Issues fixed

Game fails to start after launcher

This can be caused by the MS13-057/KB2803821 update; reinstall the update to resolve the issue.[1]
Reinstall KB2803821[1]
  1. Open Programs and Features:
    • Vista and later: Open the Start screen/Start menu, type appwiz.cpl and press ↵ Enter.
    • Windows XP: Press ⊞ Win+R, type appwiz.cpl and press ↵ Enter.
  2. View the installed updates:
    • Vista and later: choose View installed updates.
    • Windows XP: choose Show updates.
  3. Locate KB2803821 and remove it.
  4. Run Windows Update and install the update again to get a newer version that does not have this problem.

Alternate solution for high core CPUs

Lost Planet 2 does not support more than 6 cores. Disabling cores will allow the game run normally.

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz on startup, even if it's been changed on the previous launch.
Set screen refresh rate[citation needed]
  1. Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide.
  2. Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
  3. Open <path-to-game>\dxgi.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\LP2DX11.exe\SpecialK.ini depending on the installation method you used.
    • DirectX 9 version uses <path-to-game>\d3d9.ini or \LP2DX9.exe\SpecialK.ini.

Notes

  1. ↑ Games for Windows - LIVE DRM features: SSA+ZDPP activation, supports local profiles.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/45750/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (45750) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
