Issues fixed
Failed to start game (app already running) error
- There is no universal fix, however these are confirmed to work for some users.
Delete appcache folder[3] |
---|
|
Set Steam language to the same language as the game[4] |
---|
If that does not work, try changing also operating system language[5] |
---|
Failed to start game (Russian release does not work when English language is selected)
- This solution is probably applicable to other non-English releases.
- The game crashes to desktop after trademark screen, shows one of the error messages from previous issues.
Copy INT subfolders from Russian version into international version[6] |
---|
|
Blue screen on AMD CPU
- There seems to be a problem with game running on AMD FX processors where game crashes to BSOD or freezes the system. The issue is similar to Borderlands 2 BSOD and fix also works with Aliens: Colonial Marines.
Update BIOS[7] |
---|
|
No textures
- Forcing anti-aliasing via drivers on Nvidia GeForce cards will result in missing textures and black game scene.
Disable anti-aliasing in graphics adapter[8] |
---|
Game Freezes / Crashes during Session
- Due a memory restriction (x86 build), the game is limited to work with a maximum of 2 GB of VRAM. Try either:
Lower VRAM-intensive graphics settings such as resolution[9] |
---|
Play in Full Window mode instead of Fullscreen[9] |
---|
GPU detection fix
- The game has problems with detecting some graphic adapters - mainly mobile GPUs and new graphics. Because of this, game can select wrong settings profile for the system.
1. Checking GPU detection[10] |
---|
|
2. Adding the GPU to the hardware list[10] |
---|
[000X.XX] Log: GPU stats: [000X.XX] Log: DeviceID: 00001244 [000X.XX] Log: DeviceName: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti will result in [000X.XX] Log: GPU stats: [000X.XX] Log: VendorID: 00001002 [000X.XX] Log: DeviceID: 00006738 [000X.XX] Log: DriverVersion: 8.17.10.1169 [000X.XX] Log: DeviceName: AMD Radeon HD 6800 Serieswill result in 0x6738=5,AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series |
3. Additional graphic enhancements for high-end hardware[10] |
---|
|
No weapon
Switch between weapons[11] |
---|
Unresponsive controls
- Problem with controls where in-game camera is always rotating and in menu cursor is always moving down. Demonstrated here.
Unplug all USB game controllers, alternatively disable them in Device manager[12] |
---|
.ini edit[12] |
---|
|
Crash upon starting the "Stasis Interrupted" DLC
- The game can freeze during the first cutscene on some systems.
Disable SSAO and lower the graphics settings[13] |
