Fix: Beyond Good & Evil Sync Issues and Flickering Textures


Recommended Posts

My specs:

2.26Ghz Core 2 Duo

9800m GTS

4GB Ram

Windows Vista x64 Ultimate

------------------------------

Fix for the sync problems:

- Launch the game, then immediately switch back to the windows desktop by pressing "Alt+Tab"

- Right click BGE.exe then select "Set Affinity"

- Uncheck everything except one (example: leave CPU 1 checked)

- Download this nifty app that stops BG&E from running too fast: http://theunusualsuspect.com/software/process

- Before running BG&E, you must always run this app and make sure you start it.

- For the safety of your PC, make sure you shutdown "process.exe" after you finish playing BG&E as stated on the site.

------------------------------

Fix for flashing textures:

Go into your Steam > steamapps > common > beyond good and evil > SettingsApplication.exe

On the tab you start out in "Graphics Settings", you can mess with your resolution, I have mine at 1440x900. Jump to the "Advanced Settings" tab and you can jack up water detail, antialiasing, flare, and shadows quality as high as you want. I had to lower antialiasing just a bit to keep my FPS up.

Now on the right click on the "manual compatibility" checkbox. Everything except W Buffer should be checkmarked. Now, all you need to do is uncheck "HW Vertex Processing".

HW Vertex Processing is the option I found that causes all of the artifacting and shifty eyes.

Fix for Slaughter House Factory Key Crash:

Here is an updated fix for the crashing problem in the 2 green key room in Slaughterhouse.

http://www.terrygoodkind.net/~rahly/BGAEFix.exe

1:Use the 'Fix' option on your bad save to give yourself 2 keys

2:Complete this section by getting your picture(you can't come back here) make sure you give the extra key to HH.

3: Save in the robot room again ( you now have your pic).

4: Then quit the game and choose 'Swap' on your savegame.

This will teleport your save to the other side of the Trolley.

5:Load it up, and save straight away to completely fix your save game.

Hopefully, the game will run without any hitches like it has on my system.

:p I know the game is fairly old but I like to post something so it will be found in Neowin's archives and/or anyone searching through Google (since Neowin always shows up in the first or second page of results).

I'll add your suggestion to my main post. Thanks.
