B2recomp v0.2.10

on GitHub

B2recomp v0.2.10 makes updating simple: from now on you unzip a new version over your old B2recomp folder, and the launcher rebuilds only what changed. Your saves, settings and mods stay. The game itself plays exactly as in v0.2.9. As always, this download contains no game files: the game is built on your PC from your own dump.

Opening an issue on GitHub: it must be written in English and have b2recomp-report.zip attached (press Report... in the launcher). An issue opened without both will be closed promptly.

New

• Update by unzipping over your old folder. When B2recomp.exe starts after an update, it shows the build screen with your dump folder already filled in and "B2recomp was updated: press Build". Build redoes only what changed (about a minute or two), then the launcher opens with your settings as you left them.
• Your settings are never overwritten. The download now brings its default settings in config\defaults; they are used only when your own config\graphics.ini or config\controllers.ini is missing.
• This works when updating from v0.2.9 or older, too.

How to update from v0.2.x

1. Close B2recomp.
2. Unzip B2recomp-builder-3558192.zip to the same place as your old version, so that its B2recomp folder goes over your old B2recomp folder. When Windows asks, choose to replace the files.
3. Start B2recomp.exe, press Build, then Play.

New install

1. Unzip B2recomp-builder-3558192.zip into a new folder.
2. Start B2recomp.exe, choose your dump folder and press Build (about 5 minutes on a 16-thread PC).
3. When the build is done, choose your settings and press Play.

Windows SmartScreen may warn about B2recomp.exe because it is not signed: choose "More info", then "Run anyway".

Status

Tested on Windows: a v0.2.9 install updated to v0.2.10 by unzipping over it rebuilt in 1 min 13 s, with its settings, saves and mods unchanged. The game code is the same as in v0.2.9.

Reporting a problem

Press Report... in the launcher. It makes b2recomp-report.zip in the B2recomp folder with the logs and your PC's details (Windows version, CPU, graphics card and driver), nothing of the game. Never attach game files.
