Game Crash Fix for Windows 10
Hello Guys ,

I recently was wondering why the Hell this Game won't Start.
Mean it Crashed all the Time on the first Screen.
Therefore i was searching the Web and found some advices but sadly
none of them fixed this issue.Then i thought about Games Save and Ini Files in the Docs
and was surprised that nothing was created there.My Hunch was right after i simply downloaded
an Game Save and paste in the Docs under My Games.There was by the way nor a SAW Entry Created , absolutely nothing.
I think that Windows 10 is the Problem because i saw Comments where People had less issues with Win XP , VIsta , 7 and 8 but most mentioned this bug with Windows 10.

FIrst of all these Advices i found in the Web :

1.)Uninstall NV Physx and install the old one which can be found in the game Folder
2.)Change the Audio settings to Stereo instead of 5.1 or 7.1 and change to 16 or 24 bit & 48000 Hz
3.) Install the Dx Runtimes in the Game Folder
4.) Run as Admin and run in Compatibility Mode under Windows 7 , Vista or even Win XP SP3

You can try them if they help but for me they doesn't.

The needed Game Save File :

Link[savegame-download.com]

You can freely try another one but with this one the Game Starts without any issue. \o/
But to mention is that it Starts in 720p.

You need to tweak here by editing the resolutions :
SawGame.ini => [SawGame.SawUIScene_VideoSettings]=> add - SupportedResolutions=1920x1080
SawEngine.ini => [SystemSettings] => set to : ResX=1920 ResY=1080
SawCompat.ini => [AppCompatBucket5] => set to : ResX=1920 ResY=1080

[ Can be found under : My games\Saw\SawGame\Config ]

Close and save them all and the Game will run by deafault @ 1080p
By trying to change the Resolution in the Game settings you cant adjust to Full HD if you
have chosen now another one and clicked on save.So therefore i suggest not to play around at the Resolution
because it will be by default at 1080p with this tweak.

If your Game still don't run try to re-download it and do this workaround.

Greetings Jonas010
