Encrypted configuration files
The game's configuration files are encrypted.
User Rick has developed a utility on the XeNTaX forums which can decrypt the files, allow them to be edited, and then re-encrypted so that Spec Ops: The Line can work.

Issues fixed
No sound during cutscenes
- The problem appears to be that bounded to multiple causes, like wrong audio routing, wrong codecs or surround audio setups.[1]

Issues unresolved
Crashing and low frame rate
- Users have reported crashing, low frame rates.[2]
- AMD users have experienced the game crashing on launch, with the message,
C:\depot\PC\UnrealEngine3\Development\Src\D3D9Drv\Src\D3D9Device.cpp:718 with error D3DERR_INVALIDCALL"
rendering the game unplayable.[3] The game runs on 3840 x 2160 screen resolution by default, see below for fix.

Integrated graphics
Laptops with both integrated (onboard) graphics and discrete graphics may have a tendency to run Spec Ops: The Line on integrated graphics, resulting in markedly poor performance, even on lowest settings.

Mouse speed
Mouse speed adjustment in the menu does not always work properly.[4]
In the single player campaign mode changing the mouse speed during gameplay can cause the mouse speed to become extremly high regardless of the value it was set to. It is recommended to set the mouse speed from the options menu before starting gameplay to avoid this issue.
In multiplayer mode the mouse speed sometimes is at an extremely high level regardless of the setting. Contrary to single player mode, setting the value in the options menu before starting a game does not necessarily prevent this problem.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/50300/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (50300) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
