Low frame rate
Very slow in-game mouse-movement
- Negative mouse acceleration is forced in-game and can't be disabled. It gets significantly worse the higher your mouse polling rate is high or DPI is low. It can cause very slow mouse-movement in-game, making it hard to accurately aim with your weapon.[15]
Use SilentPatch and set camera speed multiplier[16]
|
- Install SilentPatch.
- Set
CameraSpeedMultiplier value (create this value if they don't exist yet) in <path-to-game>\settings.ini to the desired float value.[16].
|
Workaround: Lower the mouse's polling rate through hardware or software options to a lower value like 125hz[18]
|
- Option not available for all mice.
|
Workaround: Set mouse DPI very high to a value like 12000 through hardware or software options[19]
|
- Option not available for all mice.
|
Run the game at screen refresh rate
- The game defaults to a 60 Hz refresh rate. Enforcing a 60 FPS cap is still recommended.
Override refresh rate set by game[20]
|
- Download and extract dgVoodoo 2.
- Copy
D3D9.dll from the MS\x86\ folder to the game folder.
- Run dgVoodoo, and add the game folder to the list.
- Enable the Enumerate refresh rates option.
- Go to the DirectX tab, and set the desired resolution (e.g. 1920x1080, 119Hz).
- (Optional) Disable the dgVoodoo Watermark option to prevent the dgVoodoo logo from showing on game launch.
- Click OK to apply changes.

- Fixes gamepad support and very slow in-game mouse-movement, while adding several optional features like windowed mode, modern gamepad control scheme, FPS limit and skippable intro videos.
Install Fusion Fix[5]
|
- Install SilentPatch (includes ASI Loader this mod depends on).
- Download and extract the Scarface Fusion Fix archive to
<path-to-game> .
d3d9.dll and d3d9.ini are optional as they are part of a d3d9 wrapper, which only allows to set an FPS limit, show performance metrics and allow for windowed and borderless windowed modes in d3d9.ini . All other files are responsible for the other fixes and should always be extracted.
|
