Field of view (FOV)

This game uses vertical FOV. See FOV Calculator for help.

Set custom FOV^[1]
Go to `<path-to-game>`. Edit or create `autoexec.cfg` with Notepad. Add `"FovY" "XX"` on a new line, where XX is the desired vertical FOV.

Borderless fullscreen windowed

FSAA is unavailable in windowed mode.

If this method doesn't work or causes issues, you can try Borderless fullscreen mode.

Set borderless fullscreen windowed mode^[2]
Ensure the game's resolution matches your desktop resolution: Launch the game. Go to the game's Options > Display > Resolution and change it accordingly. Close the game. Go to the game's directory and create a file named `autoexec.cfg` with a text editor. Add `"Windowed" "2"` on a new line.

Issues fixed

Slow loading level and aero disabling

Occurs only on Windows Vista and Windows 7, because of the special graphic stack WDDM.

Install game only on Windows XP, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10^[4]^[1]

Notes

Using Windows 8.1 or 10 significantly reduces the launch time of the level, perhaps this is due to improvements in the WDDM graphics stack.^[5]

Control key settings are not assigned

Keyboard settings reset to unassigned when restarting the game.

Run game as administrator^[1]

Soft Shadows not working

Soft Shadows not working despite the setting being enabled.

Disable anti-aliasing in the game options^[1]

Notes

This is due to the features of the engine and the artificial limitation of the simultaneous use of anti-aliasing with soft shadows, since they can cause graphic artifacts on the shadows.
