Q: Can I use my Steam copy of Advanced Warfare to play S1x?

A: You certainly can! A Steam copy of Advanced Warfare is the prefered way to play S1x. Read the Install Guide to learn how to use your Steam copy.

Q: On S1x, can I play with players on Steam or Steam players play with me?

A: S1x is entirely seperate from Steam services, so it is not possible to play with people playing on the Steam version of Advanced Warfare. You can, however, invite your Steam Advanced Warfare friends to install S1x, and then you'll be able to play together.

Q: Will S1x get me VAC banned?

A: The short answer is no. S1x is completely external to Steam and Steam Servers (You don't play with Steam users). It's impossible to get VAC banned. S1x players only play with fellow S1x players as the servers are completely seperate from Steam. You are at no risk of recieving a VAC ban.

Q: Does my Steam rank and stats carry over to S1x?

A: No. When you start S1x, you will be starting fresh. As stated above, S1x is external from Steam. So you will have a separate rank, classes, title, etc. When, and if, you go back to Steam Advanced Warfare, you will still have the same rank you had before in Steam. S1x does not alter this at all. However, you can always manually set your rank back to the level you were if you wish as this is allowed, or just use the command unlockstats to get max prestige level 50 everything unlocked.

Q: Why is my gaming laptop getting low FPS?

A: By default many gaming laptops use intergrated CPU graphics to preserve battery. It may be the case that you need to force S1x to use your dedicated graphics card.

1. Go to the NVIDIA Control Panel by right clicking on your desktop and clicking on "NVIDIA Control Panel".
2. In the default screen that pops up (it should be "manage 3D settings", and the "Program Settings" tab should be automatically selected), under "1. Select a program to customize:" hit the "Add" button.
3. From here, navigate to the folder where your S1x is installed.
4. Select S1x.exe and click Open.
5. Then, under "2. Select the preferred graphics processor for this program". Open the drop-down menu and select "High-performance NVIDIA processor".
6. Finally, hit Apply in the far bottom right corner, and the correct GPU should be used for the game.
