Star Wars: The Force Unleashed PC Port Fixes

This is a pretty neat game. It's also got few problems you might want to fix.

Issues covered in this guide:

• 30 FPS Cap Unlock
  
• Support For 1080p+ Resolutions
  
• Odd Blurring and Distant Object Glitching
  
• Sound Issues in the Last Two Levels

The majority of these fixes come from the PCGamingWiki[www.pcgamingwiki.com] and are for the Windows version of the game.

30 FPS UNLOCK

Luckily a fine user modded the Force Unleashed executable to let you increase the 30fps cap.

As a side note, this mod also includes modded .exes for Force Unleashed II as well!

1. First download this .7z file[community.pcgamingwiki.com] and extract it (use winrar, 7zip, etc)
   
2. Navigate to your local install of your game (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars The Force Unleashed)
   
3. Repace the original .exe file with the modded one of your choosing!

NOTE: The increased frame cap may result in a higher chance of crashing, the unlimited cap option increases this chance even further. When running over 40fps this mod can also cause objects to automatically rise when you force grip them when.

HIGH RESOLUTION (1440p/4K) UNLOCK

This fix just needs you to edit some config files.

1. Navigate to "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Aspyr\Star Wars The Force Unleashed"
   
2. Open "Config.xml"
   
3. Edit "<s id="VideoWidth"> insert value here </s>" and "<s id="VideoHeight"> insert value here </s>" to your desired resolution
   
4. Enjoy the game in 1440p, 4k, and above!

NOTE: If you want to quickly get to "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\" just type %localappdata% into the Windows search bar or Run.

ODD BLUR AND DISTANT OBJECT GLITCHING

This looks to be directly tied to Intel Onboard Graphics. It seems Intel iGPUs are unsupported by the game. The only way found to fix this so far is to have an AMD or Nvidia graphics card.

SOUND ISSUES IN LAST 2 STAGES

For whatever reason sounds cut out on the last two levels.

2. Download the fix from this guide and extract it
   
3. Replace all the files in the \LevelPacks directory
   
4. Enjoy actaully hearing proper sound in the last two levels

if you do the res fix make sure you still choose the 1920x1080 res and it will auto adjust to what ever res you put in the file in the correct aspect ratio

When I started the game I get the message: Save failed. Make sure a valid storage device is selected and try again.... What should I do?

@Molag Baller theres constant stuttering and crashing

I'm having a problem where you can't hear Juno's voice where she's advising Starkiller in the tie factory and other worlds, but cutscenes are working just fine. Anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it?

thank you kind friend

Changing resolution sadly doesn't work; all it does is a black screen, which minimises, is impossible to maximise and I can hear audio lagging and can't do anything; game won't work.

If u can't "stand" 30 FPS go play a new game lmfao.

There is a problem with unlocking high resolution. When I set the config file to 2560x1440, my monitor sets to 4:3 and the game is shifted up to the top of the screen

Because some people can't stand 30fps. The best solution is unstable due to the physics being designed around the cap.
