Allows all resolutions to be selected.[6]
Works only with latest retail version 1.00.2.[citation needed]
It's required to delete configuration files in order for the game to launch with this fix, make sure that the game didn't created a secondary configuration files location HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\VUGAMES\Scarface.[citation needed]

Widescreen resolution

Use SilentPatch to introduce widescreen resolution support[10][11]
  1. Install SilentPatch.
  2. Start the game and most common resolutions should be available now in the in-game graphics menu.

Notes

In case of boot issues or desired resolution not being available in-game, set custom resolution in <path-to-game>\settings.ini instead by adjusting the ScreenHeight and ScreenHeight (create these values if they don't exist yet) to the desired resolution.

  1. Install SilentPatch.
  2. Start the game once for the settings file to be created.
  3. Set custom FOV in <path-to-game>\settings.ini by adjusting the FOV value (create the value if it does not exist yet) to the desired FOV value.

Issues unresolved

Controls reset after dying[citation needed]

Red box on the startup screen, not finding saved game profile

This can occur on modern systems sporadically even with all the patches and fixes installed.
Setting Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Windows Compatibility Mode for <path-to-game>\scarface.exe[14][dubious – discuss]

Issues fixed

Corrupted graphics on modern systems

Use SilentPatch[10]

Or use this: https://www.moddb.com/addons/scarface-the-world-is-yours-modern-windows-fix.

Low frame rate

Use SilentPatch[10]

Very slow in-game mouse-movement

Negative mouse acceleration is forced in-game and can't be disabled. It gets significantly worse the higher your mouse polling rate is high or DPI is low. It can cause very slow mouse-movement in-game, making it hard to accurately aim with your weapon.[15]
Use SilentPatch and set camera speed multiplier[16]
  1. Install SilentPatch.
  2. Set CameraSpeedMultiplier value (create this value if they don't exist yet) in <path-to-game>\settings.ini to the desired float value.[16].
Use Scarface Fusion Fix[17]
Can possibly make mouse movement too fast with no way to adjust it.[17]
Workaround: Lower the mouse's polling rate through hardware or software options to a lower value like 125hz[18]
Option not available for all mice.
Workaround: Set mouse DPI very high to a value like 12000 through hardware or software options[19]
Option not available for all mice.

Run the game at screen refresh rate

The game defaults to a 60 Hz refresh rate. Enforcing a 60 FPS cap is still recommended.
Override refresh rate set by game[20]
  1. Download and extract dgVoodoo 2.
  2. Copy D3D9.dll from the MS\x86\ folder to the game folder.
  3. Run dgVoodoo, and add the game folder to the list.
  4. Enable the Enumerate refresh rates option.
  5. Go to the DirectX tab, and set the desired resolution (e.g. 1920x1080, 119Hz).
  6. (Optional) Disable the dgVoodoo Watermark option to prevent the dgVoodoo logo from showing on game launch.
  7. Click OK to apply changes.

Scarface Fusion Fix

Fixes gamepad support and very slow in-game mouse-movement, while adding several optional features like windowed mode, modern gamepad control scheme, FPS limit and skippable intro videos.
Install Fusion Fix[5]
  1. Install SilentPatch (includes ASI Loader this mod depends on).
