The default renderer is better anyway, imo.ĭetermines the size of your crosshair. The sourceport uses a new renderer for dynamic lighting and shadows, but can tank your FPS if you're not using a good computer. If you experience FPS issues on the highest quality graphics setting, type that in and restart the game. Perfect for widescreen resolutions, makes it so that the weapon FOV isn't cut off and the HUD elements aren't stretched out Lastly, here's some optional console input commands you can add once you're in-game. Sorry if all of this is overwhelming, but I'm just giving you the best tips I can. Optionally, if you want Steam to track your time and hours played, remove and replace your existing WolfSP.exe file with the ioWolfSP.exe file (rename it to WolfSP.exe), and then start the game up via Steam. Then, doubleclick ioWolfSP.exe to open the game up with the sourceport, and you're good to go. Once you do, merge it into your 'Return to Castle Wolfenstein' folder. RealRTCW is good too, as it's a mod built on the ioRTCW engine, but it's not the 'vanilla' experience you're looking for. This is by far the best way to play vanilla RTCW now, as it fixes some bugs and offers widescreen and native resolution support. If it doesn't, and I recommend doing this anyway, you're going to want to install the ioRTCW sourceport. Once you do that, the game should start up fine. Your wolfconfig.cfg file should be found under Documents -> RTCW -> main. You're going to want to delete your wolfconfig.cfg file and then start your game up again.
