[GUIDE] How to force Seaside Mystery (or any Unity game) to run with DirectX 11 or OpenGL using PowerShell


Hi everyone!
I had issues running Seaside Mystery, and by default, it was running with low FPS (20 FPS). I found a solution that boosted my FPS up to 120-130, so I wanted to share this step-by-step guide for anyone else struggling.


Here’s how you can force the game to run with DirectX 11 or OpenGL:

► Steps to run with DirectX 11:
  1. Go to the folder where Seaside Mystery.exe is located.
  2. Hold Shift and right-click inside the folder background.
  3. Select “Open PowerShell window here” (or "Open Command Window here" if using cmd).
  4. In the PowerShell window, type the following command and press Enter:
    powershell
& ".\Seaside Mystery.exe" -force-d3d11

This will force the game to run using DirectX 11.

► Steps to run with OpenGL:

If you want to try OpenGL instead, use this command:

& ".\Seaside Mystery.exe" -force-glcore

Optional tip: Create a shortcut
If you don't want to use PowerShell every time:

1. Right-click on Seaside Mystery.exe and select Create Shortcut.

2. Right-click the shortcut → Properties.

3. In the Target field, add the command at the end:

"D:\Path\To\Seaside Mystery.exe" -force-d3d11

Tip: You can change -force-d3d11 to -force-glcore if you prefer to launch the game with OpenGL instead!
Click Apply and use the shortcut to launch the game every time with your chosen graphics API.
It doesn't work for me, it stays in the background and slows down my PC. Please help.

Let me ask you a question.
Is there a version with a reduced capacity?
Can't UNITY be scaled down?
Assuming you're referring to the amount of space it takes up on your drive, not really. It's already nearly half the size of the previous version - 0.29 was about 16.5GB and 0.30 is 8.91GB.

Both have compressed assets too, which would easily double or possibly tripple the size if those assets weren't compressed down prior to release.

In case anyone else gets stuck on this task, I was tearing my hair out! Go to the pool at 2pm (Monday - Friday) if Brenda isn't on the couch, go into the living room then back to the pool. Repeat this until she's on the couch.

I found a loophole to run the game without replacing "GameAssembly.dll":
You need to create an empty file "System.smg" on the path: "C:\Users\<%USERNAME%>\AppData\LocalLow\KsT Games\Seaside Mystery\"

Or just run this command in the console:


If the file already exists, you need to delete the file itself or clear the contents of the file.

I can save the game, but not load it.

I think KsT is not stupid, he knows that his game is being passed around like a hooker at a New Year's Eve party.
Well, he is not alone with that "problem". Media all around is pirated. A few years ago, the recipients of pirated shows cooled down, because it wasn't that expensive and one didn't need that many different services.
And imho that's the only way to "defeat" piracy, by having better service than with the pirated product.
DRMs with adult games probably don't have the desired effect of "This product can't be pirated, so I need to buy it". It mostly has the opposite effect of "Now I don't want to give this dev any money at all, because he uses his time on useless stuff (and made me annoyed)".
Devs should just utilize this and take it as a chance for free marketing and maybe getting some money out of it after people have had a good time with it.
