Availability

Template:Availability Table

All Windows versions require Steam.

Version differences

The Augmented Edition includes an art book and other non-game content (install under Tools in the Steam client). It is only available for Windows.
The Ultimate Edition is a complete edition with all DLC. It is only available for OS X.
The Director's Cut has various changes and additional content; refer to its page for details.

Essential improvements

Skip introductions, cutscenes and videos

Instructions

ENB visual mod

Boris Vorontsov, the same who wrote the GTA:IV improve visuals, created a mod that changes the effects of lighting and smoke for improved visuals. This mod only runs in DX9 and will degrade performance. A gallery is available on his page for comparison.

The file naming convention appears to be this:

  • gameq - Quicksave file (from pressing F5)
  • gamea1 and gamea2 - Autosave files. Not sure yet if it alternates or if 2 is always the most recent.
  • gamer# (where # is 1 - 99) - Manual save files. A maximum number of 99 different save files are allowed at anytime.
  • saveindex - An index to all the save files. The save files will be useless if this file is missing/corrupted from the folder.

Issues fixed

TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found here.

Mouse lag/acceleration

Some users report that the mouse feels laggy and looking around feels unnatural. Some have attributed this to an implementation of mouse acceleration, however Eidos developer Jimo has stated that there is "no mouse smoothing applied in DXHR".

The problem may simply be input lag which is usually related to V-Sync. Disabling V-Sync seems to fix input lag for most users.
Instructions

Camera stuttering (stuttering while moving and looking around at the same time)

Instructions

Pre-rendered cutscene flickering

There is an issue that affects players using AMD Crossfire whereby pre-rendered cutscenes, e.g. the opening scene, will flicker very visibly and be impossible to watch. To fix this, simply change the AMD Crossfire X mode for dehr.exe to "optimize 1x1" in the Catalyst Control center.

This issue has been fixed in the game's latest patch.

Tutorial crash

If your game crashes when a tutorial pops up and only shows black, go into the game options and disable tutorials.

Game lags and audio stutters with FX-Bulldozer CPU

If you own an AMD Bulldozer CPU and the game is laggy (or the audio is stuttering), you can download and run a program called Orochi-Ceg that may fix the issue. It should be noted that this solution is temporary and that it may have already been fixed by your motherboard manufacturer. You are recommended to search for a BIOS update on their website for a permanent fix.

You should not, in any case, run this program if you have an Intel processor.

There are modified unofficial BIOSes that you can run that may also fix the issues. Use of these BIOSes are at your own discretion.

GA-M68MT-S2 (3.x) - FCd

Altered HUD Placement

Some users have discovered an issue where the HUD moves itself to the left-middle of the screen, as though it were placed for a different resolution. Although a restart of the game usually fixes it, this may not be the case for everyone. This thread, on Eidos' forums, details a number of other fixes users have tried, successfully, to remedy the fix.

System requirements

Windows
Minimum Recommended
Operating system (OS) XP
Processor (CPU) Dual Core 2.0 GHz

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>/28050/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (28050) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
