Instead, use an updated installer called “SS2Tool” that the System Shock 2 fan community has created. Start by making a new directory on your system. You can use any location though the authors of the new installer strongly advise against using the ‘program files’ or ‘program files (x86)’ directories. The game should work in any directory as long as the folder permissions are set, but let’s keep things simple. For this example we’ll use C:\Games\sshock2. Create the Games folder on your C drive using Windows Explorer. Now, open the System Shock 2 CD-ROM in Windows Explorer. There are several folders in the CD-ROM and a bunch of files, but the only folder we need is the “SHOCK” folder. Copy this folder from the CD-ROM into your newly created games folder (C:\Games in our example). Once the folder is copied, you can rename it if you like. We’re now ready to use the SS2Tool to install the game.įor this example we’ll rename the folder to “sshock2”, but you can use any name that takes your fancy. The SS2Tool can be downloaded from the message board here. Before you start the tool, make sure your desktop is set to the resolution you want to run the game in. For most users this will not require any adjustment. Running the tool is easy, simply double click to start it. The tool will ask you what components you want to install. Leave all the options selected and select “Start Menu items” too if you want a short-cut to System Shock 2 on your Start Menu.
