Issues fixed

Texture cache not being stored

The texture cache folder is not made by the game so the cache is regenerated for each session.
This can fix stuttering in the game.
Make texture cache folder[1]
  1. Go to %LOCALAPPDATA% and make a folder named MachineGames
  2. Go into that folder and make a folder named Wolfenstein The Old Blood
  3. 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 ending or 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.

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]
  1. Right Click the windows start button and click Device Manager
  2. Look under "Mice and other pointing devices" and try disabling devices other than your main mouse
  3. 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.

VirtualTexture compression showing artifacts on textures

Artifacts on textures appear when you move
Disable VirtualTexture Compression[2]
  1. Go to advanced video settings
  2. Disable the VirtualTexture Compression option
  3. The game will no longer show artifacts on textures.
In game performance and loading times may suffer greatly. Not advisable for use with GPU transcoding or on a lower end PC. Requires much more VRAM.
