Modernizes F.E.A.R. and its expansions by adding HUD scaling, high-framerate optimizations, XInput controller support, and other quality-of-life improvements. The mod is as non-intrusive as possible: it does not modify game files and, by default, does not change gameplay, focusing solely on fixing issues and enhancing the overall experience.

Compatibility: F.E.A.R. Ultimate Shooter Edition (Steam), F.E.A.R. Platinum (GOG), as well as the Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate expansions.

How to install:

  1. Download the patch;
  2. Extract the contents of the archive into the game’s folder, in the same directory as FEAR.exe.

GOG version specifics:

  • By default, there is a 60 FPS cap;
  • To remove it, open the dxwrapper.ini file and set the LimitPerFrameFPS parameter from 60 to 0;
  • This will enable the HighFPSFixes optimizations and ensure smooth gameplay at up to 240 FPS.

To launch the game on Steam Deck or Linux, open the game’s properties in Steam and add the following to the launch options: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%. On Steam Deck, change the controller configuration to Gamepad With Joystick Trackpad for XInput support.
