Issues fixed
Graphical artifacts/glitches
- This issue only appears with AMD Radeon cards, updating to the latest driver might fix it.[2]
Game runs too fast
- Game is designed to run with 60 Hz monitor running 60 FPS with Vsync. With higher refresh rates this means game will run faster.
- Sometimes simply playing with fullscreen mode fixes the issue.[3]
- Either cap frame rate to 60 FPS externally or use games internal capper.
Activate cap by running the game with the -r command line argument[citation needed]
|
|---|
FPS issues/slow gameplay
- Using the "Fixed" frame rate method will activate frame skips which will allow the game to run at regular speed. Online play is always rendered using the Fixed frame rate method.[3]
- Setting backgrounds to "Static" will drastically reduce processing, thus increasing FPS.[3]
- Try running the game in windowed mode.[3]
Force windowed mode by running the game with the -w command line argument[citation needed]
|
|---|
Game crash after intro logos
- Official Microsoft Windows Media Player codecs are required to run the videos in KOFXIIISE.
| Enable/install Windows Media Player[citation needed] |
|---|
|
| Disable hardware acceleration for WMV files[citation needed] |
|---|
|
Disable all videos by running the game with the -v command line argument[3]
|
|---|
Game hangs on initial loading screen
Force windowed mode by running the game with the -w command line argument and press Alt+↵ Enter to switch back to exclusive fullscreen mode.[3]
