Issues fixed
Crash at launch
Install Nvidia PhysX Legacy System Software v9.13.0604[citation needed] |
---|
- May requires the Ageia PhysX PPU1 or PPU2 with Ageia driver 7.11.13 instead.[citation needed]
Visual glitches when looking through scopes
- When looking through scopes with patch 1.35 installed, many objects may appear black.
Use a custom version of dxwrapper |
---|
|
Falling through terrain
- In the Steam version, the player can fall through the terrain. This becomes an issue in mission 5 (Mayday! Mayday!) if going too far north, and in mission 6 (Ready for bear) which happens before exiting the APC.
Rename patch.bundle[citation needed] |
---|
|
Cross-com does not work (middle mouse button)
- In the Steam version, the middle mouse button does not seem to function as it should, i.e. ordering soldiers to execute a command. The following fix will allow the opening of the command menu, but only to issue move orders, not other commands.
Editing ctrl_set_def.xml[citation needed] |
---|
|
Temporary freeze at startup
- The retail version of GRAW is still looking for the GameSpy servers on startup, but does not get a response since its 2014 shutdown. This lookup causes a temporary freeze, about 20 seconds long. This can be prevented by editing the Windows hosts file, but may conflict with GameSpy alternatives for other games.
