philarmitage: On my machine (Windows 10, i3 6100, GTX 950, 16GB RAM) the VideoSetup.exe instantly crashes when I run it. I tried both with and without the patch.
I have exactly the same issue. Either going through GOG Galaxy > The Saboteur > More > Other > Video Settings or running VideoSetup.exe directly immediately results in a Windows-level 'Saboteur Video Setup has stopped working' pop-up window. This is version 1.1.

Windows 10 Pro, i5 3570, 32GB, GTX 970

philarmitage: ...it would be nice to know the range of options for the other values as I'm sure I could set them to maximum for this game.
These would be the max settings as set by the VideoSetup app:
DisplayProfile 2
ScreenWidth 1920
ScreenHeight 1080
TextureQuality 3
SliceQuality 2
ClipRange 3
ObjectQuality 2
RainDensity 75
Shadows 1
RefreshRate 60
PostProcessing 1
VSync 1


Also, don't set refresh rate above 60 since apparently that tends to reset the game to default values.

rlwebb: snip
See above.

Brilliant, thanks for that!

Yes, two of us in this thread have already mentioned it so I guess it's a reasonably common problem...

Alright, hopefully it gets fixed or someone finds a workaround.

I don't own the GOG version, but I do remember the infamous Saboteur 'videosetup.exe has stopped working error' when trying to launch video settings under Origin. You need to have .net framework 2.0/ 3.5 (usually asks you to install this on first launch of the video settings app) Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) and Direct X installed for it to work. Hope that does the trick for anyone having troubles.

For anybody having problems with 'video setup not working' errors, you need to install:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)
Net 2.0/3.5 (Windows will ask you install this on first run of video settings app)
Direct X

Hope that helps.

After installing the Net 2.0/3.5 it still wont open the videosetup executable. A short busy signal quickly disappears and no process of it shows in task manager.

BenZ2k3: So i want to configure my Video Settings.
I am starting the VideoSetup.exe in the Mainfolder and set everything to High and picked 1920x1080 as Resolution.
Now i start the Game and my Resolution is 800x600...

Now i was searching for the config file. It is in my Documents....
This file was never changed from the VideoSetup.exe (normal and as admin mode)
So VideoSetup.exe is not working as intendet, i think.

What are the maximum settings, i can configure in this File.
Mine looks now like, but i dont know if this is maximum graphics or not, i was just guessing:

DisplayProfile 2
ScreenWidth 1920
ScreenHeight 1080
TextureQuality 4
SliceQuality 3
ClipRange 4
ObjectQuality 3
RainDensity 75
Shadows 1
RefreshRate 60
PostProcessing 1
VSync 1
I've got the exact same problem. Have only ever run the English version of the game. Is it possible that having the game installed on D: while the Docs/config files are on C: cause this issue? It's the only thing I can imagine would cause VideoSetup.exe to write a config.ini yet the game doesn't seem to be conforming to the config.
As the VideoSetup.exe did not run on my system as well, I used ILspy to decompille it into C# code. While I did not manage to get it running this way, I was able to identify the maximum settings in the code base:

case eDisplayProfile.DISPROFILE_HIGH:
Settings.SetVariable("ScreenWidth", HighResolution.Width);
Settings.SetVariable("ScreenHeight", HighResolution.Height);
Settings.SetVariable("RefreshRate", 60);
Settings.SetVariable("Shadows", 1);
Settings.SetVariable("ParticleDensity", 2);
Settings.SetVariable("TextureQuality", 3);
Settings.SetVariable("SliceQuality", 2);
Settings.SetVariable("ClipRange", 3);
Settings.SetVariable("ObjectQuality", 2);
Settings.SetVariable("RainDensity", 100);
Settings.SetVariable("PostProcessing", 1);
break;
Interesting that TextureQuality is set to "3" and not to "4" though.
