WWE '12 PC v0.9.0-beta: custom music, keyboard typing in Create a Story, a lot of new WWE Universe options, the graphics options built into the game's own menus, and many freeze and crash fixes.
⚠️ No game data included: you need your own copy of WWE '12 for Xbox 360.
New
- 🎵 Custom music for created wrestlers: drop your tracks (mp3, m4a, aac, wma, wav, flac) in the
musicfolder and pick them where the game chooses entrance themes. They play on the entrance, the post-match replay and the victory ceremony. Volume in the launcher's MUSIC page. - ⌨️ Keyboard typing in the game's letter grids (Create a Story dialogue, CAW names...).
- 🎮 PlayStation button icons detected automatically with a DualShock 4 / DualSense (plug it in before starting the game).
- 🖥️ OPTIONS > GRAPHICS now uses the game's own menus (DISPLAY / GRAPHICS / ADVANCED pages) with the same settings as the launcher: internal resolution, borderless window, vertical sync, frame limit, texture sharpness, crowd, shadows, depth of field, 60 fps entrances, FPS counter, CPU priority. Settings you change are saved in
wwe12.toml. (wwe12_graphics_menu = falsebrings the original manual back.) - 🌍 WWE Universe:
- Reset your Universe, as in WWE '13: in the Universe menu, choose EDIT UNIVERSE (was EDIT SUPERSTAR), then answer Yes twice. Your save is backed up first (
SaveBackups, same format as the launcher's SAVES page) and the reset is saved right away. Choose No to edit your Superstars as before. - Vacate a title no show uses, as in SvR 2011: on a Superstar's page, open his title and choose the belt he already holds.
- Choose each Superstar's attire (Y on his page in EDIT UNIVERSE > EDIT SUPERSTARS): a specific attire, a Superstar Threads attire or RANDOM.
- Full contender lists for the minor, tag team and Divas titles (the game only showed the first title of each show).
- Manual rankings: X EDIT in RANKINGS, A picks a Superstar, up/down moves him (solo titles; tag teams are not included yet). A backup of your save is made before the first change.
- SAVE a match you edited on the card without playing it, as in WWE '13.
- Reset your Universe, as in WWE '13: in the Universe menu, choose EDIT UNIVERSE (was EDIT SUPERSTAR), then answer Yes twice. Your save is backed up first (
- The launcher's PLAY page shows the graphics card the game will actually use.
Fixed
- "You are not currently signed in" / can't save with a controller and the keyboard connected (#17).
- Freezes: a rare timing problem in the game's own threads (a job could be lost, and the game waited forever). It mostly hit PCs with few CPU cores and big matches such as Elimination Chamber (#4, #8, #11). Please tell us if it's gone!
- Crash at start-up when the sound device is busy (Bluetooth headset connecting, another app using the sound): the game now retries, then runs without sound instead of crashing.
- Crash when loading the match after a First Blood (a game animation read before its own check).
- Missing DLC wrestlers (for example Batista): the game's cache is now rebuilt when DLC are installed.
- Coloured blocks during entrances and matches on Intel and AMD graphics (#7, #11, #13, #16): wrestlers' skin surfaces are now attached the way every graphics driver expects, and the wrestlers' bone data is read in the right format. Probable fix, not tested by us on those cards: please tell us if the blocks are gone!
- John Cena's and Randy Orton's title belts moving oddly in 60 fps entrances (60 fps entrances are still optional and off by default).
- Lighter on the CPU for small PCs: a timer thread that used a whole core's worth of time now sleeps, text scans and texture checks are much rarer, and a small dedicated graphics card (under 3.5 GB) now starts at 720p in automatic mode.
Known issues
- White body with a custom colour on some wrestlers (reported by two players, not reproduced yet): tell us your graphics card and what you changed.
- White eyes on some AMD cards (#12). Coloured blocks may remain on some cards: if so, add
svr_rt_no_compression = trueat the end ofwwe12.tomland tell us. - Turbo loading screens are still experimental and off by default.
- Female wrestlers can't bleed (as in the original game);
.oggmusic isn't read. - Universe: the title defenses, calendar and qualifiers of other WWE games are not there yet.
