Game Controls & Settings

Game Controls

Like other games, Alicia Online allows you to customize your game controls. Press 8 or click the gear icon to open Settings, then select the Control tab. Many entries have a Primary and Secondary key, so you can keep WASD and arrow bindings side by side. Click the box, press the key you prefer, and the launcher will update it immediately.

Game Settings

Every tab in the Settings window changes a different part of Alicia Online. Explore each tab below to learn what every slider, button, and checkbox does, then tweak them until the game looks and feels right.

1. Screen

   Resolution & Screen Mode

   In this tab, you can change the resolution of your game and decide which screen mode you prefer to play on. Everything is straightforward - if you are new, test the available “Screen Mode” options and verify which resolution works best for your laptop or desktop. If you use a wider monitor, the Full Screen option will cut off the top and bottom of the image because Alicia Online does not support extra-wide ratios, so borderless windowed mode is safer.

   

2. Graphics

   Texture & Effect Quality

   Here you change the graphics quality of the game. If you choose “Effects” on a very old PC/laptop, it might look worse or run poorly, but that should not be a problem if your hardware can run modern AAA titles - Alicia Online is very easy to run. Pick the texture quality that matches your system.

   

3. Sounds

   Music & Effect Volume

   Choose the volume you like for background music or other in-game sounds. Play around and see what suits you best. You can control the music volume and game effect sounds separately - I personally keep both pretty low.

   

4. Controls

   Primary & Secondary Bindings

   Configure any in-game control directly inside this tab. The game already sets defaults, but you can change them at any time. Click on the box and press the specific key you wish to use. More detailed information about the default controls is listed in the section above.

   

5. Micros

   Custom Messages

   Micros let you set up custom messages that can be used during a race or anywhere inside Alicia Online using the numbered keys. They are fully customizable, just have fun - but do not spam them, because repeated messages can be irritating for others.

   

6. Community

   Privacy & Inbox

   Modify your privacy appearance inside the game by choosing whether to show people your age or gender - please do not use it for doggy stuff. You can also disable or enable messages from people outside your friend list.

   

7. Other

   Recording & Mouse Speed

   Choose how to record using the in-game recording feature. Take a look around this tab and see which options work best for you. The default recording shortcut is the F12 key. The bar below the recording settings lets you customize the in-game mouse speed.
