What is our goal?

The goal of PCGamingWiki is to have a page dedicated to every single PC game, and for that page to contain everything one would need to know in order for the game to be 'up to date' and provide them the best possible experience. This would include 'how to' information such as:

  • Cloud syncing save data
  • Bug workarounds
  • Skip videos and cutscenes
  • Borderless fullscreen windowed
  • Save game locations
  • Mods considered essential
  • Console commands and cfgs
  • Latest patch or fan patch
  • Hardware
  • Common errors
  • Digital/retail differences
  • Graphical issues

Good sample articles of all of the above:

Today's Featured Article

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Skill respec

Respec is provided by an NPC called a 'fateweaver'.

Skip introduction logo videos

The Big Huge Games/38 Studios/EA intro can be skipped by deleting or renaming "reckoninglogotrain.bik" under: 

\Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning\content\data\bink

Adjust level of detail for better graphics tradeoff

Using graphics tools (ATI Tray Tools or nHancer) to force a negative level of detail and high quality x16 anisotropic filtering may be a better graphics tradeoff.

  • ATI Tray Tools anistropic filtering is better than the option provided by the game.
  • Objects look crisper when they appear in the draw distance.

Multimonitor support

Not well supported, check this resource:

Borderless fullscreen windowed

Supported. Set resolution to monitors native, "Fullscreen: off" and off you go!

Save game cloud sync

Origin: Cloud saving can be activated by navigating to the game's information page and clicking the cloud symbol below the game cover.

Steam: Steam cloud is natively supported by the Steam version of this game, which will sync save game data.

Save game location

Steam version save game location: 

\Steam\userdata\*your number here*\102500\remote\

Demo

The demo of Kingdoms of Amalur is reportedly buggy and not indicative of the quality of the released game.

Unlocks available from playing the demo and linking to an Origin account:

  • A Twist of Fate Card and The Twinned Souls Chakram
  • The Infernal Helm - complete the Reckoning Mode Tutorial

The largest bug in the demo is black screen during game play. The UI and game sounds will render, but the rest of the game will not. This can be fixed by turning off Post Processing in the graphics options.

Digital distribution

All serial keys from digital distribution channels, except Steam, will activate the game on the Origin client.

Origin

Steam

Amazon digital (US only)

Use Amazon's preload data download in the Origin client:

  1. Open Reckoning.zip
  2. Close Origin
  3. Unzip into \Origin Games\Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning\

Retail

Serial keys

All serial keys from retail will activate the game on the Origin client.

Retail exclusive packs
