Game data
Save game cloud syncing
Template:Save Game Cloud Syncing
Video settings
High Resolution Texture Pack
- A PC-specific high resolution texture pack is available for free which requires an additional 4GB space.[4]
Graphics Change
- All graphics changing requires a restart, otherwise visual elements will be missing from the game.[5]
Multiple Graphics Cards
- Appears that SLI and Crossfire are not enabled.[6]
Nvidia Card Performance
The game is optimized for AMD cards, and thus Nvidia cards can post low FPS for the auto detected settings. Setting "Enable Quality Anti-Aliasing" and "Screen Space Ambient Occlusion" to Normal should noticeably improve FPS.
Input settings
Can't Remap To Arrow Keys
- Can be remapped to number pad arrow keys, but not standard arrow keys.[7]
But you can remap your Up, Down, Left and Right arrow keys to work like W,S,A,D and vice versa using the application Autohotkey at http://www.autohotkey.com. After installation, when prompted to create the first script, choose Yes in the dialog box. Then, delete everything from the Notepad file which opens and paste the following: http://pastebin.com/8d5dKTRV. After that, right click on the Autohotkey icon in the notification tray and choose Reload script and you will be able to use the arrow keys to move the player and cars. As a last step, add the Autohotkey application to startup and you are done!

Issues unresolved
'HkShip.exe has stopped working'
Unresolved issue.[9]
EVGA GTX 570 fix. Underclock your GPU to 747MHz using the EVGA precision tool. Game no longer crashes
'Can't choose custom refreshing rate'
When selecting resolution in video options, only pre-made presets are available, user can't choose to change refreshing rate, which often force players to play in windowed mode.
'Can't force game into fullscreen'
The game starts in windowed mode and no matter what you do it just stays in windowed mode. Alt+Enter doesn't work and neither does setting the video option to fullscreen.
POTENTIAL FIX: Close TeamViewer if installed. (Note: The issue with TeamViewer is the "QuickConnect" feature, which puts a little arrow next to the close, minimize, etc. buttons. Go into TeamViewer's advanced settings to disable this, and you can run TeamViewer with Sleeping Dogs in full screen at the same time.
POTENTIAL FIX: Close (or stop) Actual Multiple Monitors if installed.
System requirements
- Windows XP cannot run this game.
