Not to be confused with Saboteur!.

The Saboteur is a third-person action-adventure game where the player assumes the role of a member of the French Resistance in Paris during World War II.

The gameplay is a mix of third-person melee and ranged combat, driving, climbing, parkour and assassinations. As the title implies, many tasks involve sabotage.

This game's released state was quite buggy, with issues preventing proper display and gameplay, including crashes relating to CPU core affinity as well as improper map display at high resolutions (above 720p). The GOG release addresses these issues, among a few others.

Issues fixed

Bridges can not be blown up

When blowing up bridges, the cutscene showing the explosion is not played and the bridge remains intact. Despite this, it is listed in the statistics as destroyed.

Cap the frame rate to less than 60 FPS^[3]

Game doesn't start on a Windows 10/4+ core system

Fixed in the GOG.com release.

There is no dedicated fix - just use GOG version

If you don't own GOG version of the game, use Origin to GOG patch. Fallback version of the patch may theoretically be used with retail version.

Notes

The problem may still persist on Windows 10 x64 build 1803

Accessing the Stats screen and exiting the game crashes to desktop/freezes the game

Change resolution to 1920x1080^[4]^[5]

As a workaround to exit the game at higher than 1920x1080 resolutions, select the stats screen to force the game to crash to desktop and therefore exit without freezing the game at the exit prompt. If exiting normally at 4K resolution for example, a freeze occurs which can block access to the desktop requiring a system restart to regain control (saves are not impacted by this workaround).

Set the game's resolution to 1920x1080 or less (1440p and higher causes these crashes)

Low performance on modern systems

Disable shadows^[2]
Open `<path-to-game>\VideoSetup.exe`. Disable the game's shadows in the options menu.

Broken map overlay

Fixed in the GOG.com release.

Set lower resolution^{[citation needed]}
Set the game's resolution to 720p or lower.

Game only runs at 640x480 resolution

If the refresh rate is set higher than 60 Hz, the resolution will always default back to the lowest settings

(This is only an issue now when going above 85Hz, it will default to the lowest game settings when using 100/120/144Hz, maybe higher too)

Change refresh rate^{[citation needed]}
For running the game at higher than 60 Hz properly, see Run the game at screen refresh rate.

Set windowed mode^{[citation needed]}
See Windowed.

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.

Set screen refresh rate^{[citation needed]}

Open VideoSetup.exe in the installation folder.
Set refresh rate to 60 Hz or less.
Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide. Manual local installation may work better. If you install manually, you may have to name the Special K DLL dinput8.dll instead of D3D9.dll.
Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
Open <path-to-game>\d3d9.ini, <path-to-game>\dinput8.ini, or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\Saboteur.exe\SpecialK.ini, depending on the installation method.
Change RefreshRate=-1 to RefreshRate=0 under [Render.FrameRate].

"The Saboteur is unable to continue due to an error initializing your graphics hardware."

Set windowed mode^{[citation needed]}
See Windowed.

Game freezes when opening certain messages from other characters

Set windowed mode. Alternatively, try changing Vsync and refresh rate.

See Windowed.

Notes

The game auto saves after a (properly) opened message is closed, so you can quit the game and revert the changes before meeting the sender. Windowed mode can be disabled by adding "//" before it in config.ini (//Windowed 1) or changing to Windowed 0.

Controller incorrectly mapped

Instructions^{[citation needed]}

Download The Saboteur - Controller Remapping Fix.
Copy the file to the installation folder and overwrite.

Notes

Alternatively, go to the installation folder, open InputTemplates.txt and remove alternative pad then save.

Xbox 360 Controller camera control fix

Instructions^{[citation needed]}
Go to the installation folder. Open `InputTemplates.txt`. Look for a section called OTHER GAMEPAD. Change SOLDIER_TURN_LEFT from JOYSTICK_STICK2_LEFT to INPUT_NONE. Change SOLDIER_TURN_RIGHT from JOYSTICK_STICK2_RIGHT to INPUT_NONE. Go to the configuration file(s) location. Repeat this process for `InputTemplates.txt`.
