Release list
v0.1.10
You need your own copy of WWE 2K14 for the Xbox 360. This download contains no game files: the launcher asks for
the files you copied from your own disc, or a disc image of it.
Install
- Download wwe2k14-recomp-v0.1.10.zip below and unzip it anywhere, e.g.
C:\Games\WWE2K14. - Start
wwe2k14_launcher.exe. Windows SmartScreen may warn because the program isn't signed: click More
info, then Run anyway. - The first-run wizard asks for your game files, checks them, finds your save and suggests settings for your PC.
- Click PLAY GAME, QUICK MATCH to start straight into a match, or 30 YEARS OF WRESTLEMANIA to
pick any match of that mode.
The full guide (copying your disc and your DLC, controls, settings, mods, reporting problems) is README.md inside the
zip.
What you need: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), a graphics card with Vulkan support, and your WWE 2K14 Xbox 360 disc
(version 0.0.0.2, no title update), copied to your PC. A controller is recommended.
What's new in v0.1.10
- For laptops and older graphics cards: a LIGHT renderer. Settings -> Graphics -> RENDERER: ACCURATE is the exact
Xbox 360 renderer (as before); LIGHT uses your graphics card's own render targets and blending, which should be much
lighter on integrated graphics. In our checks it draws the same picture (on the same replayed match, under 0.001% of
the pixels differ noticeably). The first-run setup picks LIGHT and 720p on integrated graphics. We have not been able
to test it on integrated graphics ourselves yet: please tell us how it runs. - AMD graphics cards (Windows): no more black match frames. AMD's Windows driver can't run the accurate renderer,
and the game fell back to an older path that showed mostly black frames in matches. It now uses the LIGHT renderer's
fixes there by itself. (Untested on a real AMD card so far: reports welcome.) - Uses far less CPU. The game used to keep up to three CPU cores fully busy just waiting (for the graphics card,
for the next frame). It now rests while it waits: about two cores less in a match, at the same frame rate. On a
laptop that power and heat goes to the graphics instead. (Advanced:--wwe2k14_low_power=falsebrings the old
behaviour back.) - FSR can't break a game any more. If AMD FSR can't run on a graphics card, the game turns it off by itself with a
message on screen and carries on (before, the picture could shake and the game hang at a loading screen), and the
launcher shows why. FSR is no longer offered on integrated graphics, which it does not support. - FRAME RATE 30 (Settings -> Display), for PCs that can't hold 60: below 60 the game runs in slow motion, so this
uses the game's own 30 fps mode instead (entrances and matches at a steady 30, at normal speed). The match timer
counts at half speed in this mode. - A true freeze for photo mode and CineCam. Freezing the scene now really stops it (wrestlers, crowd, effects)
instead of slowing it down a lot, and on release everything carries on from the same moment. In photo mode the
titantron and sound hold too; CineCam's freeze keeps them running. New for CineCam: freeze automatically at the start
of every entrance, and F8 outside a match opens a CineCam setup panel. - The game's log now says which graphics card it uses and which renderer path that card gets.
Known issues:
- CineCam's timeline is keyboard and mouse only for now (the controller still flies the camera in photo mode). There
is no undo: K at a key's time replaces that key. Clicking the timeline moves the camera to the shot's pose at that
time, so choose the time first, then fly. - CineCam's look-at framing has not been checked on ultrawide screens.
- 30 Years of WrestleMania: what the game does after you win a match you jumped into, and whether that marks it done in
your save out of order, has not been checked yet. - DLC: a package straight off a console has not been tried yet (extracted packs and packages made from them work). If
one doesn't show up, please send a report (launcher: Report a problem lists your packs, never their files). - Discord status needs an application id (Settings -> Game) until the project has its own.
- Our own menu items in the game (QUIT TO DESKTOP, GRAPHICS, PHOTO MODE) stay in English in every language.
- The LIGHT renderer, FRAME RATE 30 and the AMD fix are new and have not been tested on integrated graphics or AMD
cards by us yet. With FRAME RATE 30 the match timer (and anything else the game counts in frames) runs at half speed. - The in-game GRAPHICS screen has no RENDERER choice yet (the launcher only).
- CineCam's setup panel (F8 outside a match) and the automatic entrance freeze are new and lightly tested.

What's new in v0.1.9
- Fixed: the game crashing at start on PCs with Overwolf (an access violation, error 0xC0000005, before the title
screen). Overwolf's in-game overlay hooks into the game's graphics start-up and crashed there. The game now keeps
Overwolf's overlay out by itself; OBS game capture works as before. Thanks to the player who reported it on GitHub
with a problem report. (Advanced:--wwe2k14_vulkan_disable_layers=with nothing after it lets Overwolf back in.) - Launcher: the update check understands four-number versions such as v0.1.9.1, so small fixes can be offered as
updates too.

What's new in v0.1.8
- CineCam keyframed shots. With CINECAM on (Settings -> Game), press F8 in a match: besides the free camera there
is now a timeline along the bottom of the screen. Set the camera somewhere, press K, move the playhead, set it
somewhere else, press K again, and CineCam makes a smooth move between them.- Five separate tracks, each with its own keys: Move, Aim, Roll, Lens and Focus, so a long dolly, a zoom and a focus
pull can each have their own timing. The lens is shown as a focal length in mm (35 mm equivalent). - Moves ease in and out (per key: smooth, linear or hold, and how much it slows into the key); a constant-speed
option gives an even dolly glide. Zooms and focus pulls change at an even-looking rate, without overshoot. - Targets: look at a wrestler (with the subject placed anywhere in the frame, e.g. on a third), orbit around them
(a 270-degree orbit stays centred on them while they move), or keep the focus on them. A "pin" is a fixed point
instead, e.g. the titantron. - Freeze scene nearly stops the game while you design the move; Play previews it (also at half or quarter speed);
Take plays it from the start in step with the game, for recording. Drag keys in time, click one to edit it. - Keys: K key all tracks, Space play / pause, [ ] previous / next key, , and . one frame (Shift: one second),
Backspace delete the selected key. - Shots are saved in Documents\WWE 2K14\CineCam\shots. A saved shot can be used for a re-shoot of a recorded match.
- Five separate tracks, each with its own keys: Move, Aim, Roll, Lens and Focus, so a long dolly, a zoom and a focus
- Re-shoots: the first frame of every re-shoot clip used to show the game's own camera; clips now start on the
shot's first frame.
Known issues:
- CineCam's timeline is keyboard and mouse only for now (the controller still flies the camera in photo mode). There
is no undo: K at a key's time replaces that key. Clicking the timeline moves the camera to the shot's pose at that

What's new in v0.1.7
- 30 Years of WrestleMania, any match. Play -> 30 YEARS OF WRESTLEMANIA lists all 46 matches of the mode by era,
with the show, date, venue, title, match type, arena, who is in it and the objectives (read from your own game
files). PLAY MATCH starts the game and it goes to that match by itself after the title screen, the mode's own way:
its videos, story card, objectives and the match. Locked matches work too. From a command line:
wwe2k14.exe --wwe2k14_wm30=N(N from the list, 0-45). - AMD FSR 3 upscaling, on any graphics card. Settings -> Graphics -> Upscaling (and the game's own GRAPHICS
screen) now offer FSR NATIVE (anti-aliasing at your resolution), FSR QUALITY (1440p drawn, shown as 4K) and FSR
PERFORMANCE (720p drawn, shown as 1440p), with the HUD kept sharp as with DLSS. AMD's runtime ships with the game. - Texture filtering. Settings -> Graphics -> Texture filtering (and the game's own GRAPHICS screen): STANDARD (as
before), 8X or 16X anisotropic filtering for sharper floors, mats and ramps seen at an angle. Changes at once. - Photo mode (Settings -> Game -> Photo mode; off by default). In a match pick PHOTO MODE in the pause menu, press
F10, or click and hold both sticks:
the scene nearly stops, the camera is yours (left stick move, right stick look, triggers up / down, bumpers zoom;
W/A/S/D, Q/E and the right mouse button on the keyboard), the HUD is hidden and depth of field is on (X on / off,
D-pad up / down focus, left / right the sharp zone, Y automatic focus). A or Enter saves a PNG to
Pictures\WWE 2K14. B or F10 again to leave. - Your own entrance music. Mods -> pick a wrestler -> Assign music (MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, WMA or AAC). In normal
play their theme is replaced by your track (replays keep the original). Needs USE MY VIDEOS on. - Discord status (Settings -> Game; off by default): shows the match (the wrestlers, the match type, the time) or
"In the menus" in your Discord status. Needs the Discord app running and an application id. - Ultrawide (Settings -> Display -> Aspect: AUTO; off by default): on a 21:9 or 32:9 screen you see more of the
arena at the sides; the HUD and menus stay a centred 16:9. - DLC wrestlers in Quick Match. With your DLC on, the wrestler pickers (and Random) include the wrestlers of every
pack that is switched on, named from your own DLC files. A match with a wrestler whose pack is off doesn't start
(the launcher says which pack to switch on).
Known issues:
- 30 Years of WrestleMania: what the game does after you win a match you jumped into, and whether that marks it done in
your save out of order, has not been checked yet. - DLC: a package straight off a console has not been tried yet (extracted packs and packages made from them work). If
one doesn't show up, please send a report (launcher: Report a problem lists your packs, never their files). - Discord status needs an application id (Settings -> Game) until the project has its own.

v0.1.6
You need your own copy of WWE 2K14 for the Xbox 360. This download contains no game files: the launcher asks for
the files you copied from your own disc, or a disc image of it.
Install
- Download wwe2k14-recomp-v0.1.6.zip below and unzip it anywhere, e.g.
C:\Games\WWE2K14. - Start
wwe2k14_launcher.exe. Windows SmartScreen may warn because the program isn't signed: click More
info, then Run anyway. - The first-run wizard asks for your game files, checks them, finds your save and suggests settings for your PC.
- Click PLAY GAME, or QUICK MATCH to start straight into a match.
The full guide (copying your disc and your DLC, controls, settings, mods, reporting problems) is README.md inside the
zip.
What you need: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), a graphics card with Vulkan support, and your WWE 2K14 Xbox 360 disc
(version 0.0.0.2, no title update), copied to your PC. A controller is recommended.
What's new in v0.1.6
- Your own DLC ("bring your own packs"). Put the DLC from your console in a folder called
dlcnext to your game
files, or pick a folder in Settings -> Game -> Downloadable content. Both kinds work: the packages exactly as they sit
on the console's drive (e.g. copied with FATXplorer fromContent\0000000000000000\545408B2\00000002\), or packs you
have extracted (one folder per pack). They are read in place: nothing is copied or changed.- Settings shows each pack by its own name, with its size and an ON / OFF switch; the Play page says how many are on.
- The DLC wrestlers are under DOWNLOADED SUPERSTARS on the wrestler select screen, with their entrances and
titantrons; the Accelerator unlocks the whole roster. - A save made with DLC on needs those packs: with one switched off, the game says the save can't be used. Switch the
pack back on and everything is there again. - Replays remember which packs were on, and say so instead of playing when one is missing.
- Damaged files, packs for other games and duplicates are listed with the reason and left out; they can't stop the
game from starting.
- NVIDIA DLSS / DLAA need no setting up: Settings -> Graphics simply uses the NVIDIA files included with the game
(a "Use other files..." button picks another folder), and a folder chosen earlier that no longer has the files falls
back to the included ones. - Fixed: a folder typed with a
\at the end in Settings could garble the game's start-up options.
Known issues:
- DLC: tested with extracted packs and with packages made from them; a package straight off a console has not been
tried yet. If one doesn't show up, please send a report (launcher: Report a problem lists your packs, never their
files). - DLC wrestlers are not in Quick Match yet (use PLAY GAME and the game's own menus).
- Our own menu items in the game (QUIT TO DESKTOP, GRAPHICS) stay in English in every language.
- FSR (upscaling on non-NVIDIA cards) is not offered yet.

(version 0.0.0.2, no title update), copied to your PC. A controller is recommended.
What's new in v0.1.5
- A new look for the launcher, in the style of the game's own menus: the red page band with PLAY, SETTINGS, MODS
and ABOUT, the game's own menu lettering (read from your game files), slanted buttons, and the logo. - Quick Match has every match type from the game's PLAY menu (58), laid out like the game: one on one, two on two
(tag, tornado and elimination tag in every variant, mixed tag), triple threat and fatal 4-way variants, 6-man
(battle royal, Elimination Chamber, Hell in a Cell, ladder, tag), handicap (incl. gauntlet) and backstage brawls.
The Royal Rumble still needs "My saved setups". - New settings: language (English, Deutsch, Français, Español, Italiano), graphics card (the game now picks your
dedicated card by itself), fullscreen or windowed, and frame rate 60 / 120 / Uncapped (your monitor's refresh
rate), in the launcher and in the game's Options -> GRAPHICS. - The first-run wizard lets you set language, graphics card, resolution and frame rate before your first game.
- An About page with the project's link, the credits and the licences.
- Mods: the trons grid shows two columns, and the titles have a grid view too.
- The launcher checks for updates: when a newer full release is out, an UPDATE button appears at the bottom of
the red band and opens the release page. Settings -> Game -> Check for updates turns it off.
Known issues:
- The graphics-card choice is new: if a laptop still starts on its built-in GPU, please send a report (launcher:
Report a problem). - Our own menu items in the game (QUIT TO DESKTOP, GRAPHICS) stay in English in every language.
- FSR (upscaling on non-NVIDIA cards) is not offered yet.
