Issues fixed
4-CD installation problem
- Refers to the 4-CD retail version. The following message appears on CD 2:
Delete all configuration and saved games files? (Answering YES will delete the XIII installation folder and all of its content)
. Answering Yes or No stops the installation and constantly reappears if you start the installation again.
Use unofficial patch 1.4.2.1 / XIII+[3] |
---|
|
Apply compatibility settings and rename the setup.exe file[10]
|
---|
|
Game crashes and starting problems
- Fixed in GOG.com version.
Download and install unofficial patch 1.4.2.1 / XIII+[11] |
---|
Set CPU affinity in Task Manager[6] |
---|
|
Game will not start in fullscreen
Download and install unofficial patch 1.4.2.1 / XIII+[11] |
---|
Modify XIII.ini [11]
|
---|
|
Game runs in slow motion
- Fixed in GOG.com version.

---|
Left click leaves game
- Left mouse click causes focus change away from the fullscreen window back to your desktop.
Use Alt+Tab ↹[11] |
---|
Checkpoints are not saved permanently
- Checkpoint save only applies when you die during your current play through and does not save your game. You need to quick/manually save it. Loading any level manually can be done if needed.
Use SWITCHLEVEL followed by the internal level identifier in the in-game console (F2)[12]
|
---|
- When you start a level with SWITCHLEVEL, you will start the level you have chosen with no weapons and no skills.
Issues with dedicated server
Server launcher does not work
- Server console window disappears immediately after start.
Download and install unofficial patch 1.4[13] |
---|
Failed to register the game server
- The above error appears in the server console.
Modify XIII.ini [4]
|
---|
|
Cannot change multiplayer name
- Direct IP connect to multiplayer servers results in default username being used instead of the profile name.
Modify DefUser.ini
|
---|
|
No audio in cutscenes
Instructions[14] |
---|
|
Vsync (Enable by default) not working on Windows10
|
Extreme Latency in Multiplayer
- Patch 1.4.2.1 makes changes which reduces the quality of the game's netcode.
Downgrade to unofficial patch 1.4 and join games via direct IP connect[15] |
---|
Game caps FPS at 65
- This appears to be a separate issue from the 60 hz refresh rate cap.
Set Vsync to "Fast" in Nvidia Control Panel[3] |
