TimeSplitters 2 Native PC Port 1.0.1 – now on Windows

The PS2 classic as a native PC game – no emulator at runtime. Windows, Linux and Steam Deck. You bring your own disc image (USA, SLUS-203.14); the launcher turns it into your build in a few minutes.

New in 1.0.1

  • Windows release. The start problem of the 1.0.0 Windows build is fixed. The first story level was played through on a real Windows PC at 60 FPS without a single error.
    • Starts with Direct3D 11, falls back to Vulkan once if needed and remembers the choice
    • Setup also works without OpenGL (Remote Desktop, virtual machines)
    • Own settings folder (%APPDATA%\ts2-recomp), so an installed PCSX2 cannot interfere
    • If anything goes wrong: build\spielen.log + build\bridge.log show exactly where – please attach them to an issue
  • Widescreen HUD: ammo, timers and counters now sit at the edges of the 16:9 picture. Menus, loading screens and centred messages stay where they belong (TS2_HUD_RAND=0 brings back the centred 4:3 HUD).
  • Sniper scope in 16:9: frame, crosshair and health bars line up.
  • Story co-op split screen in 16:9: no black bar on the left any more.
  • The PCSX2 start messages ("patches.zip", "Controller 1 has no input bindings") are gone.

Install

  • Windows 10/11: download TS2-Recomp-1.0.1-windows-x86_64.zip, extract it into a new folder, run TS2-Recomp.bat. Windows may warn about an unsigned app: "More info" → "Run anyway".
  • Linux / Steam Deck: download TS2-Recomp-1.0.1-linux-x86_64.tar.xz, extract, run ./TS2-Recomp.sh (Deck: add TS2-SteamDeck.sh to Steam, see docs/STEAM_DECK.md).
  • Updating from 1.0.0: extract into a new folder and set it up once with your disc (about three minutes).

Known issues

  • Siberia: the snow haze looks busier than on the PS2 at high resolutions (a softer option is being tuned)
  • MapMaker in 16:9: "Item" in the editor header is cut off, ghost tiles left of the tile picker (already in 1.0.0)
  • Running the Windows package under Wine/Proton: Direct3D 11 crashes inside Wine's wined3d – on Linux use the Linux package
  • Mouse play: see docs/MOUSE.md
  • Full list: docs/KNOWN_ISSUES.md

Special thanks to Lowkas for testing build after build on his Windows PC until it finally ran.
