Pes 2013 Vram 128mb Fix May 2026

Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 (PES 2013) can crash, stutter, or refuse to run properly on modern systems or PCs with limited graphics memory (VRAM). A common scenario is running the game on systems reporting only 128 MB of VRAM (either truly low-end GPUs or misdetected/virtualized GPU memory), which causes texture problems, black/white screens, missing shaders, or performance issues. This write-up explains causes and offers multiple fixes so the game can run acceptably on systems with 128 MB VRAM or on systems where PES incorrectly detects VRAM as 128 MB.

Upon installation, many players—particularly those running Windows 7, 8, or 10—faced a perplexing issue. The game would launch, the Konami logo would flicker, and then... darkness. A black screen. Or, the game would launch in an unplayable window, locked at the lowest possible resolution, with settings grayed out.

Perplexed players would check their system specs. They had 2GB, 4GB, or even 8GB of VRAM on modern GPUs. Yet, inside the game’s configuration utility (settings.exe), the drop-down menu for Resolution was locked, and the VRAM detection often read a measly 128MB.

Navigate to Documents\KONAMI\Pro Evolution Soccer 2013\. Open settings.dat with Notepad. You'll see codes. Change:

The most elegant solution is using Kitserver, a modding tool created by Juce & Robbie. While famous for adding new kits and faces, its core module, kitserver.cfg, can force the game to ignore VRAM checks. Pes 2013 Vram 128mb Fix

Step 1: Download Kitserver for PES 2013
Search for "Kitserver 13.4.0" (the final stable version). Avoid scam sites; stick to known modding forums like Evo-Web or PES-Patch.

Step 2: Extract to your PES 2013 Root Folder
Your root folder is where pes2013.exe lives (e.g., C:\Program Files (x86)\Pro Evolution Soccer 2013\). Extract the kitserver13 folder here.

Step 3: Locate the Config File
Navigate to kitserver13 > Open config-sample.txt or create a new kitserver.cfg file.

Step 4: Add the VRAM Override
Using Notepad, paste the following lines: Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 (PES 2013) can crash,

[kserv]
debug = 0
gdb = 0
[afs2fs]
img.dir = "example-root"
[lod]
enable = 1
force.lod = 0
[vram]
enable = 1
size = 2048

Crucial line: enable = 1 and size = 2048. This tricks the game into believing you have 2GB (2048MB) of VRAM.

Step 5: Run the Loader
Inside kitserver13, double-click manager.exe. Select your pes2013.exe from the dropdown and click "Attach". You should see "Kitserver 13 installed successfully."

Step 6: Launch via the Manager
Always launch the game using manager.exe (or the shortcut it creates) rather than the original EXE. The VRAM warning will vanish.
