Download removed: this release is superseded by v1.1.0 - SCORE CALCULATION THPS 1 (always on in the classic career's THPS 1 levels), PHYSICS ORIGINAL THPS 2 PS1 and frame pacing on 120 / 180 / 240 Hz displays. Only the newest release keeps its download; see CHANGELOG.md.

A new setup window, a reworked soundtrack menu and a MANUALS switch.
Full list: CHANGELOG.md.
Download, update and Proton / Wine notes: README.

New

  • Setup window: start THPS 2X Recomp.exe in an empty folder, pick your disc image and the install folder, then
    Go - it builds the game there and Go turns into Play. Install folders with spaces work.
  • Vulkan 1.3 check: without a Vulkan 1.3 graphics card the setup and the game now tell you so in a message box
    instead of failing silently.
  • MANUALS ON / OFF (OPTIONS -> GENERAL OPTIONS -> GAMEPLAY): with OFF there are no manuals or nose manuals and
    no manual points - as in THPS 1.
  • Pause menu -> SOUND OPTIONS: SOUNDTRACK steps through every source (game music, all your albums, combined, each
    album) and PLAYBACK MODE switches IN ORDER / SHUFFLE, both at once and saved.

Changed

  • SOUNDTRACKS is now in GENERAL OPTIONS, right after CAREER MODE, as one list: the source, then PLAYBACK MODE
    (PLAY IN ORDER / SHUFFLE). A saved setting from an older version is converted.
  • PLAY IN ORDER goes on with the next song at a new level and at RETRY instead of starting over.
  • GAMEPLAY is its own list in GENERAL OPTIONS (180 SPIN TAPS, BIG DROP, WALL BAIL, MANUALS).
  • Boot animation: the README conversion keeps your video at 1080p and 60 fps.

Notes

  • Updating: keep your saves\ folder (see the README).
  • Requirements: a graphics card with Vulkan 1.3 (see the README).
  • Known: Linux via Proton / Wine is best effort.
