StS2 Mobile v0.2.335 - Mod Selector Preview

This prerelease is for Android players and testers who want to try the current mod-selector path and help validate Steam Cloud, branch switching, and save compatibility.

Download

Use the ARM64 APK:

StS2Launcher-v0.2.335-mod-selector-deps-cloud-marker-debug-arm64-v8a.apk

SHA-256:

Package:

This is a local debug/test-channel prerelease, not final release-candidate signoff.

What Changed

  • Adds a first-class Mods section on the main launcher play screen.
  • Adds launcher-owned Android mod selection state.
  • Adds separate vanilla and modded launch behavior.
  • Loads zero Android mods in vanilla mode.
  • Loads selected enabled mods in modded mode.
  • Handles dependency propagation and launch order for selected mods.
  • Keeps Steam Cloud Push locked for active modded-save risk states.
  • Adds selector evidence capture and review scripts.

Current Validation

Validated on a physical ARM64 Android device:

  • Vanilla launch: playMode=vanilla, zero scanned mod roots, zero enabled mods.
  • Modded launch: BaseLib, Quick Restart 2, and Vanilla and Modded Saves Merger selected and loaded.
  • Disabled SavesMerger route: SavesMerger disabled/skipped, game reached main menu with two loaded mods.
  • No NativeFallback route or fatal crash signatures in focused logs.
  • Steam Cloud Push was not run in any validation scenario.

Mod Support Status

Mod support is experimental but now real enough for targeted testing.

Workshop discovery can find subscribed items, and supported staged mods can load through the Android runtime mod-loader path. Some Workshop items are still exposed by Steam only as legacy UGC handles without a direct Android-usable content source. Those items may need manual import.

The highest-priority mod to test is Vanilla and Modded Saves Merger, because save continuity is likely to decide whether modded Android play is useful for most players.

Steam Cloud Safety

  • Pull from Steam Cloud is the safer first action.
  • Push to Steam Cloud is never automatic.
  • Manual Push remains guarded because it can overwrite Steam Cloud saves.
  • Push is locked while active modded-save risk states are present.

Known Issues

  • Workshop/mod UX is still being polished.
  • Some subscribed Workshop items may show as needing manual import.
  • SavesMerger needs broader real-save compatibility reports.
  • Samsung/One UI layout and login behavior still need current-version tester reports.
  • Startup/loading speed and diagnostics are active hardening targets.

Useful Test Reports

Please use the focused GitHub issue templates for:

  • crash or startup failures,
  • Steam login or Steam Cloud problems,
  • game download or branch switching problems,
  • mod loading and save-merger behavior,
  • device compatibility results.

Do not publish Steam credentials, Steam Guard codes, tokens, or unsanitized logs.
