Issues unresolved

Invisible text

Some users are reporting that Windows 10 causes text to be invisible,[2] however some can play the game without any problems at all[3] and there doesn't seem to be any explanation or fix available.

Issues fixed

Low frame rate

Frame rate may drop to around 20-30 FPS after a few minutes of play. This is especially common with people using Logitech devices.
Instructions

Missing sounds

The Steam version's CondemnedA.Arch00 is noticeably smaller when compared to the retail game. Because of this, and reversed audio files within the .Arch00 file, many sounds are simply missing from the Steam version.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 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>/4720/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (4720) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
