Problems & Bugs

Keyboard/mouse not working

Some background programs like antivirus (specifically ZoneAlarm and F-Secure) are known to cause this.

Here's a quick fix:

• Open the console (F1 key)
• Type in inp_bRawInput=0

Now everything except mouse wheel will work. This is a known bug caused by the latest patch.

How to lower mouse sensitivity even further

Open up the console and type in; prj_fMouseSensitivity

This will show you the current value that the mouse sensitivity is set to. It should be set to 1 by default, or 0.5 if you have put the slider bar all the way to the left in the options menu.

Enter; prj_fMouseSensitivity=0.2

This should lower the sensitivity even further. Play around with the numbers to get something you feel comfortable with. And yes, you can put in numbers like; 0.25, 0.05.

Save game location

Save games and settings for the default and for the moddable ("unrestricted") version are kept separately, however they can be copied over from the default to the moddable version. Doing the opposite is untested.

Piracy

Pirated copies of the game have an immortal pink scorpion to harass the player until the player dies [1].

Mods

To use your installed mods, you must launch the moddable version of the game from your Steam library. While in the moddable version of the game, custom files and maps are allowed, but achievements and leaderboards are disabled.

Serious Zone hosts a wide variety mods[2] and maps [3] for Serious Sam 3: BFE, in addition to other games in the series.

No Reloading

This mod removes the reloading on every gun except for the double-barreled shotgun (due to the unique nature of the weapon and its reloading animations). The download link can be found here[4].

No More Hitscan Arachnoids

This mod removes the hitscan chainguns of the Arachnoids in the game and replaces their attacks with dodgeable lasers. The mod can be downloaded here.[5]Template:CitadelFile and the original thread is located here[6].
