Template:Infobox Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, released in 1997, is the first game in the Oddworld series. A direct sequel, Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, was released in 1998.

Graphics Tweaks

Higher Resolutions

Natively Abe's Oddysee only supports the 640x480 resolution. A custom DirectDraw hack has been created by a user on the Steam forums in order to run at higher resolutions. To use the DDhack, download it from mediafire here. Extract the .zip file and transfer the contents to your Abe's Oddysee directory. For the Steam version of the game, the directory can be found here by default:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\oddworld abes oddysee

Now launch the game and it will run at your current desktop resolution.

It has also been reported that this DDhack solves graphical glitches some users may experience when running the game.

Note: This fix only works on Windows Vista and Windows 7. It will not run on Windows XP or earlier.
