You’ll find a bunch of dll files related to Nvidia’s PhysX in the game’s directory.
Feel free to raise values like shadow resolution further than what is shown here, just keep in mind that doing things like that might make the game less stable. The guide will improve the game’s graphics here and there too but keep in mind that most of those settings will be fairly conservative since the emphasis is on fixing stuff. On top of that there are a few other tweaks that are necessary for ensuring good baseline performance and to fix the game from crashing frequently so I’ll cover those too.
By doing this you can fix most issues (except for some gameplay related bugs) so the goal of this guide is to help you through that. Thankfully the game is running on Unreal Engine 3 and the port is lazy enough that the devs didn’t stop people from tweaking basically all the settings you can find in the.
You’ll encounter most issues people usually think of when hearing the expression 'bad port': crashes, serious stuttering issues, bad frame pacing, optimization problems. The PC port of Alice: Madness Returns is quite frankly terrible.
