Version differences
- The German Edition only includes the German language and has content differences (e.g. no swastikas).
Essential improvements
Restore cache files
- 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.

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] |

Solution presumably for AMD GPUs
Do not delete the WolfOldBlood_x64 file or else it won't work. Make sure that the two laucnh file are in the game folder, WolfOldBlood_x64 and WolfOldBlood_x32. Steamless binary update 1 achieves few FPS more. For extra performance in some scenarios, keep Steam in background, in offline mode, with Internet connection disabled. |
Set specific level of certain details[5] |
---|
|
Force the game to use copied AMD OpenGL driver (atioglxx.dll)[7] |
---|
Search for atioglxx.dll inside Windows folder, or use this one. Then copy the file inside the game folder.
|
Stutter, textures pop-in, freezes on 3GB VRAM cards
Increase texture buffer[8] |
