Nvidia Inspector antialising compatibility setting for GRAW.
Field of View
Instructions[citation needed]
|
Can be modified by editing renderer_settings.xml (see Configuration file location) and changing the value of "aspect ratio" . A value of 2 to 2.5 is recommended for 16:9 displays, with 2.3 being ideal with minimal clipping of weapon models.[3] For example, <variable name="aspect_ratio" value="0"/> becomes <variable name="aspect_ratio" value="2.3"/> .
|
- With Nvidia graphics cards, true anti-aliasing can be forcibly enabled via Nvidia Profile Inspector with the Antialiasing compatibility bit

Issues fixed
Crash at launch
- 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.
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]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>\bundles
- Rename
patch.bundle to Xpatch.bundle .
- This change may break multiplayer but can be reverted if necessary.[6]
|
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]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>\Settings .
- Open
ctrl_set_def.xml in a text editor.
- Change the line:
<button id="hud_select" binding="2" device="mouse" group="misc"/> to
<button id="hud_select" binding="2" device="mouse" group="tactics"/> .
|
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.
Editing Windows Hosts File[citation needed]
|
- Go to
%WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc .
- Open
hosts with a text editor running as administrator.
- Add the following lines at the bottom:
127.0.0.1 greconawf.available.gamespy.com
127.0.0.1 key.gamespy.com
127.0.0.1 greconawf.ms0.gamespy.com

Other information
HD textures upscaled
- [1] 8K-Remastered Textures. Attention, the instructions may be faulty in some cases. Inside the directory Local, if you do not have a folder named English, create one. Them put the texture files inside the Folder TEXTURES. Afterwards, the game might revert to the setting of low for textures. Change the setting to high. Don't forget to patch the executable to address more than 2gb memory if on 64 bit Windows. you can use nt 4gb, here https://ntcore.com/?page_id=3
