Config Utility Issues
If the config tool fails to launch with a "Can't find Steam" error message, simply restarting Steam should fix that.
If the issue persists or the config tool freezes at one point while gathering system information on your first launch, try the following;
- Locate the JadeEmpireConfig file in the game's Steam directory (usually found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jade Empire)
- Right click, select properties, select compatibility and set it to compatibility mode for Windows Vista SP2.
If this fails to fix the freeze, you must do the following;
- Using notepad, create a blank text file.
- Name it SystemInformation.xml and save it in the data folder inside the Jade Empire folder (usually found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jade Empire\data).
- Copy the Steam.dll file from the base Steam folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam) and paste it into the Jade Empire folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jade Empire - NOT the data folder).
This will effectively bypass the config tool which should allow you to launch the game.
Graphical Tweaks
Increasing FPS
By default, Jade Empire is locked to 30 frames per second. In order to lift this restriction, locate the JadeEmpire.ini
file in the installation directory (if you are uncertain, it's usually the text file below the JadeEmpire file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jade Empire) and set the "clampFPS" value to 0.
Play in a window
Locate the JadeEmpire.ini
file in the installation directory (if you are uncertain, it's usually the text file below the JadeEmpire file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jade Empire) and set the "Windowed" value to 1.
Play in 1920x1080 resolution
The game has no native option for this resolution, but still supports it if you force it. Locate the JadeEmpire.ini
file in the installation directory (if you are uncertain, it's usually the text file below the JadeEmpire file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Jade Empire), then set the "ScrW" value to 1920 and the "ScrH" value to 1080.
