I'm trying to get this to run on the Steam Deck OLED. It will only run at 1280x720p in Desktop mode. If I try to set it to native (1280x800) the menu gets screwed up and nothing works. Having it run at 720p in desktop mode if better than nothing (and it looks wonderful) but you don't get the features of game mode. In game mode it seems to try to run it at 1280x800 no matter what I've set as the resolution in the properties tab or in the config files. I've tried several rmodes, I've tried all the menu mods. Finally I tried the base game with no mods and discovered the issue occurs with the base game (even on a fresh unmodified install). I can only conclude that the menu would have to be modified specifically for the steam decks 1280x800 resolution. Perhaps the creator of the mod could look into this? I am available for testing if required so please feel free to message me at: johnie89 [AT] gmail [.] com or johnie89 on twitter & discord.
Overkill is bugged, it works only the first time you load a level. If you start a level, die, load the game and start the level again Overkill won't be loaded.
I noticed it in "beyond the wall", when you start the level there's the guard robot behind the bars, if you die and load the game he's gone.
I have a problem more than anything with the shadows of the characters. The shadows of the characters look like clones that stand next to each other and then disappear when the angle changes. Is there any solution?:( I already tried changing the shadow to 3, 2 and 1 and it didn't solve it.
I'm trying to put a mod on the remaster of the original version of Alice, which comes with Madness Returns. And after installing the mod, every time I have the game loaded in windowed mode and at a resolution of 640x480. Whatever I write in config/autoexec. The line r_mode "-1" was also removed. But it doesn't seem to affect anything.
upd: with the default config/autoexec file game always run in fullscreen, but also in 640x480 resolution. It's very strange, because, if I understand it correctly, game must run in 1080p?
upd2: finally. I uninstalled the mod, change resolution in the original game, and noticed that the game adds the line r_mode "22" to the config file, which solves all the problems. So if you have a problem like mine, try changing r_mode "-1" to r_mode "22" in both config/autoexec.
hi! sorry i didn't respond sonner i know the mod doesn't work well with the version of madness it's not compatible well with it. but thank you!! i'll note what you just wrote in the description right now and bug report! i'm sure everyone will appreciate it!!
While this makes everything a lot bigger, the menus are completely messed up and the game looks very zoomed in. Did you change anything else other than r_mode and the resolution?
Just to clarify for anyone else that stumbles across this, here's how I got it to work:
You'll need to go to your save directory. In which case it will most likely be: Documents\My Games\American McGee's Alice Alternatively, you can open your File Explorer, and click 'Documents' on the left side to navigate.
Open the Config.cfg with notepad, and see what r_mode is set to. In my case, it was set to: r_mode "19"
After you locate your number, go to the modded Autoexe/Config.cfg files in the base directory as instructed by hArtKor0.
The Base Directory will be wherever you installed the Alice1 folder: Alice1\bin\base
Change the r_mode in both files to whatever number you found (Again, for me, I had to set them both to r_mode "19") and it should load up fine.
Personally I simply changed the resolution in-game. I don't know what "mod settings" this supposedly changes to default, because the game still looks just as modded to me. On my version of Windows 7 the r_mode changes didn't seem to help. -1 mode defaults to 640 resolution and 22 mode makes the game invisible and forces my mouse cursor to the top left corner of the screen. Alt-tabbing into the game doesn't do anything. So I just went with -1 mode and changed the resolution in the menu.

you will survive the horrifying bug,
I read about EA not wanting a new Alice game, some time ago...
yea, you can read about it on American's patreon, this is not the place to discuss it.
have you tried to install according to the readme?
I already tried changing the shadow to 3, 2 and 1 and it didn't solve it.
Once it's the original shadows it's only a circle on the bottom.

Edit: mode 24 fixed it for me
