Zombie torsos disappearing[edit]

  • On some configurations, a common problem are enemy torsos disappearing in many moments of the game - this makes playing House of the Dead: Overkill extremely difficult. This issue seems to be mostly related to GCN-based AMD Radeon graphics cards and can often be solved by reverting to Catalyst 13.12.[4]

Fix Install WineD3D[5]

Other solution to a problem may be using Wine3D.

  1. Download WineD3D and extract it.
  2. Select files d3d9.dll, libwine.dll, wined3d.dll and copy them.
  3. Go to the installation folder and paste the files in there.

Notes

Disadvantage WineD3D may cause problems with Steam Overlay and result in worse performance.
