Version differences

Essential improvements

Make sure to use Creative ALchemy for the highest quality sound playback.
Replace music tracks with higher quality Xbox music tracks[3]

Remapping

If played on Steam, if Steam Input is on, the default controller mapping has mixed-up buttons and incorrectly mapped camera & triggers.
Change keybinds[3]
  1. Open binds_pc.cfg with a text editor.
  2. Keyboard controls are the top of the file. Controller controls are the lower three sections of the file.

Mouse sensitivity

This is to fix the insane mouse sensitivity to which there is no menu option to change it.
Mouse sensitivity[3]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\engine.
  2. Open vars_pc.cfg with a text editor.
  3. Change mousespeed=0.50000 (found roughly half way down) to a desired value. 0.2 and 0.15 work well.
  4. Save the file (if does not work - that may mean that launcher overrides the file, mark the file as "read-only" in properties and launch the game using GettingUp.exe (inside <path-to-game>/_Bin/).

Notes

  1. SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows 10[1] or Windows 11 and is disabled by default on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 when the KB3086255 update is installed.[2]
  2. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  3. 3.0 3.1 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>/260190/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (260190) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
