DO NOT BUY! Unplayable on Windows 10 PCs!

[BlockAgent]

The game refuses to run full screen, does not work with an xbox controller even though the game was released on xbox, the controls are awful, the graphics mess up and go negative photo looking sometimes and the window won't keep your mouse from clicking outside of it while playing (this means you will be always accidently opening things on your pc such as the start menu, programs, etc. Ubisoft's support for this game is non-existant as well. This game for all intents and purposes, does not work on PC. I'm honestly suprised that it is even on steam still. BE WARNED.

Except it works perfectly fine on PC and on Windows 10 and with an Xbox controller.

Well then you must have a magical pc, because it is unplayable on my pc and if you search on google, it is also unplayable for these same reasons on many others PCs.

How about you make a play-through and post it to youtube if it works so perfectly on yours? Then us others with W10 pcs can just watch it since we can't play it.

Don't blame the game for a potential problem with your computer. There is plenty of people that report this game works perfectly fine. No need to try and be a smartass. You still haven't described exactly what sort of problems you are having. Then again, I just noticed you don't even own the game so I guess this is pointless in trying to troubleshoot your problems.

I own the game on Uplay, not steam. And no, there is no issue with my pc. It runs flawlessly, and has played hundreds of other games perfectly, from older classics to modern AAA. Smoth as glass. Its the game.

Computers can work perfect for hundreds of games but then have a conflict with a certain game. It's not the game that's creating the issue, it's the computer. For example, Typing of the Dead Overkill requires a specific driver file for AMD graphic cards. If you don't have that then the zombies will be missing body parts or even be completely invisible. That's not a flaw with the game. It's simply a conflict with computer hardware and drivers.

It's been a few months since I decided to play Cold Fear so I don't remember everything exactly. But it does seem familiar that the game required some tweaking to get it to work properly. It's an old game so a person should expect that. But I can guarantee, along with many other people, that the game does work.

From what you've explained in the first post, it sounds like maybe some video driver problems. As for the controller, I wouldn't recommend using one. You can get one to work but it's a bit of a hassle trying to do so and I would say that the mouse and keyboard works better anyway.

Sure, Sure fanboy. What ever you say. An Intel/Nvidia pc that runs all other games with no issues, except for this one single game...yeah, it's gotta be the computer's fault. Maybe your pc is just old enough to run this pile of crap game.

Well I've tried to be nice and help but you continue to sling insults and act childish. So I won't be looking in here anymore.

i have the Uplay version of the game too and it's working fine on my computer (rig, not laptop) with Windows 10 x64 as it is (no compatibility mode set, etc.). I have a Nvidia video card though, not ATI/AMD

[NOCTURNE]

Game works perfectly fine for me too... Yourside issue...

[danielshuter]

works great for me on windows 10, dunno about controller though as i use k and m

[Lamurie]

fully playable on win10x64

[DreamSphinx]

Works perfectly fine on Windows 10 for me. Used a widescreen fix, and there's barely any problems. I am using a keyboard and mouse though.
