WWE 2K15 PC 0.2.3 beta
Easier first start, smoother first launches. No game data is included. The launcher offers this update by itself (ABOUT page): your game folder, mods, settings and saves are kept. (This also includes everything planned for 0.2.2.)
"Stuck on the title screen / loading"? Fixed for most players
- The game does not wait for a controller: with no controller and keyboard play off, nothing can answer "PRESS START", which looks like a freeze. Now, if no controller is detected when you click PLAY, the launcher turns the keyboard on for that game (Space = A, Enter = Start; AZERTY or QWERTY follows your setting) and says so. Your saved options do not change. If you have a controller, nothing changes.
- The PLAY page also shows a "No controller detected" note with a button to enable the keyboard.
- New "Wrong Title Update" note when the game closes at start because your Title Update is not Title Update 4 (version 0.0.6.4).
Smoother
- Less stutter on the first matches (normal renderer, especially AMD): the depth/shadow draws are compiled in the background. On an AMD integrated GPU with an empty cache, the longest freeze went from 2.2 s to 0.18 s.
- Native renderer: about half the CPU work of the normal renderer in a match (measured), 60 fps also on 2 CPU cores; first launch with an empty cache is smooth (cache folder ~7 MB). FXAA anti-aliasing option and anisotropy choice are now applied in the native renderer.
- The native renderer logs every Vulkan GPU and falls back to another one if the chosen GPU cannot run the game. The normal renderer picks the lighter mode on older NVIDIA cards (like the GeForce 940MX).
- README rewritten as a step-by-step guide.
Reminder
- Weak PC or integrated graphics: tick GRAPHICS > "Rendu natif (expérimental)".
- You need Title Update 4 (
tu00000004_00000000). Other title updates make the game close at start.
Known issues
- Native renderer: tested on NVIDIA and AMD only; Intel reports are welcome. Contact shadows may look slightly softer than with the normal renderer.
- White/glitched wrestler models on AMD (#10, #12): possibly fixed in 0.2.1, waiting for feedback.
- Online features (Xbox Live, Xbox Store) do not work. No native Linux build: use Proton.
Bugs: please open an issue with your GPU, CPU, the scene and logs\wwe2k15_*.log.

En français
- « Bloqué sur l'écran titre » corrigé pour la plupart : sans manette ni clavier, rien ne répond à « PRESS START ». Maintenant, si aucune manette n'est détectée quand tu cliques sur JOUER, le lanceur active le clavier pour cette partie (Espace = A, Entrée = Start) et te le dit. Tes réglages ne changent pas.
- Note « aucune manette détectée » sur la page JOUER, avec un bouton pour activer le clavier ; note « mauvaise Title Update » si ta TU n'est pas la TU4 (0.0.6.4).
- Moins de saccades aux premiers matchs (plus long gel de 2,2 s à 0,18 s sur un GPU intégré AMD) ; rendu natif : environ moitié moins de travail pour le processeur, option FXAA et anisotropie appliquées.
- README réécrit, pas à pas.
