PES 2013 on PC

The Windows edition is the only Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 you can point settings.exe at. It is also the edition community servers quote when they say “patch 1.04”. Everything else on this site that mentions a container, a season pack or a hosts file assumes this build, or says when it does not.

What Konami printed in July 2012

ModdingWay republished Konami’s 24 July 2012 press list. DirectX 9.0c is the graphics line they named.

Windows 10 and Windows 11 do not appear in that list. A Windows Report roundup covers crashes on those systems for several late PES releases, including 2013. I describe the situation as “unsupported, and widely written about”, which is weaker than “Konami supports it” and stronger than “it will not launch”. There is no later Konami statement that adds Windows 11. The company stopped updating this title years ago.

Can this machine run it?

Compare the exact components, graphics capabilities and operating system; a recent purchase date is not a compatibility test.

settings.exe is the launcher Konami shipped beside the match executable. Resolution, including 1920×1080, is chosen there before the match starts. Widescreen is a toggle in that tool, not a mod you have to invent. I have not measured which exact windowed modes survive on Windows 11, so I am not listing a safe refresh rate.

Disc and an old digital install are the two historical ways this SKU was sold. In 2026 the Steam store search returns nothing, and app 221430 does not open a buy page. Uptodown’s 1 GB zip is the demo. A Winlator-oriented repack is described around 2 GB. An ISN note calls the original master about 5 GB. Pick the number that belongs to the file in front of you.

PC is the version with settings.exe and the 1.04 patch community servers name.

Master League, Become a Legend, exhibition matches, the UEFA Champions League and Copa Libertadores modes are on this SKU, the same set Wikipedia lists for the main console editions. Online against Konami is gone. ThirteenServer’s connect page is the living substitute, and it wants 1.04 specifically. A season patch that replaces that patch belongs to a different server. Read the online page before you stack files.

Questions

Does settings.exe still matter?

Yes. It is how this PC build chooses resolution and widescreen before launch. Phone containers are a different menu.

Will it run on Windows 11?

Konami’s list stops at Windows 7. Community guides describe fixes. That is not an official support promise.
