Thanks for the reply, I didn't realize we could pass saves. It's too late this time, deleted it when I had no luck. It was game breaking so I started over.

Wow, completely new game and it happened again. Game breaker unless there is some way to call Ava with command or hack. I've got a save file this time. ;)

Can't believe I'm going to say/do this but think I'll try it without the pack or unless you see something.
Thanks for any tips
Edit: The only other real issue I'm having is sometimes the weapons just won't fire.

Thanks - I'll have a look but I'm on vacation so it may be a while.
If you do try it without the VU, of course try to replicate the previous attempts and if it works, upload another save at the same place, for comparison.

Weird. Never had or heard of that issue.
Better post your Windows version and what version of the game you have (Steam/GOG etc).

Just tried this, works and looks great! Well done, snobel! :thumb:
Does anyone know how to rebind the Quickload key to F11 tho? F12 is for taking screenshots in Steam, and I like doing that, so I feel like I'm bound to end up loosing progress at some point because I wanted to snap a picture instead of just loading.
Default.ini in the System folder has 2 lines for "F12__d=QuickLoad", but moving those to F11 did nothing. :erg:

The keybinds in Default.ini are for when first writing out your Options.ini file, in the game's folder in Documents. So that's the one to change. Except in this case there's apparently no effect. :( You can set "F11=QuickLoad", which will work, but setting "F12=None" will not - it's changed back by the game and even if you prevent that (by denying write permissions on the file, making it read-only is not enough), F12 is still hard-wired to quickload.

Win 7, Steam and Visual Upgrade, all downloaded this week. The only major thing I did was edit the DX2Menu.ini to be a trainer of commands and skipped most of the side quests. I finished the second run as quick as possible.
Here's a screenshot I posted in the Steam forums if it's helpful. (

henke you could try changing it in both files, then 'Read Only' lock them.
Edit: Anyone know if it's possible to set the volume and be saved on the main menu, before loading a save? It's extremely loud.

Thanks for the insight and suggestions snobel and Acleacius. Yeah I changed both Options.ini and user.ini files, set them to read-only, but no go. F11 does get bound to quickload, but F12 does not get unbound. :erg:
btw I should mention I also had the black screen error others have encountered. Turning off Avira AV and Nvidia Shadowplay did the trick.

Just dropping in to say thanks as well.
I gave the upgrade a try but only got half way before going on holiday. No issues so far, and it looks really nice on my new 3840x1600 monitor. I appreciate the effort.
One question: what are people experiencing for loading times? It's been >10 years since I've played IW, but I seem to remember them being quicker. You run into a lot of loading screens when doing quests around the hubs. I came up with a new challenge for myself in the hub levels: figure out how to complete all the objectives with the fewest level transitions without missing anything.

Afaik, load times are quicker with the Visual Upgrade. The tiny levels and load times were the major reason for complaints about the game/design at release.

Hope this isn't a known error I just missed. Running Unpatched DX IW, getting 'app error' 'can't find steam'. Then it starts my browser and loads the main Steam page. I'm definitely logged into Steam. Any suggestions?
Thanks
