[edit] Improvements

[edit] Remove Introduction Movies

Fix Movie configuration • Link

  1. Open the configuration file DishonoredEngine.ini, which can be found in the following directory: %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Games\Dishonored\DishonoredGame\Config
  2. To disable all movies, find the line bForceNoStartupMovies=false and replace false with true
  • Alternatively, to disable specific movies, add a semicolon before the corresponding line. For example ;StartupMovies=LogoBethesda will disable the Bethesda logo.

[edit] Display/Hide HUD

  1. Go to: %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Games\Dishonored\DishonoredGame\Config
  2. Open: DishonoredInput.ini
  3. Add this line m_PCBindings=(Name="F6",Command="ShowHUD true")
  4. Press F6 to hide or display HUD.
Information Removing the HUD also eliminates the letterbox in cutscenes.[3]

[edit] Change Anisotropic Filtering Level

  1. Go to: %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Games\Dishonored\DishonoredGame\Config
  2. Open: DishonoredEngine.ini
  3. Find the line MaxAnisotropy
  4. Change value to desired level 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 and save the document.

[edit] Increase texture detail at larger distances (disable mipmapping)

Open the configuration file DishonoredEngine.ini, which can be found in the following directory: %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Games\Dishonored\DishonoredGame\Config.

  • To disable mipmapping for world-textures (which should be most noticable), find the line TEXTUREGROUP_World=(MinLODSize=256,MaxLODSize=2048,LODBias=0) and replace it with TEXTUREGROUP_World=(MinLODSize=256,MaxLODSize=2048,LODBias=0,NumStreamedMips=0)
  • Similarly, to disable mipmapping for any other texture group, simply append NumStreamedMips=0 inside the parentheses, making sure to add the needed comma(s).

[edit] Stop Bodies from Disappearing

Fix Increase Default Number of Bodies In Areas • Link

  1. Open the configuration file DefaultAI.ini which can be found in the following directory: Steam\steamapps\common\Dishonored\DishonoredGame\Config\

[edit] Issues unresolved

[edit] Knife of Dunwall: Crashing during the third act

The DLC appears to crash a lot for people in the third act, no solution.

Possible solution:

Fix Crash during third act • Link

  1. Go to the end of the act and talk to Billie Lurk.
  2. When Billie Lurk ask you to exit the level...you say "NO".
  3. Save the game.
  4. Go and talk to Billie Lurk again.
  5. Say "Yes" and exit the level.

[edit] Knife of Dunwall: Low resolution textures on butchers

The game is using the low detail textures on butchers instead of the high detail textures.

[edit] Knife of Dunwall: Missing 2D image files

Generic placeholder images are replacing some 2D icons and images in-game.[7]

[edit] Issues fixed

[edit] Screen turns white or very bright randomly during gameplay

Bright screen bug

Fix white/bright screen

  1. Right-click on Dishonored in the Steam client and click Properties.
  2. Uncheck Enable Steam Community In-Game.

[edit] "First time setup" runs every time game is started

Run the following from the command line:

32-bit: reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam\Apps\205100 /v PhysXRedist /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

64-bit: reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Valve\Steam\Apps\205100 /v PhysXRedist /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

[edit] Not remembering settings in offline mode

Fixed in patch 1.2.[8]

[edit] Texture Pop-in When Switching Weapons

  1. Open the DishonoredEngine.ini file, which can be found in the directory %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Games\Dishonored\DishonoredGame\Config
  2. Change the values of both MipFadeInSpeed0 and MipFadeInSpeed1 to 0
Information Please note that unless the high quality texture can be loaded right away by your computer, this can make the texture pop-in even more noticeable, since it only disable the fade that is meant to hide the transition from low to high quality texture.
