Issues fixed

  2. Edit d3d9.ini.
  3. Set FPSLimit to 40.

Erratic frame rate, slow downs (Nvidia only)

Force Anti-Aliasing through Nvidia Inspector[citation needed]

"No BigFile Specified as First .exe Argument" error message on startup

Error detected - No BigFile Specified as First .exe Argument
Launch using alternative executable[6]

Launch the game via CheckApplication.exe or SettingsApplication.exe (launcher).

Use command line arguments[citation needed]

Alternatively you can launch the game with /B /GDBShaders KKMaps.bf command line arguments

King Kong not properly installed

Use ThirteenAG's fix[7]
This removes "InstallPath" registry dependency.

Game breaking bugs at high frame rate

High frame rates will cause some enemies to freeze in one spot, break NPC scripting in certain areas, and disable the screen when the player takes damage.
Force Vsync or use ThirteenAG's fix[citation needed]
Running a 120 hz or 144hz monitor using G-sync or Free-sync at 60 hz can result in heavy stuttering, making ThrteenAG's fix the preferred solution.
