WWE '12 PC

WWE '12 PC v1.0.0: 16:10 and ultrawide screens, a DirectX 11 version for older PCs, 360p/480p resolutions, a much bigger WWE Universe, a jukebox, and a Mod Maker that brings superstars, entrances and music from other WWE games.

⚠️ No game data included: you need your own copy of WWE '12 for Xbox 360.

New

  • 🖥️ 16:10 and ultrawide screens: matches and entrances now fill the whole window (no more black bars on 1920x1200, 2560x1600, 21:9...). The HUD stays in the middle 16:9 area and the menus stay 16:9. Option in the launcher (SETTINGS > DISPLAY) and wwe12_widescreen in wwe12.toml; PICTURE FORMAT has AUTO / STRETCH. Tested with Vulkan on 16:10 and 21:9 windows; the pause menu, the HUD in 21:9 and DirectX 11/12 are not fully checked: please tell us if something looks wrong.
  • 🧩 Three renderers, your choice: wwe12.exe (Vulkan, default), wwe12_d3d12.exe (DirectX 12) and the new wwe12_d3d11.exe (DirectX 11) for older graphics cards and Intel iGPUs. Pick it in the launcher or in OPTIONS > GRAPHICS > ADVANCED > GRAPHICS API; AUTO tries Vulkan, then DirectX 12, then DirectX 11 if your graphics card can't start one. No Microsoft DLL is needed. The DirectX 11 renderer is adapted from Kaiko's SvR 2011 PC port, with his permission: thank you Kaiko! (Known: the sun reflections aren't drawn in DirectX 11.)
  • 🔽 360p and 480p internal resolutions for small PCs, plus a Low-end PC preset in the launcher.
  • 🎵 JUKEBOX (OPTIONS > JUKEBOX, replaces CREDITS): listen to any entrance theme from the menus, in order or shuffled, and optionally replace the game's menu music.
  • 🌍 WWE Universe (all in the game's own menus, EDIT UNIVERSE):
    • Schedule like WWE 2K14: edit each day, and each show's matches (SHOW EDIT > Y MATCHES); X SIMULATE lets you choose the winner; SAVE a match you edited.
    • Full rankings and 2K14-style stats pages, and a title history.
    • Shows with fewer than 15 Superstars now work.
    • Optional title defenses in weekly shows and Money in the Bank / Elimination Chamber qualifying matches (both off by default; in the launcher, SETTINGS > ADVANCED).
    • ⚠️ RESET UNIVERSE saves right away and can't be undone: copy your save first (launcher > SAVES).
    • Jerry Lawler answers Michael Cole again in the Universe commentary.
  • 🎮 Match Creator extended: TIME LIMIT in every match, K.O. / Last Man Standing in cages and Hell in a Cell, Over the Top Rope / Elimination with 3 or more Superstars.
  • ⌨️ Shift, Ctrl and Alt alone can now be bound to a button (#18). Note: bindings like Shift+Key stop working; the launcher warns you.
  • 🏷️ Real names for the preset entrances and move-sets in the move list and in Create an Entrance (preset_names.txt lets you change them).
  • 🛠️ Mod Maker:
    • SvR 2007 wrestlers and arenas can be added (from your own copy of the game).
    • Superstars added from WWE '13 keep their own WWE '13 entrance, with its leg animation and entrance music.
    • Entrance themes from any WWE game you own (SvR 2007 to 2K17), with their titantron when the game has one. This needs vgmstream (the tool from Kaiko's Mod Maker Tools, or vgmstream-cli.exe in a vgmstream folder next to the Mod Maker).
    • Moves from SvR 2011 / '13 / 2K14-2K16 and entrances of other WWE '12 superstars are checked outside the game but not played yet: treat them as experimental.
    • Back up your save before using mods: moves and entrances are written to the wrestler's data. Re-import a superstar after updating the Mod Maker.
  • The launcher: settings in tabs, picture format, the 16:10 box, graphics API choice, a music page, button icons, keyboard as player 1-4, and the PLAY page shows the graphics card used.
  • New logo.

Fixed

  • Freeze during Rey Mysterio-style entrances on PCs with few CPU cores (a job pool problem; wwe12_job_pool_fix). Tested on 4 threads, 3 complete entrances, no freeze.
  • White / damaged custom attires and faster on small PCs (about 12% less CPU on 4 threads; texture checks and GPU waiting are lighter).
  • Crash risk when the game starts its threads (thread names) fixed.
  • Faster loading around entrances: the game paused 0.5 s after each big file it read (a leftover from the Xbox 360); this pause is gone (wwe12_read_throttle). Added ribbons and walls load instantly instead of taking about 3 s each. An optional faster loading-screen mode (wwe12_load_turbo, off by default, saves about 2 s per match) is still experimental.

Known issues

  • Not checked yet: 16:10 with DirectX 11/12, the pause menu and the HUD in 21:9, the last step of the AUTO chain (DirectX 12 → 11).
  • The UNIVERSE OPTIONS page (EDIT UNIVERSE, page 2) hasn't been seen in the game yet; the same settings are in the launcher.
  • White eyes on some AMD cards (#12); coloured blocks may remain on some cards (svr_rt_no_compression = true at the end of wwe12.toml, then tell us).
  • The jukebox theme of added superstars and the "game menu music" option are not tested everywhere.
  • Female wrestlers can't bleed (as in the original game); .ogg music isn't read.
  • Coming in 1.1: squash matches, starting finishers (1/2/3/infinite), I Quit and Special Referee, victory scenes, WWE '13 videos, two Money in the Bank briefcases, keyboard key icons in menus.

Installation

  • From 0.6.x - 0.9.x: the launcher offers the update; one click, your settings, game folder, saves and mods are kept. Close the game first.
  • New install: download WWE12-PC-v1.0.0.zip below, unzip it, put the disc image (.iso) of your game in the game folder, and run WWE12 Launcher.exe.

📱 Android (new in 1.0)

WWE12-PC-Android-v1.0.0.apk is the Android version of WWE '12 PC (ARM64, Android 9 or newer). No game files are included: you need your own copy of WWE '12 (Xbox 360), as an ISO or a game folder. Open the app, tap CHOOSE MY ISO, then PLAY.

  • It has the same game as the PC 1.0: wide screens (matches fill 20:9 phones), 360p/480p, the bigger WWE Universe, the Match Creator extras, real move-set names, the jukebox and faster loading. In the app: new resolutions, "Wide screens" switch, WWE UNIVERSE options and ADD DLC....
  • Update from an Android alpha (1 to 8): download the APK by hand and install it over your alpha (same signing key: your saves are kept). From now on the app finds new versions by itself in the v1.x.x releases.
  • Tested on an Android emulator only (menus, a 20:9 screen, 6 match loads in a row without a freeze). Real phones: only the alphas were tested by players.
  • Works best on Snapdragon (Adreno) 7xx/8xx phones with 6 GB of memory or more. Mali (MediaTek, Exynos, Tensor) phones should show colour but are not confirmed yet.
  • Known problems: many Snapdragon 845/855/870 (Adreno 6xx) phones cannot start the game with their own driver (it lacks Vulkan features the game needs): the app says so, and a recent Turnip driver may help (#41, #43, #44). Instant replay stays off by default; some freezes are still investigated (#46, #47, #49, #51). The phone gets warm: lower the resolution or turn off crowd and shadows.
  • Not done yet: PlayStation button icons, a Mod Maker for Android, and checks on real phones. Send the log (launcher > SHARE LAST LOG) with your phone model if something goes wrong.
