and unlimited. Notes All cutscenes, both pre-rendered and rendered in-engine, will continue to run at 30fps. This may cause occasional crashes. Force-gripped objects/enemies may constantly move upwards when using the 50 and 60 FPS exes; if this happens, use the 40 FPS exe.

Issues fixed

Crash on startup

If your monitor resolution does not match the game's or you are using a second monitor it will crash on load. This seems most common when your desktop is set to 1920x1080.

There is also a problem where if your monitor is set to a refresh rate of 59 instead of 60 the game may crash.

Fix 1920x1080 crash[citation needed]
Set your desktop resolution to 1650x1050 and boot the game. From there navigate to the options and change the game resolution. You can now exit out of the game and change your resolution back and the game should boot.

Fix 59 Hz crash[citation needed]
Right click your desktop, select properties or screen resolution. Click advanced under the resolution tab, and change your monitor to a 60 Hz refresh rate.

Fix dual screen crash[citation needed]
Open SWTFU2.exe compatibility settings. Check the box saying "Disable Desktop Composition". Notes This will disable Aero but turn it back on when you're done playing and you can keep both screens plugged in.

Set compatibility mode[citation needed]
Open SWTFU2.exe compatibility settings. Set Windows 7 compatibility mode.

In game videos not playing

Change WMV association[citation needed]
Change the default .wmv video player to Windows Media Player.

Disable in-game videos[citation needed]
Rename FMV folder located in <path-to-game>/Game/Disc/ (to FMV_old, for example).
