# Gears of War: Judgment for PC
A native Windows build of **Gears of War: Judgment** (Xbox 360, People Can Fly, 2013), made by
statically recompiling the original game code to x64 and running it on an emulated Xbox 360
graphics and system layer (the ReXGlue SDK).
It is not an emulator running the game code: the game's PowerPC program is translated to C++ ahead of
time and compiled into a normal Windows executable. On top of that this project adds
a keyboard and mouse scheme with proper mouse look, an unlockable frame rate, SMAA and FSR
image processing, automatic quality selection and a number of fixes. See docs/FEATURES.md.
> **This repository and its releases contain no game data.** You need your own copy of
> Gears of War: Judgment for the Xbox 360. Nothing here is affiliated with or endorsed by

**Status: early release.** The single-player campaign boots and plays, but testing so far has
mostly covered the early part of it. Multiplayer and online features are not supported. Please read
Known issues before reporting a problem.
## Download and play
1. Open the **Releases** page of this repository and download the latest
 `GearsOfWarJudgment-PC- .zip`.
2. Unzip it into a folder you can write to (not `Program Files`). It contains two programs:
 - **`GearsOfWarJudgment.exe`**: the game, one self-contained file.
 - **`Graphics Settings.exe`**: a settings window; keep it next to the game.
3. Have your game files ready: the folder from your own disc that contains `default.xex` and the
 `GearGame` folder. Only the retail version is supported (title ID `4D530A26`).
4. Double-click `GearsOfWarJudgment.exe`. The first time, a window asks for that game folder. It is
 remembered, so you are only asked once. (If you put the game exe inside the game folder, or the
 game folder next to it, nothing is asked.)
That is all: no installer, nothing else to download, no extra runtime. The first start takes a few
seconds longer because the exe unpacks its files into `%LOCALAPPDATA%\GearsOfWarJudgmentPC\bin`.
Your settings, saves and logs are kept in the folder you put the exe in.
To change graphics settings before playing, start **`Graphics Settings.exe`**. It has quality level,
texture filtering, anti-aliasing, FSR, frame limit, mouse sensitivity and more,
and a **Play** button. The same settings are in the game under **F4**.
### Requirements
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
- A DirectX 12 graphics card. The quality is chosen from your card automatically
 (see Quality). It was developed and tested on an
 NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti and **nothing else**; AMD, Intel and handheld GPUs use the same code but are
 untested.
- 8 GB of RAM or more (the game itself uses about 3 to 4 GB). The game files are roughly 7 GB; the
 cache adds a few hundred MB.
- A reasonably fast CPU. The game is limited by the processor, not the graphics card (see
 Known issues).
