Availability
- The GOG.com version of System Shock 2 is the best version because it's DRM-free, patched with fixes, and includes extra items such as music, concept art, and wallpapers.
Improvements
SS2Tool
- Essential patcher which integrates the NewDark patch and fixes various issues.
- Use SS2Tool for all versions of the game.
Recommended mods
- SHTUP - 'Shock Texture Upgrade Project' enhances object texture quality.
- Rebirth Beta 0.2 - enhances polygons of enemies.
Mac Version
Modding the Wineskin version shipped by Steam can be done by firstly installing the Windows version in a virtual machine, patching it and installing all desired modifications and then replacing the System Shock 2 installation within the Wineskin version with the custom version. It may be necessary to deactivate Steam's "Keep up to date" function for System Shock 2 for this to work.
