Playing old PC games is a pain but thankfully over the years people have figured out fixes. Changing lots of settings manually is still irritating though so here's an easy to download .rar file containing all the adjustments you'll need to fully enjoy Enslaved: Odyssey to the West on Steam.

1. Options to play in 1440p and 4K.

2. Increased shadow resolution, better anisotropy and a fix for the distracting shadow-banding visual bug on characters.

3. An unlimited frame-limit, it can now be played as fast your monitor allows! Originally the game would run at a maximum of 62FPS.

4. The ability to play with Monkey and Trip's extra costumes from a first playthrough, along with the ability to enable both of them at once - for some reason you are not able to do this by default.

5. An accompanying ".txt" file with easy to follow installation instructions.

Unpatched, without the Shadow-banding fix:

Thanks to the original contributors for making this game playable for so many people over the years! In particular to Steam user MarurabaATX for their original improvement guide (which contains extra information about custom skins if you are interested; Wuxriff for their original original graphics adjustment guide, and gl1tch2gh0st for their info about the shadow banding-fix.

These guides do contain some out of date configuration information so I do not recommend adjusting settings based off of them as the files supplied in the download have been optimised already.

Please rate if you found this useful and would like future players to use! Cheers and have fun :D
