TROUBLESHOOTING
My game doesn't start!
Q: I try to run the game, but it doesn’t start, why?
A: Please make sure you have DirectX 9.0c or later installed. Also make sure you have the latest graphics card drivers and that your system meets the minimum system requirements.
The game runs really slow
Q: The game is running really slow on my system, how can I change this?
A: Try setting your graphics options to low settings. Also note that “Disappearing corpses” (dead monsters will disappear in 30 seconds after their death) improves the performance. Another such option is the “Distortion”, which means the beautiful Heat Distortion effect used with the flamethrower and explosions – Distortion should definitely be deselected on slower machines.
Frames Per Second dropoff
Q: After playing for a while, my fps drops drastically, what can I do to prevent this?
A: This error may occur with certain graphics cards with certain drivers. Try visiting the operating system desktop once by pressing alt-tab (not by exiting the game). Then go back to the game in a similar manner, or click the Shadowgrounds button in the Taskbar. This should fix the poor fps.
Version mismatch
Q: When I start the game it says "Version mismatch"?!
A: This error is due to a copied executable file. If you have bought the game from a store, this error should not happen. Please contact Support for more information.
Co-op game
Q: I can't start a co-op game - how do you do it?
A: To start a co-op gamepad game, follow these steps:
- Check that your gamepads show up in your operating system’s Game Controllers (in Control Panel)
- Launch Shadowgrounds
- Go to Profiles and create a new player profile for each gamepad/player, or modify an existing profile.
- Select one of the newly created profiles and go to Options menu.
- Set up the button configuration and the X and Y axis (for aiming, usually mapped to the right analog stick).
- Repeat the process for each player participating in the game
- When all players have configured their gamepads and/or keyboard+mouse, select New Game (or Load Game if you have a previously saved Co-op game).
- Select Co-Operative, then the difficulty level, and press Start.
- That's it! Have fun!
