Star Fox Adventures is an action-adventure video game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube as part of the Star Fox series. It was released in North America on 23 September 2002, Japan on 27 September 2002, Australia on 15 November 2002 and Europe on 22 November 2002. It was the final game developed by Rare for a Nintendo home video game system, before the company was acquired as a first-party developer for Microsoft's Xbox division. It is the third game in the series, succeeding Star Fox 64.

Problems

Speed

Game will run slowly in open areas (read: areas with lots and lots of polygons).

Misc. Errors

• When using the D3D9 plugin, the game will crash/freeze right after the Nintendo logo; the OpenGL plugin causes temporary "freezing" at this point. The former can be fixed using a custom patch (see below); the D3D11 plugin causes neither issue.
• OpenGL plugin causes texture corruption if Native resolution option disabled.
• Occasional FIFO overflow errors given. Set Watermark Tightness to 200 under game's properties to (almost completely) fix.

Configuration

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.

Game Properties

Config	Setting	Notes
Patches	Custom	When using the D3D9 plugin, add patch "0x8004A9F8:dword:0x60000000" under game's properties. (Type is dword, the offset is 8004A9F8, and the value is 60000000.) Not needed for D3D11 and OpenGL plugins.

**Default configuration should work fine. Try enabling OpenCL if your graphics card supports it.
