TimeSplitters: Future Perfect PC v0.5.0-story-coop-beta.1 for Windows 10/11 x64.

This is an experimental PC port. Original US Xbox game files are required and are not included.

Game channel: Story Co-op Beta Preview. Included Stable baseline: v0.4.0

This build does not include the latest Stable release, v0.4.1.

Opt-in test build. Features and save/network compatibility may change. Review Known issues before testing.

Story Co-op Beta 1

Repacked again 2026-11-01: Restores the Story lobby heading and thumbnail, mission/difficulty selection, Back navigation and full main-menu return. The version flag now preserves the original Story co-op menu behavior. Local host/guest testing covered these menus and the first mission's intro, firearm handoff, synchronized movement and firing. If you already installed beta.1, download and reinstall this corrected package while preserving Data, Settings, Saves and Textures; the unchanged version number will not appear as a newer automatic update. All peers must use this corrected build.

This Windows preview adds experimental Online Story co-op for up to four players, focused on the first mission, Time to Split. Open Story, choose Online, connect to the same directory service, and join the host's match. All players must run this exact version with matching game content.

This build includes the recent main-branch updates and the multiplayer improvements tested during Story co-op development:

• More consistent guest NPC facing, smoother animation, retained corpses and replicated ragdolls.
• Smoother dropped-weapon movement and physics, with weapon drop and pickup synchronization fixes.
• Improved first-mission explosions, barricade debris, splitter camouflage and player synchronization.
• Lobby navigation, level thumbnails, rewards, game-over/rejoin handling and checkpoint/level-transition repairs.
• Sniper encounter staging now transports all players and stops guests at the marine before the cutscene.

Known limits

A guest can still briefly freeze again after the sniper cutscene. Movement returns after a few seconds; this issue is deferred. Story co-op remains experimental, and other missions have not been validated. Automatic checks do not establish complete mission playability; please report remaining gameplay and synchronization problems.

The new Story Local/Online chooser is enabled only in game versions containing story-coop. Stable versions retain the original Story entry while receiving the shared Online multiplayer fixes. Native Mac Story transport is not included in this Windows preview.

Launchers with Story beta grouping show this release under Story Co-op Preview; older launchers show the separate Story Co-op Beta Preview (story-coop-beta) track. Both are separate from general Beta. Enhanced textures are an optional separate download; existing textures, saves and settings are preserved.
