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.

VR support

Issues unresolved

Broken multi-monitor support

Multi-monitor resolutions worked correctly in the original version but have an incorrect aspect ratio in the Director's Cut.[7]

Dual Screen mode not available

The Dual Screen mode described in the manual is still not available. Eidos assert that it will be available in the future.[8]

Issues fixed

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".[9]
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

Poor performance

Some players have reported poor performance with the Director's Cut version.
Instructions

Crash on start (Windows 8 and later)

Some players have reported that when starting the game, it crashes outright when the integrated Intel(R) HD Graphics adapter is enabled.

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>/238010/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (238010) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
