Video
- Use GRP Settings Configurator to further adjust game graphics or edit
GraphicSettings.inimanually.[9]
| Graphics feature | State | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Widescreen resolution | |||
| Multi-monitor | Unplayable due to menus being partially offscreen.[10] | ||
| Ultra-widescreen | Change the resolution in the \Game\PDC-Live\GraphicSettings.ini file. | ||
| 4K Ultra HD | |||
| Field of view (FOV) | FOV can be hacked by turning the game to windowed mode, setting the horizontal resolution through the GraphicSettings.ini to something larger than the monitor resolution, and then using SRWE to change the horizontal resolution back to native, but this sometimes results in unresponsive menus. |
||
| Windowed | |||
| Borderless fullscreen windowed | Can use SRWE to remove the borders from windowed mode, but is not supported natively. | ||
| Anisotropic filtering (AF) | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
| Anti-aliasing (AA) | While there is an antialiasing option in the GraphicSettings.ini, it may not be effective. Aliasing is still present in much of the game. |
||
| Vertical sync (Vsync) | |||
| 60 FPS | |||
| 120+ FPS | Use windowed mode with in-game Vsync enabled to bypass 60 FPS cap. | ||
| High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. | ||

Issues unresolved
Launcher continuous to run in the background
- The game's launcher may continue to run in the background after the launcher window has been closed.
- The launcher can be closed from the Windows system tray (usually bottom right),[11] or by right-clicking the taskbar icon and selecting "Close Window" (Windows 7 or above).
- This must be repeated every time the player quits the game.

Uninstallation problems
Even when using the "uninstall" option from the launcher, an error message saying the pdc-live files are in use is sometimes present. Deleting the files won't work, sending them to the recycling bin won't work either. The following is not a recommended solution: By renaming the folders "Pdc-live" and "patches" in the GRO folder to something else, uninstallation from the launcher somehow works. The folders that were renamed are removed and GRO no longer appears in "Programs and Features".
