Issues fixed
Resolution change causes the game to crash
- Changing the resolution of the game from the in-game settings menu cause the game to crash.
Manually edit the config[4]
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Open
Settings.json using any text editor.
- Adjust lines 2 and 3 to your desired resolution
"DisplayFullscreenWidth": 1280
"DisplayFullscreenHeight": 768
- The game will now correctly run at your desired resolution without crashing..
Notes
- Changing your resolution to anything higher than 1080p causes sub menu items to display in the wrong position on screen, functionality is still perfect however.
- The provided samples are the default settings for the settings file.
|
Stuttering
Stuttering may be reduced by freeing video RAM[citation needed]
|
This can be done in-game by:
- Reducing Texture Quality
- Reducing Resolution
- Reducing Anti-Aliasing
This can also be done in Windows by:
- Disconnecting Secondary Monitors
- Closing VRAM heavy applications, e.g. Web Browsers
- Change to windows basic theme (Windows 7 only)
|
Lock-on missiles not working
- If using mouse and keyboard, lock-on missiles in vehicles might not work. Bug unpatched since launch.
Disable 'precision aim' Gear MOD and restart the game.[5]
|
- Go to the Gear MOD menu for weapons.
- Disable the Precision Aim MOD.
- Restart the game.
- The game will hopefully let missiles lock on.
|
Use an XInput controller.[6]
|
- Plug in or connect an XInput controller
- Start Steam Big Picture
- Launch Just Cause 3
- The game will hopefully let missiles lock on.
