Issues and Fixes

- Select “Let the application decide” in the global settings
- You should no longer encounter The Darkness 2 yellow screen problems.
Crashes right after pressing the ‘Play’ button
In Windows 7 go the The Darkness 2 installation folder, right-click the The Darkness 2 exe file, go to the ‘Compatibility Mode’ tab and check ‘Disable Desktop Composition.’ Then try running The Darkness 2 once more.
“Could not load image”
Go to the The Darkness 2 installation folder and look for the The Darkness 2 .exe file and run it directly from there, rather than using the shortcut or client link.
Getting stuck in an invisible wall in a vent
Possible solutions:
- Capping to 60FPS: Thread on Steam forums
- Verifying game cache: Thread on Steam forums
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.
