Issues fixed[edit]

Crash at game launch[edit]

Fix Launch game elevated[3]

  1. Go to <path-to-game>\Build, right-click on WL2.exe and select Properties
  2. Open the Compatibility tab select and enable "Run this program as an administrator".
  3. Click OK twice to save the settings and close the windows.

Notes

Information If the game still doesn't start, repeat this, but additionally change other compatibility settings (e.g. "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" or "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings")

Fix Nvidia Optimus[3]

  1. Open the Nvidia Control Panel, which can be found as a tray icon on the taskbar, in the Control Panel, or by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting it.
  2. Go to Manage 3D settings, open the Program Settings tab, click on Add and either select WL2.exe in the window or click on Browse... and browse to the WL2.exe file (located in <path-to-game>\Build).
  3. In the dropdown menu below, select "High-performance NVIDIA processor".
  4. Click on Apply on the lower right corner to save the settings
Information The developer also recommends to disable video capturing software like Fraps or Bandicam.

Saves not showing up[edit]

Information There is currently a bug where none of the saves show up if even one of them is missing (specifically missing the .xml file or possibly having an empty .xml file).

Fix Delete missing save files[4]

  1. Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Wasteland2\Save Games
  2. Double click on all saved installation folders until you find one that has no data in it. It's specifically looking for a .xml file.
  3. Delete that specific folder (or folders), the one with the missing save game files
  4. Restart Wasteland 2 and your other saved games will re-appear.

Unable to choose resolution in windowed mode[edit]

Fix Change resolution in registry (Windows)

  1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\inXile\Wasteland2\
  2. Change registry key Resolution_hXXXXXXXXXX to desired resolution. (e.g. 1920x1080)
  3. Change registry key Screenmanager Resolution Height_hXXXXXXXXXX to desired height. (e.g. 1080) (Note: Make sure to select decimal numbers).
  4. Change registry key Screenmanager Resolution Width_hXXXXXXXXXX to desired width. (e.g. 1920) (Note: Make sure to select decimal numbers).
