By kony
This guide should help you with getting started or continuing to play the game. I try to share everything you might need but walkthrough as finding yourself in the void should be an experience in itself.

Custom resolution
If the game does not recognize your monitor's resolution you may edit it in a text file which is located in ...\The Void\Data\rcfg.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Renderer>
<Width>1920</Width>
<Height>1200</Height>
<Antialiasing>3</Antialiasing>
<Anisotropy>16</Anisotropy>
<TextureQuality>0</TextureQuality>
<LightmapQuality>0</LightmapQuality>
<NoTwoSidedStencil />
<HDR/>
</Renderer>


Simply change the "Width" and "Height" to desired numbers.
Disable head bobbing and increase FOV
If you have such a wish, you might apply this little patch to disable head bobbing and increase FOV from 73 to 83:

Simply put player.bin in .../The Void/data/Scripts/ folder.

Why and how to play the original version instead of a remaster
Steam's English, German and Russian versions of the game are the "remastered" edition, which unfortunately contains much less and more straightforward dialogues. You might want to try to play the original version for multiple reasons.

Why would you want to play the original? You might find answers here:

Here are steps how to change the "remastered" into the original version:

Please note that the Polish Steam version is the original version, no need to change it anyhow!
Easier difficulties
The Void is a challenging game and the difficulty is a part of fun in this game. Nonetheless, if you find yourself struggling too much to the point the game irritates you, some patches making playthrough easier are available.

Last words
Hopefully the above helps you out with setting up the game to your liking. The Void is one of the most original and entertaining games I have played and I wish you have as much fun as I did.

For those that can't find the file, you have to make it. This is reflected in the Readme, which has a different path. Create a text file and rename it rcfg.xml, and put in the lines above.

"rcfg.xml" doesn't exist in the path.

Hmm, I see the zip files to switch game back to Turgor, but I really have no idea what to do with them/where to put them.
