Why haven't anyone made a remake of System Shock 2 yet?

[6750a9f5a7487The Punisher]

I have been wanting to play this game for quite some time.
But I haven't got it, I only have the downloaded version from home of the underdogs.
And that version doesn't work!
But why haven't 2K released a Windows xp version of it yet?

[6750a9f5a7797The Brain]

Sorry, but 2K have no rights for System Shock 2 so there is absolute no way that 2K would make working XP version of it. And if they somehow aquire all rights, I highly doubt that they would do that anyway.

EA owns all rights.

This site is about all you need to make somewhat SS2 remake yourself using Kolya tool and various mods.

And I also highly doubt thta 2K Boston would have any interest in fixing it if they do still have the source code.

[6750a9f5a7b98Chandlermaki]

As 2k says, they wouldent make a System Shock 4 EA, because itwould be a stupid, scripted Shooter.

um... Chandler? Doubleposting to add a row of smilies? You're in a good mood, eh?
At least use the Edit button next time please.

As to OP's question: The version you have works on WinXP. First read the SS2 Technical FAQ. We might be able to help then with any unsolved problems.

I know next to nothing about that kind of stuff.

Sorry, it was an accident, I had the smiley thing open from another edit, and i kept clicking the shodan 1, because I thout Firefox was closed.

I know next to nothing about that kind of stuff.

And we nothing at all about your problem. Describe what you did and what happens.

Its like this.
I can get to the main menu, but when I have selected new game and chosen what diffculty to play in.
It just quits!

Have you read the readme that comes with the HOTU version?

I did.

This sounds like another video problem. Have you tried renaming LGVID.AX?
The game should start though without videos then.

Also make sure you have a folder named "current" in your install dir.

Hmmm.
Never tried that.
But I will.
But which file is it then?

[6750a9f5a8e93Kolya]

The file named "LGVID.AX".

[6750a9f5a908dThe Punisher]

The file named "LGVID.AX".

Okay.
But what should I rename it into?

[6750a9f5a9172Kolya]

Whatever, it doesn't matter.

[6750a9f5a93e4The Punisher]

Whatever, it doesn't matter.

So I can rename it into whatever I want?
I sure hope this works.

[6750a9f5a9717The Punisher]

Sorry.
But just as I told you I'm not really that good at this.

[6750a9f5a9828Kolya]

No problem, but I'm going to a party now. I'll see later what you have come up with. Cheers.

[6750a9f5a9a71The Punisher]

Right.
I'll give you a report on how it goes.

[6750a9f5a9b8cThe Punisher]

Bad news, Kolya.
It worked in the beginning.
But when I entered basic training and got to the part where you get to learn about using switches.
It just hang up.
