Legacy v436 - TO:AoT Fixed Pack

As of July 2022 this pack was replaced by the v469d pack as main download and it's not "recommended" to use this version anymore.

The legacy pack is created from mostly original v436 files and only an updated OpenGL renderer.

What is missing compared to the v469 Fixed Pack
• No Raw Mouse Input
• Lower Maximum FPS: 180 (Check FrameRateLimit below on this page)
• Older Audio/Video Renderers
• Various features and bug fixes from v469 patch

Reasons to use this old version
• If you prefer old mouse feeling
• TO3.5 ESE Compatible (No longer used since 2020)

Download - Legacy v436 Version

Note: This older v436 version has a tendency to crash more when entering a server or on map changes, use the 469 version for less crashes on servers with many addons.

Zip Version

7z Version

Installation and Starting

#1 - Extract the TacticalOps folder of the download into a directory such as "C:/" or "C:/Games/" and avoid the "Program Files" folders.

#2 - In the "TO Quick Join" you can directly join a server, or start TO from:
Menu -> Launch Tactical Ops 3.4
Menu -> Launch Tactical Ops 3.5

#3 - The "TO Launcher" first requires you to configure the Paths correctly in the settings.

#4 - Manually start any TO version directly from "/TO3#0/System/TacticalOps.exe".


If you're having trouble starting this download or any other version ask for support in the TO Discords.

Important Settings to Tweak

In the v436 version the default FrameRateLimit=180, you can change it to 120, 144, 180 up to the outer maximum of 200 in "TacticalOps.ini" under section [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice].

An alternative way is to use the ingame console command: set OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice FrameRateLimit ###

Or change it from the ingame "Preferences" menu, read the bottom of the Renderers & FrameLimit guide for instructions.

To avoid screen tearing use a FrameRateLimit that is divisible by the Refresh Rate of your monitor, or keep it on 180-200 for v436 and 300 for v469 for the lowest input latency.

Sometimes monitors have a different (usually higher) max resfresh rate on lower resolutions, a 60hz 1920x1080 monitor might run 70 or 75hz on 1024x768.

With the examples below keep in in the recommended limts of 180-200 on v436 and 300 on v469:
60hz - 60, 120, 180, 240, 300
70hz - 70, 140, 210, 280
75hz - 75, 150, 225, 300
120hz - 120, 240, 360
144hz - 144, 288
165hz - 165, 320
240hz - 240
360hz - 360

Surround Sound and 3D Surround are disabled by default, change these in the ingame Audio Settings. Restart your game for these settings to take effect.

In the v436 version DirectInput is enabled by default, but this also activates the ALT+TAB Crosshair bug.

Some players choose to disable DirectInput and use the MarkC Mouse Fix. This fixes the bad mouse input with DirectInput disabled.

The MarkC Mouse Fix is included in the Extra folder of the download, view the Mouse Tracking & Input guide for more information.

These days all servers use the ACE server addon, this requires you to click "Accept & Install" on its notifcation when first joining a multiplayer server.

If you have third party anti virus software installed on your PC, it could potentially block its installation resulting in getting kicked from the server.

To fix it manually install the ACE_v1.2e.zip (2.5MB) files into your TO installation, or White List the TacticalOps directory in your anti virus software.

Tip: Always check the console (~) as most times there will be a reason there why you got kicked from the server.
