How to fix common Supraland bugs on Windows PCs

3. Click the Local files tab.
4. Then press the Verify Integrity Of Game Files button.

Turn Off Firewalls and Third-Party Antivirus Utilities

2. Then click Windows Defender Firewall to open the Control Panel applet shown directly below.
3. Click Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off to open the options shown below.
4. Select the Turn off Windows Defender Firewall settings.
5. Users can usually temporarily disable third-party antivirus utilities by selecting a disable or turn off option on their context menus. Right-click the antivirus utility’s system tray icon and select to temporarily disable it for a few hours before launching Supraland.

5. Thereafter, right-click Supraland on Steam’s Library tab and select Install Game.

2. Supraland Games Don’t Save

Turn Off Controlled Folder Access

1. Users can turn off Controlled folder access via the Settings app. To open the Controlled folder access option, press the Windows key + S.
2. Enter ‘Controlled folder access’ in Cortana.
3. Click Controlled folder access to open Settings as shown directly below.
4. Then toggle the Controlled folder access option off.

3. Game Runs With Low FPS

Turn Off G-Sync

Supraland might run at a low frame rate for some players. Low frame rates can be due to G-Sync frame rate synchronization for G-Sync monitors. Users can turn off G-Sync as follows.

1. Right-click the Windows desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.
2. Click Display on the left of the control panel.
3. Then click Set up G-Sync.
4. Deselect the Enable G-Sync, G-Sync Compatible option.
5. Press the Apply button.
6. In addition, players should close any background programs before launching Supraland. To do so, right-click the taskbar and select Task Manager.
7. Select programs listed under Apps on the Processes tab and click End task to close them.

4. Camera and Mouse Don’t Work When Playing Supraland

Erase the GameSettingsSave.sav File

This is a Supraland bug in which players can’t control the game’s camera with mouse. To fix that bug, try deleting Suprland’s GameSettingsSave.sav file. Players can do that in Windows 10 as follows.

1. First, close Supraland and Steam.
2. Press the Windows key + E keyboard shortcut.
3. Enter this path in File Explorer: C:Users<your name>AppDataLocalSupralandSavedSaveGames. Replace ‘<your name>’ with your actual user account name.
4. Select the GameSettingsSave.sav file, and press the Delete button.
5. Note that this bug can also be due to Comodo Internet Security that runs some software within a virtual container. Uninstalling that Comodo software, or at least turning off its auto-containment feature, might resolve Supraland’s camera and mouse bug.

The above resolutions can potentially fix four Supraland bugs or issues. Players can also further optimize Supraland with game booster software that will maximize system resources for the game.
