Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is a game ported from iOS. Reports indicate controls feeling imprecise, likely to be the result of the porting process from iPad.[1][2]

Template:Infobox

Availability

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP has been released on Windows, Mac and iOS. Some would consider the iPad version of the game to be definitive.

Windows

The config and log file are located:

Windows 7: C:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\[user_id]\204060\local

Issues And Fixes

Crash On Startup

Open the config.txt file. Enable this change:

"ENABLE_MIPMAPPING = false"

This has reportedly worked for some users, but not for everyone.[3]

Change Resolution

Open the config.txt file. Change resolution by editing these lines:

SCREEN_WIDTH
SCREEN_HEIGHT

Changing to a high resolution such as 2560x1600 or 2560x1440 is not supported, and forcing this will kick the resolution back to 800x600.[4]

Fullscreen Or Windowed Mode

Open the config.txt file. Change to windowed by editing this line:

FULLSCREEN 

Vertical Sync (Vsync)

Open the config.txt file. Enable Vsync be editing this line:

ENABLE_VSYNC

Unresolved Issues

Alt Tab Causes Twitter Login Fail

Alt tabbing appears to cause loaded tweets to fail.[5]

Non-US Keyboard

Appears to be treating all international keyboards as US keyboards.[6]

Black Backgrounds & Other Missing Graphics/Videos

May or may not be related to ATI Cards but the game does not display background graphics or intro video.[7] The log lists various information, for example:

Couldn't find scenes/common/messagebox/positions.pnt
  • Verifying steam download results in it attempting to fix but does nothing.
  • Completely reinstalling after deleting local content does not fix.
  • Latest video drivers does not fix.

Some users have had success fixing this by disabling the Catalyst A.I. in the AMD Control Center.[8]

Mac

The config and log file are located:

~/Library/Application Support/Steam/userdata/[user_id]/204060/local

Keyboard Controls

Instead of using the mousewheel to zoom in and out, you can use the + and = keys on your keyboard. Instead of clicking on the shield and sword icons to use them, you can use the Z and X, or . and /, keys on your keyboard. You can pan the camera around using the arrow keys.

Soundtrack

The Steam version comes with the games soundtrack in MP3 format (FLAC and others available here). This can be access by going to:

Windows 32-bit:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\superbrothers sword & sworcery ep\soundtrack

Windows 64-bit:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\superbrothers sword & sworcery ep\soundtrack
