Issues fixed
"Two Worlds II has stopped working" crash at launch
| Install the NVIDIA PhysX System Software[citation needed] |
|---|
Interface elements go beyond the screen edges
- Some TVs and other non-standard displays will not show the entire image so UI elements may get cut off. Two Worlds II has a built-in feature to counter this.
- If possible disable the cropping behaviour in the display's own settings first (see Overscan for details).
| Use safe area in interface[citation needed] |
|---|
|
Fix view distance LOD bug in v2.0+
- In the 2.0+ versions of the game there's a bug with the LOD on higher view distances. It's noticeable on the mountains in the Savannah and near the ocean. This can be fixed by increasing the margin for when adjacent level cells get loaded.
- This fix can cause crashes in the Shattered Embrace DLC. Simply remove the lines or rename/delete the
AutoexecGame2.confile if you experience this.
| Increase the loadlevelmargin |

|
Unable to use Keyboard and Mouse
- If there is a joystick/gamepad plugged in, the game switches to using that. To prevent this from happening (disable joystick):
