If you have a ''German'' copy of Serious Sam 2, do ''not'' install the 2.070 Patch. Instead stick with the 2.068 patch.
+
== Improvements ==
Otherwise the game can not be started anymore. As said, the bug is specific to the German copy and appears even if you choose another language during the installation process.

=== [[Field of view (FOV)]] ===
==== Step 1: Downloads ====
+
You can change the game's FOV by modifying the file "sam.ini". It can be found in the game's install folder under: /Content/SeriousSam2/<br />
1. The Steam version of Serious Sam 2: http://store.steampowered.com/app/204340/
+
Find and modify the following line:
  
2. The Loki DVD installer: http://liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=83
+
'''plr_ffov=X'''
  
==== Step 2: Moving the Steam Stuff ====
+
"X" will be a default value. Change it to whatever FOV you desire.
Let's assume we are in the Serious Sam 2 folder in steamapps (typically ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam/steamapps/common/serious\ sam\ 2/). Let's also assume that we are installing our game in ~/Games/SeriousSam2/. Enter this command:
 
  
  mv *.gro ~/Games/SeriousSam2/
+
== Input settings ==
 +
{{Input Settings
 +
|key_remap                  =unknown
 +
|key_remap_notes            =
 +
|acceleration_option        =unknown
 +
|acceleration_option_notes =
 +
|controller_support        =unknown
 +
|controller_support_notes  =
 +
}}
  
At this point you should be able to delete Serious Sam 2 from Steam without any problems.
+
==System requirements==
 +
{{System Requirements
 +
|OSfamily = Windows
  
==== Step 3: Unpacking the Loki Installer ====
+
|minOS    = Windows XP
What makes Serious Sam 2 difficult to install (and likely why you're here) is that the installer requires the CDs to run. Luckily the installer can be passed some arguments to unpack it so that we can manipulate what the installer actually copies to the Serious Sam 2 installation. Assuming the installer is in ~/Games/Installers/:
+
|minproc  = Pentium 4 2 GHz or Pentium M 1.5 GHz or AMD Athlon XP 1.5 GHz
sh serious.sam2_2.070beta2.1-multilanguage.dvd.run --noexec --target unpacked
+
|minmem  = 256 MB
The resulting folder "unpacked/" should contain the installer's packages!
+
|minHD    = 3 GB free
 +
|minGPU  = NVIDIA GeForce 3 or ATi Radeon 8500 or S3 DeltaChrome or XGI Volari
  
==== Step 4: Moving the Loki Stuff ====
+
|recproc  = Pentium 4 3 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 2 GHz
The first thing we do is unpack the following packages...
+
|recmem  = 512 MB
tar xvfj serious.sam.2_beta_rc2.1.tar.bz2
+
|recGPU  = NVIDIA GeForce 6800 or ATi Radeon X800
tar xvfz sed2_help.tar.gz
+
}}
 
 
For the following sets of moves we are assuming that the Steam Serious Sam 2 copy is in ~/Games/SeriousSam2/ and this unpacked installer is in ~/Games/Installers/unpacked/. We are currently in the latter directory.
 
mv serious.sam.2.xpm ~/Games/SeriousSam2/
 
mv README.Croteam ~/Games/SeriousSam2/
 
mv bin/serioussam2 ~/Games/SeriousSam2/
 
mv bin/serioussam2-editor ~/Games/SeriousSam2/
 
mv Bin ~/Games/SeriousSam2/
 
mv Content ~/Games/SeriousSam2/
 
mv SeriousEngineTools_Help ~/Games/SeriousSam2/
 
 
 
== Running the Game ==
 
To run the game, just run "serioussam2" in the root of the game folder. You may have to chmod +x it first.
 
=== Serious Editor ===
 
To run the editor, just run "serioussam2-editor" in the root of the game folder. You may have to chmod +x it first.
 
=== Getting Audio Working ===
 
To get audio working, move to the root of your newly made Serious Sam 2 installation and make a symlink to your 32-bit libopenal.so. For Fedora, it looks like this...
 
ln -s /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 libopenal.so.0
 
 
 
= General information =
 
== Console Commands ==
 
To enable cheats:<br />
 
Bring down console with ~<br />
 
Type 'sam_iEnableCheats=1' (without quotes) and hit Enter<br />
 
You can then press ESC and F1 to open the cheats window for things such as God mode and all the weapons.<br />
 
 
 
Other useful commands:<br />
 
hud_bShowPing = 1<br />
 
hud_iShowBandwidth = 1<br />
 
hud_bShowCrosshair = 1<br />
 
sam_ctMaxDebris = 20<br />
 
sam_bEnableRagdollDeaths = 0<br />
 
prf_bShowFPS = 1
