- Mouse sensitivity in menus is bound with sensitivity in game. Because of that, navigating menus may become difficult, if a player sets high mouse sensitivity or has a high DPI mouse. Setting the game to a higher resolution may be able to help mitigate this.[2]

Issues fixed
Game crashes or odd artifacts appear
Bump Mapping Crash[4] |
---|
This is a common problem, especially on ATI/AMD cards. Setting Bump mapping to Low should solve the problem.
You can also start the game with a DirectX-8-to-9 emulator or install a fan made graphics fix to resolve the crashes.

Error with Steam
Steam error[citation needed] |
---|
If you get an error message saying, "Failed to detect Steam", "Problem starting up Steam", or something similar, try restarting Steam. If that does not work, try deleting ClientRegistry.blob in the \Steam folder. If it continues to not function correctly - it may work the first time after running Steam, then fail - then do the following:
|
Stretched HUD fix
Use a fixed HUDTextures.utx[citation needed] |
---|
This will correct the HUD for 16:9 resolutions.
|
3D & EAX Never Sets with Creative/X-fi
Use PAX custom Creative drivers[citation needed] |
---|
In Vista and Win7 (possibly later OS's as well) if the game refuses to set 3D Audio and EAX even with "UseDefaultDriver=False" and a checked OpenAL setup then install the custom "PAX" drivers for X-fi and other Creative audio cards. |
