Issues fixed
Black boxes on flaming arrows
- This issue is most likely caused by incompatibility with certain graphics cards. It can be avoided by lowering the graphics detail slider in the game's options.[citation needed]
Bladestaff alt-fire crash
- Most recent game patches should have addressed this issue. If still experiencing this with Nvidia SLI setup, try following fix.
| Nvidia Control Panel[citation needed] |
|---|
|
"Failed To Correctly Load Data Files", "Failed To Initialise Engine"
- Most recent game patches should have addressed this issue.
| Make sure the minimum requirements are met[citation needed] |
|---|
| Verify game cache with Steam[citation needed] |
|---|
| Reinstall game[citation needed] |
|---|
Install DirectX and Visual C++ runtimes in <path-to-game>\Installer as administrator and reboot the system.[citation needed]
|
|---|
"ERROR: Failed to load 'shaders\FixedFunctionShaders\ShaderLib'. Engine will not run."
- This error can occur if the game is not installed on the C drive.
| Move or install the game on the C drive to resolve this issue.[6] |
|---|
Missing Knight of the Order DLC
This issue is most likely to occur with pre-ordered versions of the game, and results in the Knight of the Order DLC not appearing in game.
| Delete vdf file to force re-creating[citation needed] |
|---|
This file will then automatically be recreated and the DLC should appear in-game. |
Object/unit placement glitch
- This issue involves incorrect positioning of many character models and equipment. Orcs may appear stuck in the ground and their heads will be colliding with the floor mesh.
- This issue may occur if a machine is below the minimum requirements to run the game, especially those with single-core processors, as the game is optimized to distribute animation-related processes to a second core.
- If a computer has two or more processor cores but is still encountering this issue, ensure that the
OrcsMustDie.exeprocess has core affinity set to at least two cores.

Middleware
Customize orc content of existing levels
Orcs Must Die! has a limited capacity for modding; the developers implemented the ability to be able to customise the content of orc waves for existing levels. To do this, go to <path-to-game>\Data\. From here you will need to create a new folder called 'mod', and another folder within it named 'onslaughts'.
By editing the default onslaught files (downloadable here) and putting them in this folder, you can use your custom levels essentially as an override so that the game will load your levels. Note that you should not rename levels when editing them as the game will no longer recognise them. Also of importance is the fact that using these overrides disables leaderboard scoring and statistics for as long as you are using the modified onslaughts. To return the game to its original state after modification, simply delete the contents of the onslaughts folder.
