Input settings[edit]
- If controller is present when game is started it's required to play the game. Unplugging brings popup window asking to reconnect controller. However simply unplugging controller before starting the game and unchecking controller option from controls settings makes it possible to play with mouse and keyboard even if controller is connected.

Issues unresolved[edit]

Start-up crash[edit]
Open Regedit to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NeoCore Games\Van Helsing\Options and change MeasuredHardwarePerformance to 0.
- One issue is caused by the game launching at a resolution unsupported by the system. As of this entry, there appears to be no means to externally modify the video settings.
