Game crashes or displays odd artifacts[6]
- This is a common problem, especially on ATI/AMD cards.
- Intel HD Graphics are unaffected by this bug and can display the bumpmapped graphics natively.
Error with Steam
If you get an error message saying, "Failed to detect Steam", "Problem starting up Steam", or something similar, try restarting Steam. If that does not work, try one of the following solutions
|
Delete Steam ClientRegistry.blob file[citation needed]
|
- Go to
<Steam-folder>\steam.
- Delete
ClientRegistry.blob file.
|
Stretched HUD on widescreen resolutions
|
Use Widescreen HUD Fix v1.3
|
- Made to work with 16:9 aspect ratio.
- Download the fix linked above.
- Go to
<path-to-game>\GameData\Textures
- Replace the original
HUDTextures.utx with the fixed one.
Notes
- Can only be used if Bump mapping is set to
Low.
|
3D & EAX never sets and/or saves with Creative/X-fi sound card
|
Use PAX custom Creative drivers
|
- In Windows Vista and later, if the game refuses to set 3D Audio and EAX even with
UseDefaultDriver=False and a checked OpenAL setup then custom "PAX" drivers for X-fi and other Creative audio cards are needed.
- Download this (alternatively this) file and install it.
- Make sure
UseDefaultDriver=False is set in System.ini and the latest OpenAL is installed.
|
Game is in the wrong language
Modify System.ini to change the language
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>\GameData\System.
- Open
System.ini with any text editor.
- Find the line
Language=xyz and change xyz to det for German, est for Spanish, frt for French, int for English, itt for Italian, pol for Polish and rus for Russian.
