Key points

With mods, and while the game is not suffering from technical issues, it is the most definitive version of the game.
Resolution locked to 1280x720. Use DPfix to increase rendering resolution along with many other options.
This port was heavily criticized at release due to glitches. A patch was released to increase stability. It is recommended to save frequently and make occasional backup copies of the save file, especially before chapter 9.
The Director's Cut suffers from an extremely unsaturated cold color palette that is very different from the original Xbox 360 version. See Color Fix for a workaround.

DPfix

Unzip the files to the game's install folder and change the options you want in the DPfix.ini file.
Increases resolution above 1280x720, adds many graphics/window options and more.

Controller remapping

The game's launcher allows to rebind all the buttons as well as triggers. However the game uses DirectInput, instead of modern XInput API - because of that, you cannot bind Look / Draw Weapon to Left Trigger and Attack to Right Trigger, as pressing both will result in no action being taken.

Issues unresolved

York begins mumbling at sidequest 20

When York is talking to Lilly in the Milk Barn for the third and final storage room sidequest, York begins mumbling during the conversation.[2]

There are no known fixes for this, although this is a very minor glitch and does not prevent the player from doing the sidequest.

Cutscenes don't play

For some, cutscenes aren't shown. The player must press escape or enter to get past a black screen in order to get to the next section.

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>/247660/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (247660) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
