Tips and Tricks

Defining custom resolutions

It is possible to define custom resolutions by editing <path to game>\Risen 3\data\ini\ConfigDefault.xml and searching for Resolutions. It is advised to include your native resolution. In the example below you can see native 16:9 and 16:9 at 15 MP resolutions being used.

      <Resolutions Test2="1920x1080xWindow" Test1="5162x2904xWindow">
      </Resolutions>

Pressing Ctrl + F2 while debug mode is enabled will cycle to the next resolution, in this instance - back and forth. Custom aspect ratios are supported.

Tip

In some instances you will be required to use SRWE after swapping to a higher resolution because the game's window may appear stretched too far in one direction. Do note that capturing a stretched window with ReShade or Afterburner will output a perfectly viewable image with the correct resolution and aspect ratio.

Remapping debug controls

Debug controls can be remapped or deleted by editing <path to game>\Risen 3\data\ini\ConfigDefault.xml and searching for DebugKeys.

Tip

Visual enhancement mods may overwrite ConfigDefault.xml so save your own tweaks for the last.

Start the game in windowed mode

Navigate to %localappdata%\risen3\config\ConfigUser.xml and edit FullScreen="True" to FullScreen="False".
