Issues fixed

Game always runs windowed (Windows 8)

On Windows 8 the game may ignore resolution choices, always running in windowed mode. Windows 7 compatibility mode fixes this.

Set Windows 7 compatibility mode[citation needed]
Right-click the game's shortcut (or Enclave.exe) and choose Properties. On the Compatibility tab, choose Run this program in compatibility mode for. Choose Windows 7 from the list. Click OK to apply your changes. The game will now run in fullscreen mode correctly. The desktop may be briefly shown when launching the game but it will go to fullscreen afterwards.

Issues with mouse movement, drinking potions, and movement stutter

Use 125 Hz mouse polling rate[citation needed]
Setting the mouse polling rate to 125 Hz may alleviate various issues with mouse movement affecting gameplay. If your mouse does not have adjustable polling rate and you still experience problems, using a different/older mouse may work.

Overexposed light effect when using torch

Use dgVoodoo
Download dgVoodoo 2. Extract dgVoodooCpl.exe and the contents of the MS\x86 subfolder to <path-to-game>. Run dgVoodooCpl.exe. Click on "Add" and choose the installation folder. Go to the DirectX tab. Disable "dgVoodoo Watermark" and click OK.

High FPS issues

Limit the frame rate to 60 FPS[citation needed]

Linux version doesn't run

The Linux version available on Steam is actually the Windows version with a Wine wrapper, which tends to be less effective than simply using Steam's built-in compatibility tool.

Run the Windows version with Proton
In the Compatibility tab of the game's Properties window in Steam, enable the "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" option and select a Proton version — preferably 5.13-6 or older (see color depth issue) — from the drop-down list.

Reduced color depth (Proton/Linux)

Color banding may occur with Proton 6.3-8 or newer.

Use Proton 5.13-6 or older
In the Compatibility tab of the game's Properties window in Steam, enable the "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" option and select Proton 5.13-6 or older from the drop-down list.
