Issues unresolved
Repeated Xbox controller buttons input
- Using an Xbox controller may result in the game registering each button press more than once.[7]
|
Connect or reconnect the controller after launching the game, not before it[8]
|
|
Enable a Steam Input Xbox controller preset[9]
|
- From the Steam client settings, access Big Picture Mode.
- Navigate to Library → Death Stranding -> Manage Game.
- Select Controller Options under Steam Input and set the option to Forced On.
- In the same menu, select Controller Configuration and Browse Configs.
- Choose and apply one of the official Xbox presets.
|
Issues fixed
TAA enabled on launch
- The game may enable TAA on startup irrespective of the last anti-aliasing setting.
|
Modify the game executable to force the preferred anti-aliasing method[10]
|
- Open
<path-to-game>\ds.exe or <path-to-game>\DeathStranding.exe in a hex editor (e.g. HxD).
- Search for
48 8D 8D 58 01 00 00 83 FB 02 0F 46 C3 as hex.
- Replace it with:
48 8D 8D 58 01 00 00 83 FB 02 B0 00 90 for no anti-aliasing.48 8D 8D 58 01 00 00 83 FB 02 B0 01 90 for FXAA.48 8D 8D 58 01 00 00 83 FB 02 B0 02 90 for TAA (default).
- Save the changes.
|
Corrupted save data
- The game does not allow players to share their save data, displaying a "corrupted data" error.
|
Modify the game executable to bypass the save data checks[11]
|
- Open
<path-to-game>\ds.exe or <path-to-game>\DeathStranding.exe in a hex editor (e.g. HxD).
- Search for
75 05 41 C6 46 3A 11 48 8D 8D as hex.
- Replace it with
EB 05 41 C6 46 3A 11 48 8D 8D to bypass the checks.
- Save the changes.
- Launch Death Stranding and load the game.
- On the first launch, a "corrupted data" error may pop up: click "OK" and ignore it. This will only show once.
- When the new save data has been loaded and saved, the original executable can be restored.

Notes
- ↑ When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below
%PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1850570/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1850570) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
- ↑ Although Digital Foundry believed the level of filtering to be 16x, multiple other reports suggest the value is lower or close to 2x.[citation needed]
