PC requirements, settings and save precautions

The 1.4 post says two things about AMD. Its notes list crashes on some AMD GPUs as fixed, but a separate note warns that some AMD players may still crash in 1.4 because of a bug in the newest AMD drivers. The developer recommends rolling back to an earlier driver and says a hotfix is coming. The November 4 hotfix (217820) fixes memory crashes on all platforms but does not mention the AMD driver issue, so the driver rollback advice still applies if you crash on a new AMD driver.

Separately, the known-issues list has random Fatal Error crashes on PC since 1.2, mostly on sleep and fast travel, with no workaround. If FSR doesn't seem to apply, it says to set Antialiasing to TSR first and then to FSR.

The October 15 update adds individual HUD visibility controls in Settings and corrects Hunting Log paging, a stale dog status indicator, a duplicate Dog Companion Marker setting and the Sleep-menu slider after confirmation. These interface fixes are not a tested performance preset or a save-recovery procedure.

The September 22 Default patch includes ammo switching, the multiplayer Track Blood command fix and the Headquarters nighttime performance fix. Older Experimental references below identify when fixes were first reported; they do not mean those fixes are Experimental-only now. Back up saves before any branch change.

The developer lists DLSS, FSR, frame generation, resolution scaling and quality presets. A feature list does not promise a particular frame rate; the cited FAQ was written during Early Access and does not establish 1.0 performance.

The FAQ says the game can technically run but may need workarounds and is not optimized or thoroughly tested on Deck. This wiki has no independently measured Deck preset.

The September 9 patch warned against moving Experimental saves back to the then-Default build. The September 22 announcement does not establish a safe conversion for every save. Back up before changing branches and follow documented backup instructions; do not use a guessed save directory.

March 2026 Windows guidance links inherited demo configuration to resolution and UI-scaling faults. This historical workaround is not a universal crash fix or console instruction.

1. With the game closed, record settings and back up Saved separately; this is Kingy’s precaution.
2. Press Windows+R and open %LocalAppData%\WOTH2\Saved.
3. Delete only Config. Deleting save files erases progress; do not delete Saved.
4. Relaunch and compare the affected display. The developer expects regenerated configuration; current-build success remains unconfirmed.

Patch 1.1 adds Inverted Horizontal Look and Inverted Vertical Look, enables left-stick menu navigation and raises the default Inner Look Deadzone to 12. The developer suggests increasing it further if camera drift persists. Record your own setting and result; this is not a guarantee that a software setting repairs a faulty controller.
