Issues fixed
Low frame rate
- Two particular video options, anti-aliasing (known as "smoothing" in-game) and ambient occlusion, drastically decrease frame rate with very little visual improvement. Turning these settings off is recommended. See the PCGamingWiki Port Report.
Vertical camera movement only with mouse
Disconnect controller[5] |
---|
|
Crash during startup
Disconnect any gamepads and then start the game[6] |
---|
Freeze/lag every now and then
- A possible solution can be found at the official Amnesia A.M.F.P Troubleshooting Guide.[7]
Edit main settings[citation needed] |

|
Light halos showing through walls
Start in offline mode[8] |

|
Adjusting in-game gamma does nothing
Disable gamma changing programs such as f.lux[citation needed] |
---|
Gamma changes persist after exiting the game
- If the in-game gamma setting is increased, it can sometimes alter the desktop's gamma even after the game is closed.
Use f.lux to restore gamma[citation needed] |

Notes
|
Strong blue haze
- The game has slight blue fog effect that is very apparent in the first level. This is intentional,[10] but this effect can be undesirably strong on some screens.
Edit save files[11] |
---|
|
Edit shader files[12] |
---|
An alternative to the save game method is to edit the shader files. This has the advantage of being a permanent solution (instead of per-save), and it also allows you to reduce (or increase!) the effect by an arbitrary factor.
