OpenInfestation v0.1.0

OpenInfestation is an open-source Rust reimplementation of Infestation (Frontier Developments, 2000), rebuilt from reverse engineering of the original executable. First public build, a pre-release.

You need an original copy of Infestation. These archives contain no original game data, executables, video or music; the launcher finds your installation and checks it against known retail checksums.

What's in it

• The whole single-player campaign, from the title video through every world.
• Renderers: OpenGL and Software play retail's game exactly; Vulkan is the remaster (path tracing on ray-tracing GPUs; modern sky, clouds, water, rain and reflections on any Vulkan GPU). Automatic picks OpenGL and falls back to Software.
• Upscalers under Vulkan are offered per GPU (only what yours can run is listed). The Windows zip bundles their runtimes beside the executable: NVIDIA DLSS and DLSS Ray Reconstruction 310.9.16 (nvngx_dlss.dll, nvngx_dlssd.dll, through the port's inf_ngx.dll), Intel XeSS 2.0.2 (libxess.dll) and AMD FSR 3.1 from the FidelityFX SDK 1.1.4 (amd_fidelityfx_vk.dll). Each stays under its vendor's licence; the texts are in THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.html and DISCLOSURE.md. The Linux build has no upscalers.
• Remastered.pak: the remastered ambience, weather and crystal sounds under Vulkan. Copy it into your Infestation folder (beside PreLoad.dat). Its sources and terms are in DISCLOSURE.md; please don't extract and redistribute the sounds.
• Network play is not working yet: the menus and protocol are there, but a network game does not play correctly.

Platforms

• Windows x64: OpenInfestation.exe (unsigned; SmartScreen may warn).
• Linux x64: openinfestation, SDL2 built in. Tested on CachyOS under KDE Plasma (Wayland).
