Hello. There is now a beta branch for SH2, so I can try stuff out for the intrepid without risking stuff on the default game branch.
To try a beta version, right click SH2 in your library list, then "properties", "Betas" and choose a beta. Currently there is only the first one - 20,11,2025
(This has only just been added, so if now beta option is showing you might have to quit and restart Steam)
This build 20.11.2025 is an attempt to see if the main game can be made more stable, including losing general crashes and avoiding the loss of all sound bug. It also uses an advanced renderer which may help with game speed.
The trade off for this build is that *no Steam plugin versions will currently function*. This means no Steam achievements or statistics. I'm trying to see if it's possible to get around this, but if not it may be I have to give up Steam functions IF it means the game works more reliably.
I've had a couple of suggestions on how to fix this though, so I'll keep trying. So if you've had a lot of issues with crashes, please give this build a try - and let me know if it's still just as bad or indeed things have improved via the bug report on the in-game options screen or directly at [email protected]
