New

  • Bots in versus. A versus match can now start with fewer than 4 players, and bots play the empty places. Bots walk the whole map, shoot enemies in sight, heal a partner who is down and never run out of ammo. To play without them, add ao2_versus_bots = false to settings\online.toml (every player of the match needs the same setting). Note that their ai is pretty basic and they will often stuck and shoot you with perfect accuracy. Might adjust this later.
  • Private versus match with friends. Inviting players to a Custom Match now works: before, the invited player could not connect to the host.
  • Brazilian Portuguese. The game's text, the port's menus, the achievements and the launcher are translated (ao2_game_language = pt, picked by itself on a Portuguese Windows). The voices stay English.
  • Version for CPUs without AVX2 (AVX1 version). The game now runs on processors without AVX2 (older Intel Core and AMD FX, for example); before, the installer stopped with an "illegal instruction" error. The launcher detects the CPU and downloads this version by itself (avx1-version.aot, about 25 MB). It is also the last row of Extras, AVX1 version: always on without AVX2, off by default otherwise. Turn it on to play online with a player whose CPU has no AVX2 - both of you then run the same build.
  • Co-op version check. The players window, the invites and the co-op lobby warn when the other player runs a different build of the game. Two different builds desync in co-op.

Fixed

  • Slow motion on a slow PC or with a 30 FPS cap. When the PC could not keep up with the game's simulation rate, the whole game ran in slow motion. Outside online play it now keeps its real speed.
  • Keyboard after moving the game folder. Without settings\mapping.toml only Enter and Esc worked. The default keys and mouse now work, and the log says the file is missing.
  • UI on screens wider than 16:9. On ultrawide monitors the menus, pictures and labels were drawn too big, the weapon dealers' portraits were stretched sideways, the weapon list lost its last item and the shop's gun and price were cut. The loading screen's tip was not shown at all. The UI is now laid out as on a 16:9 screen, and the mouse hits the weapon list and the main menu's Exit where they are drawn.
  • AVX2 detection on older Windows 10. Windows 10 before version 2004 always answered "no AVX2", and the launcher picked the slower build on every CPU. The launcher now checks the CPU itself.

Update: the launcher offers the update by itself. Or extract ArmyOfTwo-v1.4.0.zip over the old folder; your settings and saves are kept. Without AVX2, also extract avx1-version.aot (a zip) and rename the armyoftworecomp.exe inside to armyoftworecomp_compat.exe - or just let the launcher do it.

No game files included. You need your own copy of the game (Xbox 360, European release) and Title Update 2.

Online play: both players need to be on the same version, and both on the AVX1 version if one of them has no AVX2. Versus with bots: every player needs the same bot settings.
