Issues Unresolved

Missing Film Grain

There are missing visual effects in the PC port, including the Noise Grain and other effects present on X360/PS3.

Can't turn off aim assist

Despite there being an option in the settings to disable aim assist, it seems to have no effect whatsoever.

Issues fixed

The game tries to connect to a dead domain[4]
  1. Go to %WINDIR%\System32\drivers\etc.
  2. Open the hosts file in a text editor running as administrator.
  3. Add 127.0.0.1 kl2-pc-game-content.eidos.co.uk to the bottom of the file.
  4. Save and close the file.
Disable any anti-cheat tools and User Account Control
OpenAL fix
  1. Download an OpenAL fix or find the default two dll files (openAL.dll and wrap_oal.dll) from %WINDIR%\system32 and paste them into <path-to-game>

Secondary screens are blacked out

The game uses a second window, making other screens appear black.
Remove black window with DxWnd[2]

See Windowed for instructions.

Story Mode 42% crashes

Game crashes in story mode on any chapter on any difficulty at exactly 42%.
