Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II is a third-person hack and slash game in the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed series.
A sequel to The Force Unleashed, it was ported to PC by Aspyr and released alongside the console versions on October 26, 2010.
Like the first game, it's capped at 30 FPS with physics issues arising at higher framerates (see this section for the fix). However, none of the console DLC was ever brought to PC, but it's possible to access most of it (the exceptions being the Endor and Character Pack DLCs) by modifying the game files (see Pre-order and Collector's Edition content for a guide).

In order to unlock them you need to:

Issues fixed
Crash on startup
- If your monitor resolution does not match the game's or you are using a second monitor it will crash on load. This seems most common when your desktop is set to 1920x1080.
- There is also a problem where if your monitor is set to a refresh rate of 59 instead of 60 the game may crash.

In game videos glitching or not playing
- The FMV files use the wmv3 and wmap codecs for video and audio, which are not well-supported by some alternative codec packs like DirectShow. The game uses your computer's own installed codecs to play the videos.
Change WMV association[citation needed] |
---|
Change the default .wmv video player to Windows Media Player. |
Transcode FMV files with FFMPEG |
---|
$convblock = { $path = "conv/" If(!(test-path $path)){ New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $path } $files = Get-ChildItem -File foreach ($file in $files){ If(-NOT ($file.name -like "ffmpeg.exe")){ ./ffmpeg.exe -i "$($file.name)" -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 18 -c:a aac -b:a 256k "conv/$($file.name).mkv" Move-Item -Force "conv/$($file.name).mkv" "./$($file.name)" } } Remove-Item -LiteralPath "$path" -Force -Recurse Remove-Item "ffmpeg.exe" } Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock $convblock The above code will automatically convert the videos, overwrite the old ones, and clean up after itself by removing the temporary conversion folder and ffmpeg.exe for you. However, note that the conversion process could take some time, up to a few hours on a low-end machine. The new files will use the h.264 video codec and the aac audio codec. |
Disable in-game videos[citation needed] |
---|
Rename FMV folder located in <path-to-game>/Game/Disc/ (to FMV_old, for example). |
