Issues fixed
Game launches extremely zoomed in
- The issue occurs when the application scaling conflicts with Windows' scaling.
Override high DPI scaling[citation needed]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game> .
- Right-click on
aamfp.exe and select Properties .
- Click on the
Compatibility tab, then select Change high DPI settings .
- Check the
Override high DPI scaling behavior box and make sure the drop-down menu is set to Application .
- Click OK, apply the changes and launch the game.
|
Low frame rate
- Two particular video options, anti-aliasing (known as "smoothing" in-game) and ambient occlusion, drastically decrease frame rate with very little visual improvement. Turning these settings off is recommended. See the PCGamingWiki Port Report.
Vertical camera movement only with mouse
Disconnect controller[7]
|
- Unplug your controller.
- Start a new game.
|
Crash during startup
Disconnect any gamepads and then start the game[8]
|
Freeze/lag every now and then
- A possible solution can be found at the official Amnesia A.M.F.P Troubleshooting Guide.[9]
Edit main settings[citation needed]
|
- Go to
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Amnesia\Pig
- Open 'main_settings.cfg' in a text editor.
- Locate entry
<Sound... .
- Change
MaxChannels="64" to MaxChannels="32" .
- Change
StreamBuffers="8" to StreamBuffers="4" .
- Start the game and check if it worked.
- If not, also change
StreamBufferSize="262144" to StreamBufferSize="131072" .

Start in offline mode[10]
|

- Start the game and enter Launcher Settings.
- Select auto-detect video device.
- Alternatively remove all .ini files from the game data locations for the game and try fix again.
|
Adjusting in-game gamma does nothing
Disable gamma changing programs such as f.lux or DisplayCAL[citation needed]
|
Gamma changes persist after exiting the game
- If the in-game gamma setting is increased, it can sometimes alter the desktop's gamma even after the game is closed.
Use f.lux to restore gamma[citation needed]
|
- Download and install f.lux.
- Run it and the desktop gamma should return to normal.

Strong blue haze
- The game has slight blue fog effect that is very apparent in the first level. This is intentional,[12] but this effect can be undesirably strong on some screens.
Fog editing mod[13]
|
- Launch the game at least once and disable color grading in the video options
- Download the mod here, then extract its contents in
<path-to-game>\maps\ .
- Overwrite existing files
- Start a new game or proceed through a level transition to take effect
|
Edit save files[14]
|
- Launch the game and create save if you don't have one.
- Go to
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Amnesia\Pig\<user-id>
- Locate your last save and open it in text editor.
- Locate entry
name="mbFogActive" val="true" and change true to false .
|
Edit shader files[15]
|
An alternative to the save game method is to edit the shader files. This has the advantage of being a permanent solution (instead of per-save), and it also allows you to reduce (or increase!) the effect by an arbitrary factor.
- Go to
<path-to-game>/core/shaders
- Edit
deferred_fog_frag.glsl .
- Locate entry
float fAmount = max(fDepth / avFogStartAndLength.y,0.0); and change it to float fAmount = 0.0; to switch the effect off completely, or e.g. to float fAmount = max(0.25 * fDepth / avFogStartAndLength.y,0.0); to reduce the effect to 25 % of original.
|
- On some setups editing the shader files/disabling the fog through editing a save file doesn't fully alleviate the symptom. If that's true for you, then disabling through the game's settings all or a combination of: colour grading, screen space ambient occlusion (SSAO), and Vsync should fix the issue when applied in conjunction with one of the above fixes
