Essential improvements
Skip introductions, cutscenes and videos
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.

Issues unresolved
No Polish or Russian language support in Director's Cut
- The Director's Cut does not support Polish or Russian. The only workaround is to buy the original version of the game and its DLC.
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.
Camera stuttering (stuttering while moving and looking around at the same time)
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.
Poor performance (Director's Cut)
- Some players have reported poor performance with the Director's Cut version.
Crash on start (Director's Cut, Windows 8 and newer)
- Some players have reported that when starting the game, it crashes outright when the integrated Intel(R) HD Graphics adapter is enabled.
