Possible Game/Driver Issues

Issue 1: For x86/win32/winxp( This Excludes Vista ) computers, If you are getting missing dll's or the game doesn't run make sure you have installed the MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ 2005 RUNTIME LIBRARIES "Fear2Supportvcredist_x86.exe" and DirectX 9 update "Fear2SupportDirectX9DXSETUP.exe".

Use the 2008 Libraries:

Issue 5: Possible Vista & Windows 7 Beta Compatibility Issue:
If you're unable to run the game under the normal Vista or Windows 7 Beta OS try this link on the Loader.exe and Fear2.exe App's

Issue 6: If your game is not in the desired language Make Sure your windows is set to the desired language in your Control Panel under Language settings.
Or you can try this:
How to manually change game language by editing system registry:
Sometimes, you may run into problems with in game audio and text language. For example the game may play Russian audio while you need to game to run with English audio. There is no in game option to change the language so use the steps below to manually change it by editing the system registry.

1. Open a new text file in Notepad, paste the following into the new text file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMonolith ProductionsFEAR21.00.0000]
"Language"="LANG"

To set a language of your choice, replace “LANG” with any of the following codes:

cs - Czech
de - German
en - English
es - Spanish
fr - French
hu - Hungarian
it - Italian
ja - Japanese
pl - Polish
ru - Russian

For example, if you want the game to run in English, your text file should contain the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMonolith ProductionsFEAR21.00.0000]
"Language"="en"

2. Now save the text file with the .reg extension (Choose File—> Save As –> Select ‘All Files’ from “Save as Type’ and save with the name .reg "Ex: filename.reg"

3. Now locate the .reg file you just saved, double click it or right click it and select ‘Merge’. Press Yes to the dialog box that pops up. Run the game. Note that if your game does not contain the desired language (if it’s not a Multilingual version), audio stream will default to English.

Issue 7: Fix for no sound! (Also fixes startup crash)
Windows Vista:

This may not be as reliable as the solution for Windows XP, but a few people have reported it to be working.

1. Download and install the Basic K-Lite Codec Pack(

I have seen in other recent threads that the ACE Mega Codec pack could also do the trick, but I still recommend this one since ACE installs 15 times as much crap on your computer. Very invasive.
Windows XP:
Updated solution

1. Open up your control panel and go to sounds, speech, and audio devices (category view), then open up Sounds and Audio Devices.
2. Go to the "Hardware" tab, and select "Audio codecs" in the list of devices. Click the properties button.
3. Go to the "Properties" tab and see if the following two codecs are present: "IMA ADPCM Audio CODEC" (don't confuse it with the ADPCM codec, make sure it's IMA ADPCM) and "Microsoft PCM Converter". If the IMA ADPCM one is missing, see below for instructions on how to install it.
4. If both are present, select one of them and click on the "properties" button. Make sure "Use this audio codec" is checked, then click OK. Now do the same thing with the other one.
5. Try launching FEAR. If you've got sound, you should also be able to restore the video (.vib) files that you had to delete to launch the game.

Installing the IMA ADPCM Audio Codec

This codec is a default Windows codec. It may be absent from your list of codecs for a variety of reasons, here's how to install it.

1. Go to the control panel (use classic view), and choose Add Hardware. Click next.
2. Choose "Yes, I have already...", then choose "add a new hardware device", which should be at the bottom of the list.
3. Choose the manual Advanced option, and then select sound, video and game controllers. Next.
4. Choose "Have disk..." and then browse to C:Windowssystem32 and choose the mmdriver (.inf) and click OK. If you can't find the mmdriver file, you can download and use this one instead. (

Old solution

1. Open up your control panel and go to sounds, speech, and audio devices (category view), then open up Sounds and Audio Devices.
2. Go to the "Hardware" tab, and select "Audio codecs" in the list of devices. Click the properties button.
3. Go to the "Properties" tab and select the "Windows Media Audio" codec.* Click on properties.
4. Make sure "Use this audio codec" is selected, then change the priority to 1. Apply these settings.
5. Start FEAR 2. If you've got sound, you should also be able to restore your video (.vib) files that you had to delete to start the game. No more crashes.

Issue 8: OnBoard Graphics/Sound Shit

This game may and possibly Will Encounter issues such as game crashes, Bad sound(includes audio glitches,static and jumps), And Bad Graphics(if your using your onboard video) And Serious Game Lag Glitches. To Fix these issues go get a sound or video card that Meets the Minimum Requirements Or better.
