System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster – PC Patch #2

Patch 1.0.1 for System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster went live on PC platforms, including Steam, GOG, Epic Games, and Humble Bundle, on June 27. Since then, our team has been hard at work on an additional patch that’s live now on PC and consoles, including Xbox One, Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. We're still waiting for patch approval from Nintendo, with the patch expected to roll out on Nintendo Switch in the coming weeks.

KNOWN ISSUES

• There are some quirks when using multi-monitor setups with at least one very high refresh rate monitor.

• Customized bindings may be temporarily incorrect while the player’s inventory is open.

KNOWN ISSUES (FOR MODDERS)

• There is a bug that is causing wrong IDs (when compared to NewDark) assigned to relations. This will be fixed in the next patch.

We’re continuing to monitor bug reports and aim to have another patch to address these and other issues released by the end of July. If you’re experiencing issues with the game that haven’t been resolved through our recent patches, please email our support team (nds-support@atari.com). Thank you!
