Input Settings

Controller Support

Note that instructional tooltips remain as if using a keyboard and mouse when using the controller.

• PsychoPad v1.0b can be used to add Xbox 360 controller menus and tooltips to game. Requires v1.05 patch.

Xbox 360 Controller Recommended

Whilst the game does support keyboard and mouse input the experience is clunky and awkward. Using a controller is recommended to enjoy the game to the fullest.

Other Controllers

You can also use Xpadder to use any other type of PC controller.

Issues And Fixes

Changing Swing Direction

When swinging from a bar the 'F' key is used to change swing direction (Y on the controller).

Thermometer Bar in Wrong Location

When using widescreen resolutions, occasionally the 'thermometer' bar for pyrokinesis will be displayed at the outer-edge of the screen rather than near the targeted object/creature. There are no known fixes to this bug.

Graphics Error Preventing Startup

Error: "The game was unable to find a 32bpp display mode supported by your system in which to run. Your video card and monitor must minimally support 640x480x32bpp."

Solution: Create a file called "DisplaySettings.ini" in the game directory. Populate it with the following:

[DisplaySettings]
ScreenWidth=1080
ScreenHeight=1920
FullScreen=true
VSync=true
FSAA=true
FSFX=true
AdvancedShading=true
Shadows=true
GammaCorrection=1.000000"

ScreenWidth and ScreenHeight are your desired resolution.
