Getting stuck in an invisible wall in a vent

Possible solutions:

Graphical Tweaks

Field of Vision Fix (FOV)

Field of vision is by default set to 40. Most will consider this too low, and can adjust it by using a tool called Widescreen Fixer.

Performance Improvements

Windowed Mode

Running the game in windowed mode has been reported to alleviate certain frame rate issues.

Save Game Data

Folder Location

  • Windows 7 (hidden folder)
    c:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\DarknessII\CONTINUE.SAV

Improvements

Borderless Fullscreen Windowed
