Intro











This remaster is a mess. Most of the options menu doesn't do anything, crashes the game, or refuses to aknowledge any save state.

So, you'll have to the job yourself. Here's a quick guide to help you get the working. Unless you're crashing every 10seconds (like me); which means you're just sh** out of luck until they patch this game.
How to
All good, i found the config in C:\Users\"Username"\AppData\Roaming\kaiko\rfg

Bring up search bar. Type "%appdata%", click on the "kaiko", through "rfg", and into "config".

In [graphics], you'll see this:

current_width=2560
current_height=1440
rr_num=165000
rr_den=1000
monitor=0
window_mode=2
vsync_enabled=false
camera_fov=85
shadow_lod=3
aa_lod=0
particle_lod=3
soft_shadows=true
bloom_enabled=true
motion_blur_enabled=true
depth_of_field_enabled=true
distortion_enabled=true
ssao_enabled=true
sun_shafts_enabled=true
texture_resolution=0
anisotropic_filtering=3
performance_mode=0
..............................

To change resolution, change "current_width" & "current_height" to whatever you please.

To change FOV, change "camera_fov" to whatever you want (up to 85).

To change FPS, change "monitor=0"; and change the 0 to whatever your monitor supports (30,60, 120, 144).

Then save, make the docu 'read only', so the game cannot edit that file, and quit out. That should do it.

You can follow and see the rest of my guides here

Disclaimer
This fix does not seem to be able to stop the game crashing, which happends frequently. This is a just a hotfix for the resolution and FOV bugs. Hopefully the devs can fix both quikly.

is this for potatos? AMD Athalons and Pentium 4s?

Wonder if some of these issues were fixed recently? There was an update to sw_api.dll (2.8MB) in Feb 2023.

Either old issues or a PC issue. Game is running on 4k 144 fps with no stutters, and max fov. All just from in game settings.

it should be fine to run it at 1920-1080, there is no need to run it at 4k

Unfortunatly this doesn't seem to work on the original version of the game (where all my mods are) as the kaiko folder is missing. I couldn't locate the config file but I did find the readme. It has a bug list, hotkey list, and list of numbers to call for tech support. I miss back in the day when game designers were this professional.

Also, setting Monitor to a number, 60 or 75 or 144 will change the refresh rate. Based on your monitor.

May want to add "read only", so RFG does not overwrite if vid options are changed.
