As with all PC titles, the first and most important step is to ensure your PC meets the minimum system requirements to run the game. To do this use this PC Game System Requirements Q&A Search link which will display a list of all supported PC titles Minimum System Requirements.
This website < www.srtest.com > will run a system check for you to determine whether your hardware is sufficient to play a particular game. This is not a Midway site or service, however, the information is often helpful in pinpointing any deficiencies with your current computer hardware.
For more general information on a title you can select your game title from Category 2 (then click "GO") on the Q&A Search page to display all knowledge items for that game.

Stranglehold Known Issues
- Stranglehold 1.1 Patch notes and download links.
- No in-game text chat feature - This is a misprint in the manual; this feature is not included in the PC release of Stranglehold.
- QWERTY & AZERTY Keyboards and Control Issues
- Black Screen or Blue Screen at launch, at game load/resume, or when changing resolutions.
- Problems after remapping arrow keys The arrow keys’ default assignment is to turn the camera while taking cover, and unfortunately this function cannot be
remapped. If you are using a number pad, we recommend turning on NumLock and assigning the movement keys to 8,4,6, and 2.
- Stranglehold for the PC does not support gamepads, joysticks, or controllers. Gameplay is through the keyboard and mouse only. Based on information found at: http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/AboutGFW/Pages/gamesForWindows.aspx Midway Support has had reports of some confusion from end users.
- Please be assured that Microsoft granted Midway the Games for Windows® designation for Stranglehold (PC). Customer Support would like to offer our understanding of the issue:
- If the PC game includes controller support—then Xbox 360™ controllers must be supported.
- Adjustable audio options are the volume level of Effects, the volume level of Music and what Audio card to use (if you had multiple audio cards installed).
- 1360x768 is not a supported resolution due to menu interface and HUD problems in this display mode. Additionally, DVI cables may be required to display certain resolutions depending on your hardware. Not all resolutions are available with VGA monitor cables.
