Resolution and controls

I seem to remember this game being locked to 640x480, can anyone confirm this is the case, or am I misremembering?

Also, does the game feature any kind of controller support? I'm not expecting miracles with Xbox 360 controller support or anything like that, just wondering if a controller can be used at all, or if it's keyboard and mouse only.

Wouldn't mind playing through it again, and probably will either way, but it's nice to know these things beforehand.

Yeah I'm also curious about rebindable keys, controller support, and resolution options. Anyone with the game care to comment?

As far as I remember there is an unofficial patch, which allow you to set high resolution. I know because I used it when I last played this game. So if this steam version don't have resolution options, maybe you still can find and use this patch.

it's easy.
You need aitd4 launcher. Run file named Launch.exe in your game's directory and choose shadow quality and resolution. You will see menu like this:

If you have not this file, you can easy find it in google "alone in the dark 4 launcher"

You are wrong. This is official PC version (but very very old).

Yes, but this game supports only Dinput gamepads.

~Scorpion, thanks, that's all very useful info. I have a DInput controller lying around, so I'll most likely pick this up.

Thanks again for the info.

im going to wait until the official reboot is released on PC instead of getting this, its just to old to out of date to even be worth any time at all.
