Issues fixed

Cannot save game progress

Run the game as administrator.^{[citation needed]}

Config utility issues / "Can't Find Steam" error

Run `JadeEmpireConfig.exe` in compatibility mode for Windows Vista SP2.^{[citation needed]}

If the issue persists or the config tool freezes at one point while gathering system information on the first launch, try the following:

Create a configuration file^{[citation needed]}

Using a text editor, create a blank text file and name it SystemInformation.xml.
Save it to the <path-to-game>\data
Copy the Steam.dll file from the <Steam-folder> into <path-to-game>.

This will effectively bypass the config tool. This should also fix the "Can't Find Steam" error.

Stuttering graphics

When the computer has been up for a while (at least a week) or the Fast Boot option is enabled in Windows 8 or newer, the game will continually stutter regardless of the framerate, hardware capability, or operating system. The game sets its pacing by using the Windows API QueryPerformanceCounter that returns a monotonically increasing total count of CPU cycles since boot. When it gets past 2⁴⁰, the game becomes unplayable. At that point, the only option is to reboot the computer.

Override QueryPerformanceCounter^[3]

Download the fix
Extract it, and put the d3d9.dll file into <path-to-game>.

Notes

The fix allows the game to count cycles from when the game itself was started.

If the problem recurs (perhaps because you leave the game running for a week), you need only exit and restart the game.

Crash when installed in a storage space

The game will refuse to run when installed on a drive which is managed by a Storage Space on Windows 8 and later.

Install the game on a drive that is not a Storage Space^{[citation needed]}

-===Config Utility Issues===
+===Stuttering graphics===
-{{Fixbox|1=
+{{ii}} When the computer has been up for a while (at least a week) or the Fast Boot option is enabled in Windows 8 or newer, the game will continually stutter regardless of the framerate, hardware capability, or operating system. The game sets its pacing by using the Windows API QueryPerformanceCounter that returns a monotonically increasing total count of CPU cycles since boot. When it gets past 2<sup>40</sup>, the game becomes unplayable. At that point, the only option is to reboot the computer.
-{{Fixbox/fix|Config Utility Issues}}
-If the config tool fails to launch with a "Can't find Steam" error message, simply restarting Steam should fix that.
-If the issue persists or the config tool freezes at one point while gathering system information on your first launch, try the following;
+{{Fixbox|description=Override QueryPerformanceCounter|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=197207529|title=Steam Community :: Guide :: How to fix poor performance/stuttering in Jade Empire|date=2020-10-13}}</ref>|fix=
+# [https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/2033-jade-empire-stutter-fix/ Download the fix]
+# Extract it, and put the {{file|d3d9.dll}} file into {{folder|{{p|game}}}}.
+'''Notes'''
+{{ii}} The fix allows the game to count cycles from when the game itself was started.
+{{ii}} If the problem recurs (perhaps because you leave the game running for a week), you need only exit and restart the game.
+}}
-# Locate the JadeEmpireConfig file in the installation folder.
+===Crash when installed in a storage space===
-# Right click, select properties, select compatibility and set it to compatibility mode for Windows Vista SP2.
+The game will refuse to run when installed on a drive which is managed by a Storage Space on Windows 8 and later.
-If this fails to fix the freeze, you must do the following;
+{{Fixbox|description=Install the game on a drive that is not a Storage Space|ref={{cn|date=September 2016}}}}
-# Using notepad, create a blank text file.
-# Name it SystemInformation.xml and save it in the <code>data</code> folder inside the installation folder.
-# Copy the Steam.dll file from the Steam installation folder into the Jade Empire installation folder.
-{{ii}} This will effectively bypass the config tool which should allow you to launch the game.
