Version differences
- The German edition [1] (aka LV release) contains only the German language and has content differences (e.g. no swastikas). This version is now hidden from the storefronts, but is still available. The original uncut version listed as "internal version" is also available. This version does not support the German language.

Essential improvements
Restore cache files
- The texture cache folder is not created by the game, so you need to create it manually to make the cache functional.
- This can fix some stuttering in the game.
Manually create texture cache folder[1]
|
- Go to
%LOCALAPPDATA% and create a folder named MachineGames .
- Go into that folder and create a folder named
Wolfenstein The Old Blood .
- The game will now correctly store the texture cache between sessions.
Notes
- The game creates two files there, one of which is 1 GB in size. This file is not deleted after uninstalling the game and has to be deleted manually.
- Normal Windows shortcuts do not work to relocate the
MachineGames folder or the Wolfenstein The Old Blood folder to another drive.
- If your Windows OS supports it, an NTFS junction point (
mklink /J <link> <target> ) will allow redirecting the folder to a different location.
- Command line option
+fs_cachepath "your_cache_path_here" will redirect the cache folder. Command cannot be inserted in console during running of the game. It has to be inserted as parameter for WolfOldBlood_x64.exe .
- Slow HDD can prevent from achieving high FPS when texture cache is collected in this folder. Consider placing the cache (and the game itself) on an SSD.

Issues fixed
Vertical sync disables itself intermittently
Force Vsync[2]
|
- Disable in-game vertical sync.
- Force vertical sync externally. See Force Vsync for instructions.
|
Mouse thumb buttons not working
- Experiencing this can be a nuisance if you prefer re-binding actions to these buttons, such as binding melee to mouse 5.
Disable any other devices that show in Device Manager under "Mice and other pointing devices."[citation needed]
|
- Right Click the windows start button and click Device Manager
- Look under "Mice and other pointing devices" and try disabling devices other than your main mouse
- Usually any "Gamer" peripherals like the Razer DeathStalker could include mouse functions that prevent some games such as Wolfenstein to not recognize some functions of your main mouse.
Notes
- Depending on which device was interfering that you had to disable, your peripheral may lose some functionality such as macro keys or any keybindings that mimicked mouse functions. However normal keys should still work fine.
|
Artifacts on textures appear when you move
Disable VirtualTexture Compression[5]
|
- Go to advanced video settings
- Disable the VirtualTexture Compression option
- The game will no longer show artifacts on textures.
Notes
- In game performance and loading times may suffer greatly. Not advisable for use with GPU transcoding or on a lower end PC as it requires much more VRAM.
