'''Notes'''
Unfortunately, 1920x1200 does not seem to work, only 1920x1080, so those with 16:10 monitors may have to live with slight letterboxing. Higher values have not been tested. Note that going into the game's options screen and changing other settings may result in the game resetting this change. Mind that manually changing the game resolution to higher than 1680x1050 will result in bugs such as the abnormal position of the enemies' health reticles.

    • ;StartupMovies=PropagandaLogo
    • ;StartupMovies=DisneyLogo
    • ;StartupMovies=Sc1_01_01

Those are all the movies that occur before the title screen.

Issues fixed

Crashing upon startup - Tron: Evolution requires PhysX to be installed in order to run properly

Instructions[11]

Notes

These legacy drivers can be installed even when an existing PhysX installation is present.


Use the GPU for PhysX

Instructions[12]
  • The game uses PhysX for its physics calculations. By default, the game only utilizes the CPU. If you own an Nvidia card, it's possible to force the game to use the GPU for PhysX. This will likely provide a small boost in performance.

To make this change:

  • Find the line with the text [Engine.Engine] in GridEngine.ini.
  • Now find the line with the text bDisablePhysXHardwareSupport.
  • Change this setting from True to False.
  • Save the changes you've made.

Notes

The game should now use your Nvidia GPU for PhysX.

Notes

  1. Games for Windows - LIVE DRM features: SSA activation, requires a Microsoft account - local profiles are not supported.
  2. 2.0 2.1 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>/315440/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (315440) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
