WWE 2K15 PC 0.2.5 beta

Fixes for white wrestler models (native renderer), a hang on PCs with few CPU cores, a crash when no sound device can be opened, and your key bindings are now remembered. No game data is included. The launcher offers this update by itself (ABOUT page): your game folder, mods, settings and saves are kept.

Fixed

• White / blank wrestler models, native renderer (#10, #12, #15, #17): the draws that build a wrestler's textures (skin, attire, damage) could be skipped while the game's shaders were still being converted and were never redone. They now wait for their shader (up to 2 s). Please retest DLC wrestlers, 2K Showcase and Superstar Threads; if it still happens, delete the cache\native_shaders.bin file once and try again. (Idea from Jarrod's WWE 2K14 recomp.)
• Game freezing for good on PCs with few CPU cores (2-4 threads): the game woke a helper thread before marking its job as "not done", and on a PC with few cores the late mark could erase the "done" signal. The order is fixed. Could not be reproduced here: please tell us if your freezes are gone.
• Crash right after start when Windows cannot open a sound device: the game now starts without sound and says so in the log.
• Key bindings remapped in the game (Fn+F4 > Save to config) are kept after a restart or an update (#18). They are stored in launcher-keybinds.ini next to the launcher.

New

• SEPARATE PLAYER option (CONTROLS tab, with a controller connected and keyboard play on): the keyboard becomes its own player, so two people can play with one controller and the keyboard. Not tested in a real two-player match yet: feedback welcome.
• A note before the first native-renderer launch (the game's shaders are prepared, a few seconds).

Reminder

• Weak PC or integrated graphics: tick GRAPHICS > "Rendu natif (expérimental)".
• You need Title Update 4 (tu00000004_00000000). With no controller, the launcher turns the keyboard on (Space = A, Enter = Start).

Known issues

• White/blank DLC models with the normal renderer are not fixed yet (native only in this version).
• Intel: the native renderer crash was fixed in 0.2.4, waiting for confirmation; with the normal renderer the first launch can freeze up to ~20 s.
• 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 (and crash_*.txt).
Never share the game files, the Title Update or DLC. Not affiliated with WWE, 2K or Yuke's.

En français

• Modèles blancs en rendu natif : les dessins qui fabriquent les textures des catcheurs attendent maintenant leur shader au lieu d'être sautés. À retester (DLC, Showcase, Threads) ; si ça persiste, supprime une fois cache\native_shaders.bin.
• Blocage définitif sur PC à peu de cœurs : l'ordre de réveil d'un thread auxiliaire est corrigé (à confirmer).
• Plantage sans périphérique audio : le jeu démarre sans son.
• Touches remappées en jeu (Fn+F4) conservées après redémarrage et mise à jour.
• Nouveau : option « joueur séparé » pour le clavier (jouer à deux avec une manette) ; note avant le premier lancement du rendu natif.
