Widescreen resolution
- Widescreen fix is required for Extraction Point only (Steam and GOG versions).
Set custom resolution for Extraction Point[6] |

|
4K Ultra HD
- In-game FSAA setting must be set to Off before enabling 4K resolution, otherwise you will be stuck in a black screen. If this happens, reset resolution via
settings.cfg
. If you need AA at 4K, see Anti-aliasing (AA). - F.E.A.R maintains 1:1 HUD scaling at all resolutions (i.e. there is no HUD scaling). This has the benefit of keeping HUD elements sharp, but they also may become very small on high-density monitors, such as 4K monitors sized below 30". Use this fix corresponding to your chosen resolution to increase the HUD size.
Field of view (FOV)
- This game uses vertical FOV. See FOV Calculator for help.

- FSAA is unavailable in windowed mode. See Anti-aliasing (AA) for an alternative.

Borderless fullscreen windowed
- FSAA is unavailable in windowed mode. See Anti-aliasing (AA) for an alternative.
- If this method doesn't work or causes issues, you can try Borderless fullscreen mode.

Anti-aliasing (AA)
- The Soft Shadows option will have no effect if the FSAA option is enabled.
MSAA solution (Nvidia only)[8] |

Notes |
High framerate
- The game struggles to go above 60 FPS by default.
- Even with the following fix, framerates above ~200 FPS causes stuttering and lighting problems. Cap the framerate with a tool such as Rivatuner to prevent this.
- Cannot be used with ReShade at the same time. (

Issues unresolved
Long save times
When playing the game, exiting and launching it again without logging out of Windows, saving can take very long. To work around that, log out and back into the Windows profile (or restart the computer) before re-launching the game.[11]
Issues fixed
- TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found here.
Game crashes when loading a map in LAN as a Listen server
Host the game as a dedicated server and then join with the FEAR Combat client.[12] |
---|
Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2 and disable fullscreen optimizations/display scaling on high DPI settings[citation needed] |
---|
"Disconnected from server" when playing singleplayer
Method 1: Apply the 4 GB patch[citation needed] |
---|
Method 2: If the game shows this error when loading a level, set texture resolution to Medium[citation needed] |
---|
Slow level loading
- Occurs only on Windows Vista and 7, because of the special graphic stack WDDM.[13]
Apply the 4 GB patch[citation needed] |
---|
Disable Windows Aero[14] |
---|
Low frame rate
- Frame rate may drop to around 20-30 FPS after a few minutes of play. This is especially common with Logitech devices.
See High framerate |
---|
Black screen on ATI/AMD graphics cards
Disable Soft Shadows and Pixel Doubling in the game's settings[citation needed] |
---|
Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3[citation needed] |
---|
Install RuntimePack.[citation needed] |
---|
Flickering textures on modern systems
Use dgVoodoo2 wrapper |
---|
|
- (nVidia only) Enhancing the in-game AA to SGSSAA may solve this issue as well. (further testing is required)[15]
Broken shadow rendering on Nvidia graphics
Fix shadow corruption[16] |
---|
|
Soft shadows do not work combined with FSAA
- This is due to the features of the engine and the artificial limitation of the simultaneous use of anti-aliasing with soft shadows, since they can cause graphic artifacts on the shadows.
See Anti-aliasing (AA) for alternative AA solution[8] |
---|
Screen shaking, broken physics
- This is most likely related to issues with high frame rate
Limit the frame rate to 60 FPS[17][18][19][20] |
---|
|
Turn off FSAA[citation needed] |
---|
No dialogue playing
Enable/install Windows Media Player[citation needed] |
---|
|
Missing radio voices when using hardware audio mixing
- Some Localized versions have this problem for all games. The English version does not suffer from this issue, except for the Extraction Point expansion.
Install an unofficial fix |
---|
|
No gunshot sound
Install Creative Alchemy[citation needed] |
---|
|
Key mappings are not assigned
Run the game as administrator |

Official SDK
- The Steam version includes the SDK with the game.[21] Make sure you read instructions
DevMode
DevMode gives the ability to use the debug keys in order to trigger commands like hide HUD, stop time, and fast forward and to load any map, including a few demo levels.
F.E.A.R: AI Upscaled Textures Mod
- Too unstable on the Retail version (frequent crashes and geometry disappears when hitting a checkpoint).
- AI upscaled texture pack that has been processed to aim for stability and upgrading textures that practically improve visual quality.
- The installer no longer features a basic install option, but rather includes a separate Lite version of the files to use to overwrite over a full installation for stability.
- Supports Extraction Point expansion.
- Does not support Perseus Mandate expansion.
- Completely replaces some textures with new ones.
Persistent decals
Makes blood, bullet holes etc. permanent.
Use Rivarez Mod[22] |
