Hi everyone! Let's get started

First of all, download these:

1. Painkiller ++ (base for fixed EXE)
http://pkzone.org/downloads/mods/pk-1-3-open-beta/
2. The Disable Precache File
https://www.mediafire.com/?88huwfa89eji9pi
3. CFF Explorer
http://www.ntcore.com/exsuite.php
4. Visit the Widescreen HUD Tutorial and follow it
http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=193714598
5. Download the EAX re-enabler:
http://www.indirectsound.com/

NOW

install both parts of the Painkiller ++
And then, go to your steamapps\common\Painkiller Black Edition\bin\ folder and look for the AMD dual core fix. Rename your painkiller.exe to painkiller.exe.bak (to back it up) and rename that amd fix (either one, they're both the same) to Painkiller.exe

THEN

Install CFF Explorer, right click your painkiller.exe, go to "open with cff explorer", click the nt headers tab and then the file header and at the bottom where it says click here (next to the charicteristics) click this:


and then save


After that, do the same thing to your engine.ini, and then do these:


and


This will ensure the ingame engine will work with the 2+ gigs and the dual core support too.

Then after that, extract the no precache file to your base directory.

THEN

extract the EAX re-enabler to both your bin directory AND your painkiller black edition home directory. Open up your game and adjust your settings, then quit.


THE TWEAKS:


Open up your config.ini file in your bin folder, and look for these:

Cfg.ClipPlane = 100
set this to:
Cfg.ClipPlane = 999
or to
Cfg.ClipPlane = 999999999
in case you're hardcore like that :)

Then do this:
Cfg.FOV = 106.27
for 16:9 and
Cfg.FOV = 100.39
for 16:10/8:5

Now save, and VERY IMPORTANT, you have to set the config.ini file to READ ONLY

AND YOU *MUST* LOAD A MAP FROM THE START, OR ELSE THE DRAW DISTANCE WILL BREAK THE CHECKPOINTS. LOAD IT FROM THE MAP SCREEN AND YOU WILL BE FINE.


Sometimes if you clip inside of an enemy you'll die if you set the 999999999 tweak but that's not that big of an issue. Haven't tested all maps but it looks WAY better and runs like a dream!!

And that's it! Enjoy your awesome, smooth-running painkiller!!!
