 +
{{note| "Transformers_Hi.DAT" Is the file that is required for the 360/ps3 option, if you can't use Hi-Res assets and don't have this file that is why. It can be deleted to save on disk space though be warned you may not be able to get it back.}}
 +
{{--}} Lacks a V-Sync toggle or FPS limiter, which can make the player character unable to climb walls and cause physics and AI problems at excessively high frame rates, camera sensitivity is also tied to the frame rate.
 +
{{--}} Shadows are automatically disabled when using the in-game anti-aliasing. See [[Glossary:Anti-aliasing (AA)#Forcing anti-aliasing|forcing anti-aliasing]].{{note| Forcing certain types of anti-aliasing with shadows on may cause many graphical issues, like transparent objects being visible through your character model and through walls.}}

I used RivaTuner Statistics Server to cap the frame rate. Here are the results:<br>
 +
Capping at 60 FPS = everything works fine.<br>
 +
Capping at 218 FPS or below = can climb normally.<br>
 +
Capping at 219 FPS = climbing extremely slow, but still able to climb.<br>
 +
Capping at 220 FPS or above = unable to climb.<br>
 +
Camera sensitivity is also tied to the frame rate, even when capping below 219 FPS, the camera becomes slow even when it is set to "high" in the options. Mouse sensitivity at 120 FPS cap is playable but is still slower than 60 FPS cap.<br>}}</ref><br>

{{ii}} See the [https://www.rockraidersunited.com/topic/6593-modding-tt-lego-games-beginners-preparationsetup/ beginners setup guide] for instructions on how to configure the game for mod support. This guide was written for extracting files from Lego games by TT Games, but it also works with other [[Engine:Nu2|Nu2-engine]] titles.
 +
{{ii}} Alternatively, watch [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6yL1Xk9vko&t=0s this video guide] which was made specifically for Transformers: The Game.
 +
{{--}} Setting up mods requires extracting the game's .DAT files, which noticeably increases file size, but they do not require putting back together and run fine in their extracted state.

Key points

Includes graphical options from both PlayStation 2/Wii and PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 versions.

[Note 1]

Lacks a V-Sync toggle or FPS limiter, which can make the player character unable to climb walls and cause physics and AI problems at excessively high frame rates, camera sensitivity is also tied to the frame rate.
Shadows are automatically disabled when using the in-game anti-aliasing. See forcing anti-aliasing.[Note 2]

60 FPS and 120+ FPS
The game was designed to played at 30FPS, but is still fully completable at 60 with minor issuses.
Excessively high frame rates (well above 200+ FPS) can make the player character unable to climb walls and cause physics and AI problems, camera sensitivity is also tied to the frame rate (I.E. the higher the FPS, the slower the camera sensitivity).[3]
High dynamic range display (HDR)

Issues unresolved

Black lines in "A Gathering Force"

This level has jarring black lines all over the place in High Detail mode. This is due to one of the High Detail files for the level being broken. It isn't on PS3/360.

Mods

See the beginners setup guide for instructions on how to configure the game for mod support. This guide was written for extracting files from Lego games by TT Games, but it also works with other Nu2-engine titles.
Alternatively, watch this video guide which was made specifically for Transformers: The Game.
Setting up mods requires extracting the game's .DAT files, which noticeably increases file size, but they do not require putting back together and run fine in their extracted state.

Notes

  1. ↑ "Transformers_Hi.DAT" Is the file that is required for the 360/ps3 option, if you can't use Hi-Res assets and don't have this file that is why. It can be deleted to save on disk space though be warned you may not be able to get it back.
  2. ↑ Forcing certain types of anti-aliasing with shadows on may cause many graphical issues, like transparent objects being visible through your character model and through walls.
  3. ↑ SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows 10[1] or Windows 11 and is disabled by default on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 when the KB3086255 update is installed.[2]

    Tested with 300+ FPS uncapped. I used RivaTuner Statistics Server to cap the frame rate. Here are the results:
    Capping at 60 FPS = everything works fine.
    Capping at 218 FPS or below = can climb normally.
    Capping at 219 FPS = climbing extremely slow, but still able to climb.
    Capping at 220 FPS or above = unable to climb.
    Camera sensitivity is also tied to the frame rate, even when capping below 219 FPS, the camera becomes slow even when it is set to "high" in the options. Mouse sensitivity at 120 FPS cap is playable but is still slower than 60 FPS cap.
