Beyond Good & Evil™

An Amazing Classic!

This is one of those games I saw my older brother play when I was younger and he would never let me have a go... these games bring a sense of nostalgia and wonder derived from the time when I was a kid. I am enjoying every minute of this game and this is one of the better older games that run very well on PC with native K&M controls, obviously there are mechanics that are a bit dated. As for controller support, I don't know if this works, my Xinput controller (wireless xbox one controller with windows dongle) for sure does not work with it, and my wired PDP controller which for some programs count as SDL instead of Xinput, does not work either (including the steam version), I have not tried any fixed or 3rd party softare yet due to tha fact that isn't a big deal since I prefer KB&M anyways, and this game is optimized for it. I download all my GOG games with the offline intallers - to ensure 100% DRM free installations or without launchers coming in between - and aside from the cutscenes running incredibly fast, the port seems to run just fine! !!! I fixed the cutscene speed... in other words, sound being out of sync while my cutscene ran as if it took hardcore substances... by running "SettingsApplication.exe" which is included in the game folder when installing the game through offline installers (so remember where you chose to install the game so you can find all its files). I ran the "settingsApplication.exe" and set my resolution to 1920x1080p (this in the res for my monitors) and set refresh rate to 60hz (My monitors are 144hz), Switching the refreshrate to 60hz fixed cutscene and audio speed and the game ran flawlessly. You could also force this application to run at 60fps through the Nvidia control panel (search google how to) if the method I used does not work. I do want to mention I got a plethora of Windows vc redist versions and Windows directplay (required for some older titles). I am unsure if they aided in running this game. Happy gaming!
