While the latter are on the mod dev's roadmap, there's been no updated release or communication since February of 2022 except for the instructions for Steam Deck installation. Sadly though, map maker and multiplayer are still not working. Luckily on PC there's a mod called TS2 Redux that, as of this writing, at least fixes most of the above bugs (I've had maybe one or two crashes on my W11 PC) and even comes with an installer that will let you skip HtR entirely and remove any files not needed by TS2 itself ( it even works on Steam Deck!). the hardest pill to swallow, there's no multiplayer of any kind View: there are some game-breaking bugs with some of the newly unlocked content However, a few years later Dambuster devs unveiled cheat codes that could unlock all of the content in the original game, including the full story campaign! Now there's some caveats: HOWEVER, tucked away inside the game in all versions, PC, XBO, and PS4, is a native port of Timesplitters 2, rendered in native 4K and with some higher resolution textures to boot! Now by default, you have to unlock the port by getting to a point several hours into HtR itself, and even then you only get access to 2 story levels by themselves. I've tried it, it's just kind of bland and boring, especially compared to contemporaries and other better open world FPS's since, and the AI can get pretty wonky at times. Released in 2016, developer Dambuster Studios' (made of former first gen Free Radical vets) Homefront: The Revolution is. Luckily, you and I can both drown our sorrows in the consolation that there's at least some way to play Timesplitters 2, IMO the franchise's standout entry, through a native PC port with the help of a quick Steam purchase ( or a Steam key on sale for $2.99 at Fanatical) and a painless mod, TS2 Redux. Patches in bold-face indicate a major update (see above).If you're like me you're currently mourning the SECOND untimely demise of Free Radical and the Timesplitters franchise, which seems perpetually doomed to misadventure. Patches are listed (in reverse-chronological order) for the Windows and Mac OS X versions unless otherwise noted. Updates containing community-contributed items submitted via the former contribution page (now replaced by the Steam Workshop) have also been released as content packs. Major updates are promoted patches that feature new content and or game feature, frequently accompanied by published additions to character development or Storyline (Update pages, Movies, Comics, or Hidden pages), often announced over a period of several days.Ĭontent packs are smaller updates that feature new content additions usually as promotional material for other games or events. However, through the use of diff tools and version control systems on local machines running the game, it is possible for the community to view all updated files and the changes made to them and thus provide notes on undocumented changes.Ĭurrently, as of October 2019, no patches have been made to update the macOS version to 64-bit due to the implementation of the discontinued Carbon API used for 32-bit macOS applications, and Apple's deprecation of OpenGL for macOS. Typically, each patch is accompanied with release notes detailing the changes introduced in the update though some additions have often been left unnoted and some patches have been released without any notes entirely. To date, there have been only four patches to Team Fortress 2 on Xbox 360 and one patch on PlayStation 3, compared to the 785 patches that have been released to Windows, macOS, and Linux since 2007. While all three of these platforms retain the same codebase and have updates released simultaneously, the versions of the game on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 were separate and did not receive frequent updates and as such is no longer supported by Valve, due to restrictions imposed on game developers to pay a fee of $40,000 by Microsoft during the Xbox 360's lifespan until 2013 (the console itself wasn't discontinued until 2016). Patches to the game are deployed to Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms via Steam, and must be downloaded and applied before the game can be launched. More recent updates, however, have moved into a seasonal rotation, with annual Halloween events and Smissmas updates, as well as additional content packs in the Spring, Summer or Fall. Previously, major updates had centered around one or two particular classes and included new content released predominantly for that class. Major updates are patches that add new weapons, game modes, or maps. Patches are updates to Team Fortress 2 that fix known bugs, glitches, or exploits within the game, and often add new features or balance changes to weapons, maps, or other game elements.
