Key points

General information

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct Website
Steam Community Discussions

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is a singleplayer first-person shooter, action, survival horror, stealth and exploration game in the The Walking Dead series.

The game would release on all current generation platforms at the time to generally unfavorable reviews due to the sluggish controls, rushed plot, and dated graphics; with one reviewer comparing the visual quality to 2005's Call of Duty 2.[2]

At launch, when changing various video settings, the game would crash upon saving and relaunch back to default.[3]

According to SteamDB, the Steam/PC version would become delisted on March 10th, 2016, after a steep discount ($9.99 USD,) and only nearly reaching it's third year of release. This was probably due in part of Activision losing the property's license and the poor reception. The game would be delisted from the Playstation and Xbox soon after.[4]

Issues fixed

No voice audio

Change language to fix audio[7]
  1. From the Steam Library, select The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct.
  2. Right Click it and choose Properties, and then go to the language tab, and change the language.

Run the game at screen refresh rate

The game may automatically set monitor refresh rate to 60 Hz; this can result in reduced smoothness on a high refresh rate monitor even if GPU render shows a high FPS count.
If Vsync limits refresh rate to 60 fps on a high refresh rate monitor, this is a sign this issue is occurring.
Set display refresh rate[citation needed]
  1. Download Special K.
  2. Copy SpecialK32.dll to the installation folder.
  3. Rename SpecialK32.dll to d3d9.dll.
  4. Start the game and exit.
  5. Open d3d9.ini in the installation folder.
  6. Change RefreshRate=-1 to RefreshRate=0 under [Render.FrameRate].

Notes

If your monitor has a manual refresh rate toggle button, you can use that to set a higher refresh rate instead of using a custom .dll.
