If you encounter the fact that Painkiller: Hell & Damnation slows down, crashes, Painkiller: Hell & Damnation won't start, Painkiller: Hell & Damnation won't install, there are no controls in Painkiller: Hell & Damnation, no sound, errors pop up, in Painkiller : Hell & Damnation save not working – we offer you the most common ways to solve these problems.

Be sure to update your video card drivers and other software

Before you remember the worst words and express them towards the developers, do not forget to go to the official website of the manufacturer of your video card and download the latest drivers. Often, specially optimized drivers are prepared for the release of games. You can also try installing a later version of the drivers if the problem is not solved by installing the current version.

It is important to remember that you should only download the final versions of video cards - try not to use beta versions, as they may have a large number of bugs not found and not fixed.

Do not forget that games often require the latest version of DirectX to be installed, which can always be downloaded from the official Microsoft website.

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation won't launch

Many problems with launching games happen due to incorrect installation. Check if there were any errors during the installation, try to uninstall the game and run the installer again, after disabling the antivirus - often the files necessary for the game to work are deleted by mistake. It is also important to remember that the path to the folder with the installed game should not contain Cyrillic characters - use only Latin letters and numbers for directory names.

It still does not hurt to check if there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can try to run the game as Administrator in compatibility mode with different versions of Windows.

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation slows down. Low FPS. Logs. Friezes. hangs up

First - install the latest drivers for the video card, this FPS in the game can rise significantly. Also check the computer's load in the task manager (opened by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESCAPE). If, before starting the game, you see that some process is consuming too many resources, turn off its program or simply end this process from the task manager.

Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First of all, turn off anti-aliasing and try lowering the settings responsible for post-processing. Many of them consume a lot of resources and disabling them will significantly increase performance without greatly affecting the quality of the picture.

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation crashes to desktop

If Painkiller: Hell & Damnation often crashes to your desktop, try lowering the graphics quality to start solving the problem. It is possible that your computer simply does not have enough performance and the game cannot work correctly. It is also worth checking for updates - most modern games have a system for automatically installing new patches. Check if this option is disabled in the settings.

Black screen in Painkiller: Hell & Damnation

More often than not, the problem with the black screen is an issue with the GPU. Check if your graphics card meets the minimum requirements and install the latest drivers. Sometimes a black screen is the result of insufficient CPU performance.

If everything is fine with the hardware, and it meets the minimum requirements, try switching to another window (ALT + TAB), and then return to the game window.

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation is not installed. Installation stuck

First of all, check if you have enough HDD space for installation. Remember that the setup program requires the advertised amount of space plus 1-2 gigabytes of free space on the system drive to run correctly. In general, remember the rule - the system drive should always have at least 2 gigabytes of free space for temporary files. Otherwise, both games and programs may not work correctly or refuse to start at all.

Installation problems can also occur due to lack of Internet connection or its unstable operation. Also, do not forget to suspend the antivirus while installing the game - sometimes it interferes with the correct copying of files or deletes them by mistake, considering them viruses.

Saves not working in Painkiller: Hell & Damnation

By analogy with the previous solution, check the availability of free space on the HDD - both on the one where the game is installed and on the system drive. Often save files are stored in a folder of documents, which is located separately from the game itself.

Controls not working in Painkiller: Hell & Damnation

Sometimes the controls in the game do not work due to the simultaneous connection of several input devices. Try disabling the gamepad, or if for some reason you have two keyboards or mice connected, leave only one pair of devices. If the gamepad does not work for you, then remember that only controllers that are defined as Xbox joysticks officially support games. If your controller is defined differently, try using programs that emulate Xbox joysticks (for example, x360ce).

Sound not working in Painkiller: Hell & Damnation

Check if the sound works in other programs. After that, check if the sound is turned off in the settings of the game itself and if the sound playback device is selected there, to which your speakers or headset are connected. Next, while the game is running, open the mixer and check if the sound is muted there.

If you are using an external sound card, check for new drivers on the manufacturer's website.

Collect 330 gold from enemies
Reward - card " Speed"You move twice as fast.
You can extract gold from enemies by hitting them several times before they fall to the ground. The easiest way to do this is with an additional weapon attack #1. We release a round ball at the enemy, connected by a laser to the weapon, immediately retract it back, and release it again. We repeat this quickly several times, and a golden item will fall out of the enemy, giving +11 gold.

Ahead we see the wreckage of the second floor, on which there is a golden cross, but you can’t just jump there. We jump down, we notice that the far right column is lighter than the rest, and is slightly tilted to the side. We roll up to this column one of the barrels, blow it up. The column will fall on the destroyed part of the second floor, we climb up along it. Now it remains to jump from one island to another. You can climb to the top of the wall fragment, but from a place you won’t be able to jump to another island. Here you need to jump first (Bunny Hop), after that you get a longer jump. To do this, we stand at the wall, start jumping forward, landing, immediately jump again. Having reached the upper column, but without crashing into it, we turn sharply to the right, and make the last jump towards the island we need.

Secret 2. In the room with the destroyed islands on the second floor, we go along the right wall, we find an inclined coffin, we jump on it to the upper balcony, there we find a golden cross behind the barrel.

Our enemy is a giant monster walking around the cemetery. He strikes the ground with his fists. You need to attack it in the body, but it is located at a decent height, so you can only hit it with long-range weapons - a stalk gun or soul catcher discs. We walk around the location, collect cartridges, shoot them at the boss. Ordinary skeletons are chasing us on the ground, but it's better not to pay attention to them.

After losing 2/3 health, the boss will break his chains on his chest. After that, he will create a hurricane, trying to suck us into himself. At this point, you need to constantly run away from the boss.

After defeating the boss, we absorb his soul by using additional weapon mode No. 8.

There are two hard-to-reach achievements to earn from this boss.

1) "Complete the level using only a stab gun, and never miss" - constantly shoot only at the boss, use tarot cards to slow him down (it's better to take a set of cards: use cards three times per level, slow down time, increase 2 times , weapon reload acceleration). After taking off half the damage, you need to wait until the boss breaks the chains, and only after that apply the cards again and shoot. After killing the boss, we draw out his soul, but do not use weapon number 8, as we are asked, but shoot with a stab gun.

2) “Complete the level without taking damage” - fight off the skeletons on the ground, and when the boss breaks his chains, use tarot cards so that he does not have time to create a hurricane.

Secret 4. Activate 4 dark electrical panels. They are in different places of the level: 1. On the second floor with a broken floor. 2. In the destroyed part outside the central building. 3. Inside a single building in the corner, to the left of the entrance. 4. Outside, at a dead end with two tanks and a pipe. Next to the 4th panel we enter the opened door of the side wall with pipes.

How many remakes have we seen along the way? Difficult question: all old games now tend to be resurrected from the dead in the form of sequels or a new HD edition, since new ideas cannot get into the heads of developers in any way - they have to milk the old ones. And most players do not mind: young and green will find out what it was like in the distant nineties and two thousandths, and experienced students of the old school will see their favorite character in a new light. But not all old titles are being revived: take at least Duke Nukem Forever, which was not very warmly received after so many years of waiting. The creators of Painkiller have also been constantly disappointing, releasing trash games year after year, but this time they claim that a worthy remake of the first part, which will simply be transferred to a new engine. What is he?

The game suddenly meets us with a colorful screensaver that practically retells the plot and some of the events of the first part. And the plot, oddly enough, continues the story of the original game, the decision is very controversial, because this is a remake! Shouldn't the remake have what was in the original? The creators break these canons and rush on, destroying the rest of the characteristic features of this series. The plot, it must be said, is unacceptably simple and sometimes overly illogical, and at the end it breaks off with a ridiculous ending with a hint of a sequel. But Painkiller, as we know, is not about this, shall we not scold us for the lack of intelligible events in the game?

Only one association arises in the head, when pronouncing the phrase "remake of the original Painkiller" - is there still a drive in the game? This question is the cornerstone of the entire series, and he flunked all the past parts of the game, which were outright garbage. I must say that it is more advanced in this matter, but still falls short of the main original part. It seems that the weapons have not changed, the levels have remained the same, everything is full of hidden areas, a lot of different and well-known monsters, but still this is not the Painkiller we know. And there are a number of reasons for this.

Remember how the main character flew like a butterfly, stung like a bee? His physical abilities were amazing, and his drive levels rose after the frantically fast firefight, which was the best part of the game. So, apparently, our favorite in the remake ate too much - he can no longer jump, run like that, and his fat sticks to all places, which looks and plays extremely awkwardly. Drive minus thirty percent. Remember the infernal difficulty on nightmare? Forget, if you are two people, and the difficulty level is maximum, you will hardly experience any difficulties. Drive minus ten percent. The chic levels of the first part were worked out to the fullest, but they decided to transfer only some of them to the remake, another strange decision. Drive minus ten percent.

But the game has accumulated not only cons, but also pluses, which are much more. Traditional weapons are completely carried over from the first part of the game, only one unit has been added that can saw your enemies into multiple pieces. The graphics have been completely changed: more dismemberment, blood, guts and other colorful and pleasant piles of garbage at all levels of the game. The soundtrack is still a great bass guitar drumming and other delights of the rock genre. And the sea of ​​everything.

- a good game in the spirit of the original, though not quite up to its ideal. Strange decisions interrupt the drive, but the old feelings still go out of the game in huge portions: the drive, the old atmosphere, and now also in the cooperative. The unfinished co-op mode is annoying, but the sense of fun outweighs the game's shortcomings. The game fully justifies its money, at least it's better than the trash that was stamped in batches after the release of the original game.

P.S. The game uses an emulator from the Xbox 360 gamepad, but slightly redesigned. In order for the gamepad to be recognized as the controller of the second player, these files must be transferred to the game folder . Then start the emulator and select "Second controller" in the window that appears. Have a good game.

Unfortunately, there are flaws in games: brakes, low FPS, crashes, freezes, bugs and other minor and not very errors. Often problems begin before the game even starts, when it won't install, won't load, or won't even download. Yes, and the computer itself is sometimes weird, and then in Painkiller: Hell & Damnation, instead of a picture, a black screen, control does not work, no sound is heard or anything else.

What to do first

1. Download and run the world famous CCleaner(download from a direct link) is a program that will clean your computer of unnecessary garbage, as a result of which the system will work faster after the first reboot;
2. Update all drivers in the system using the program Driver Updater(download via direct link) - it will scan your computer and update all drivers to the latest version in 5 minutes;
3. Install the program WinOptimizer(download from a direct link) and turn on the game mode in it, which will end useless background processes during game launch and improve performance in the game.

The second thing to do if you encounter any problems with Painkiller: Hell & Damnation is to check the system requirements. In a good way, you need to do this even before the purchase, so as not to regret the money spent.

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation Minimum System Requirements:

Windows XP, Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 2.0Ghz, 2 Gb RAM, 5 Gb HDD, Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT 256 Mb

Every gamer should at least have a little understanding of the components, to know why a video card, processor and other things are needed in the system unit.

Files, drivers and libraries

Almost every device in a computer requires a set of special software. These are drivers, libraries and other files that ensure the correct operation of the computer.

It's worth starting with the drivers for the video card. Modern graphics cards are produced by only two large companies - Nvidia and AMD. Having found out which product spins the coolers in the system unit, we go to the official website and download the package of fresh drivers:

A prerequisite for the successful functioning of Painkiller: Hell & Damnation is the availability of the latest drivers for all devices in the system. Download the utility Driver Updater to easily and quickly download the latest drivers and install them with one click:

If Painkiller: Hell & Damnation does not start, we recommend that you try disabling your antivirus or put the game in the antivirus exceptions, and also check the system requirements again and if something from your assembly does not match, then, if possible, improve your PC by purchasing more powerful components.

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation has black screen, white screen, color screen. Solution

Problems with screens of different colors can be roughly divided into 2 categories.

Firstly, they are often associated with the use of two video cards at once. For example, if your motherboard has an integrated video card, but you are playing on a discrete one, then Painkiller: Hell & Damnation may run on the built-in one for the first time, while you will not see the game itself, because the monitor is connected to a discrete video card.

Secondly, color screens happen when there are problems with displaying the image on the screen. This can happen for various reasons. For example, Painkiller: Hell & Damnation cannot work with an outdated driver or does not support a video card. Also, a black / white screen may be displayed when working at resolutions that are not supported by the game.

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation crashes. At a certain or random moment. Solution

You play for yourself, play and here - bam! - everything goes out, and now you have a desktop without any hint of the game. Why is this happening? To solve the problem, it is worth trying to figure out what the nature of the problem is.

If the crash occurs at a random point in time without any pattern, then with a probability of 99% we can say that this is a mistake of the game itself. In this case, fixing something is very difficult, and the best thing is to just put Painkiller: Hell & Damnation aside and wait for the patch.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash.

However, if you know exactly at what moments the crash occurs, then you can continue the game, avoiding situations that provoke a crash. In addition, you can download the Painkiller: Hell & Damnation save and bypass the departure point.

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation freezes. The picture freezes. Solution

The situation is about the same as with crashes: many freezes are directly related to the game itself, or rather, to the developer's mistake when creating it. However, a frozen picture can often become a starting point for investigating the deplorable state of a video card or processor.

So if the picture in Painkiller: Hell & Damnation freezes, then use the programs to display statistics on the loading of components. Perhaps your video card has long exhausted its working life or the processor is heating up to dangerous temperatures?

The easiest way to check the loading and temperatures for the video card and processors is in the MSI Afterburner program. If desired, you can even display these and many other parameters on top of the Painkiller: Hell & Damnation image.

What temperatures are dangerous? Processors and video cards have different operating temperatures. For video cards, they are usually 60-80 degrees Celsius. The processors are slightly lower - 40-70 degrees. If the processor temperature is higher, then you should check the condition of the thermal paste. It may have dried out and needs to be replaced.

If the video card is heating up, then you should use the driver or the official utility from the manufacturer. You need to increase the number of revolutions of the coolers and see if the operating temperature drops.

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation slows down. Low FPS. Frame rate drops. Solution

With stutters and low frame rates in Painkiller: Hell & Damnation, the first step is to lower the graphics settings. Of course, there are a lot of them, so before reducing everything in a row, you should find out exactly how certain settings affect performance.

Screen resolution. In short, this is the number of points that make up the picture of the game. The higher the resolution, the higher the load on the video card. However, the increase in load is negligible, so reducing the screen resolution should only be the very last resort, when everything else does not help.

Texture quality. Typically, this setting determines the resolution of texture files. Decrease the quality of textures if the video card has a small amount of video memory (less than 4 GB) or if you are using a very old hard drive with a spindle speed of less than 7200.

Model quality(sometimes just details). This setting determines which set of 3D models will be used in the game. The higher the quality, the more polygons. Accordingly, high-poly models require more processing power of the video card (not to be confused with the amount of video memory!), which means that this parameter should be reduced on video cards with a low core or memory frequency.

Shadows. They are implemented in different ways. In some games, shadows are created dynamically, that is, they are calculated in real time every second of the game. Such dynamic shadows load both the processor and the video card. In order to optimize, developers often abandon the full rendering and add a pre-render of shadows to the game. They are static, because in fact they are just textures that are superimposed on top of the main textures, which means they load memory, and not the core of the video card.

Often, developers add additional settings related to shadows:

• Shadow Resolution - determines how detailed the shadow cast by the object will be. If the game has dynamic shadows, then it loads the core of the video card, and if a pre-created render is used, then it “eats” the video memory.
• Soft shadows - smoothing out bumps on the shadows themselves, usually this option is given along with dynamic shadows. Regardless of the type of shadows, it loads the video card in real time.

Smoothing. It allows you to get rid of ugly corners at the edges of objects by using a special algorithm, the essence of which is usually to generate several images at once and compare them, calculating the most “smooth” image. There are many different anti-aliasing algorithms that differ in the level of impact on the performance of Painkiller: Hell & Damnation.

For example, MSAA works head-on, creating 2, 4, or 8 renders at once, so the frame rate is reduced by 2, 4, or 8 times, respectively. Algorithms such as FXAA and TAA operate a little differently, achieving a smooth image by calculating only the edges and using some other tricks. Because of this, they do not reduce performance as much.

Lighting. As in the case of anti-aliasing, there are different algorithms for lighting effects: SSAO, HBAO, HDAO. All of them use the resources of the video card, but they do it differently depending on the video card itself. The fact is that the HBAO algorithm was promoted mainly on video cards from Nvidia (GeForce line), so it works best on the “green” ones. HDAO, on the other hand, is optimized for AMD graphics cards. SSAO is the simplest type of lighting, it consumes the least resources, so in case of brakes in Painkiller: Hell & Damnation, it is worth switching to it.

What should be lowered first? Shadows, anti-aliasing, and lighting effects are usually the most stressful, so it's best to start with them.

Often gamers themselves have to deal with the optimization of Painkiller: Hell & Damnation. For almost all major releases, there are various related and forums where users share their ways to improve productivity.

One of them is a special program called WinOptimizer. It is made specifically for those who do not want to manually clean up the computer from various temporary files, delete unnecessary registry entries and edit the startup list. WinOptimizer will do this for you, as well as analyze your computer to find ways to improve application and game performance.

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation lags. Big game delay. Solution

Many people confuse "lag" with "lag", but these problems have completely different causes. Painkiller: Hell & Damnation slows down when the frame rate at which the image is displayed on the monitor decreases, and lags when the delay when accessing the server or any other host is too high.

That is why "lags" can only be in network games. The reasons are different: bad network code, physical distance from servers, network congestion, incorrectly configured router, low Internet connection speed.

However, the latter is the least common. In online games, communication between the client and the server occurs by exchanging relatively short messages, so even 10 MB per second should be enough for the eyes.

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation has no sound. Can not hear anything. Solution

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation works, but for some reason does not sound - this is another problem that gamers face. Of course, you can play like that, but it's still better to figure out what's the matter.

First you need to determine the scope of the problem. Where exactly is there no sound - only in the game or in general on the computer? If only in the game, then perhaps this is due to the fact that the sound card is very old and does not support DirectX.

If there is no sound at all, then the matter is definitely in the computer settings. Perhaps the sound card drivers are not installed correctly, or maybe there is no sound due to some specific error of our favorite Windows OS.

Controls not working in Painkiller: Hell & Damnation. Painkiller: Hell & Damnation does not see the mouse, keyboard or gamepad. Solution

How to play if it is impossible to control the process? The problems of supporting specific devices are out of place here, because we are talking about familiar devices - keyboard, mouse and controller.

Thus, errors in the game itself are practically excluded, almost always the problem is on the user's side. You can solve it in different ways, but, one way or another, you will have to turn to the driver. Usually, when you connect a new device, the operating system immediately tries to use one of the standard drivers, but some models of keyboards, mice, and gamepads are not compatible with them.

Thus, you need to find out the exact model of the device and try to find exactly its driver. Often, devices from well-known gaming brands come with their own software kits, since the standard Windows driver simply cannot ensure the correct operation of all the functions of a particular device.

If you don’t want to look for drivers for all devices separately, you can use the program Driver Updater. It is designed to automatically search for drivers, so you only need to wait for the scan results and download the necessary drivers in the program interface.

Often the brakes in Painkiller: Hell & Damnation can be caused by viruses. In this case, there is no difference how powerful the video card is in the system unit. You can check your computer and clean it of viruses and other unwanted software using special programs. For example NOD32 . The antivirus has proven itself from the best side and has received the approval of millions of users around the world.

Suitable for both personal use and small businesses, ZoneAlarm is able to protect a computer running Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP from any attack: phishing, viruses, malware, spyware and other cyber threats . New users are given a 30-day free trial.

Nod32 is an antivirus from ESET, which has received many awards for its contribution to the development of security. Versions of anti-virus programs for both PC and mobile devices are available on the developer's website, a 30-day trial version is provided. There are special conditions for business.

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation torrent download not working. Solution

If the distribution kit of the game was downloaded via torrent, then in principle there can be no guarantees of work. Torrents and repacks are almost never updated through official applications and do not work over the network, because in the course of hacking, hackers cut out all network functions from games, which are often used to check the license.

Using such versions of games is not only inconvenient, but even dangerous, because very often many files have been changed in them. For example, to bypass protection, pirates modify an EXE file. However, no one knows what else they do with it. Maybe they embed self-executing software. For example, which, when the game is first launched, will be integrated into the system and will use its resources to ensure the well-being of hackers. Or, giving access to the computer to third parties. There are no guarantees and there cannot be.

In addition, the use of pirated versions is, according to our publication, theft. The developers have spent a lot of time creating the game, investing their own money in the hope that their offspring will pay off. And every work must be paid.

Therefore, if you encounter any problems with games downloaded from torrents or hacked using certain means, you should immediately remove the “pirate”, clean your computer with an antivirus and a licensed copy of the game. This will not only save you from dubious software, but also allow you to download updates for the game and receive official support from its creators.

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation throws an error about a missing DLL file. Solution

As a rule, problems associated with the absence of DLLs occur when Painkiller: Hell & Damnation is launched, however, sometimes the game can access certain DLLs in the process and, without finding them, crash in the most impudent manner.

To fix this error, you need to find the required DLL and install it on the system. The easiest way to do this is with a program. DLL fixer, which scans the system and helps you quickly find missing libraries.
