Although this product has been released, it remains under active development - information may change frequently and could be outdated or irrelevant.
This page may require
cleanup to meet basic
quality standards. The specific problem is:
Specify which aspects apply to sourceport vs wrapper version.. You can help by
modifying
the article. The
discussion page may contain useful suggestions.
Key points
- Modern source port of System Shock offering features such as hardware acceleration, improved widescreen, in-game control rebinding, and more.
- On 6 September 2018, a major update of the Enhanced Edition ported it to the Kex Engine, offering additional features such as higher resolutions, mouselook, rebindable keys and use of the high resolution assets from the Mac version [3]

Essential improvements
Skip Intro Videos
- Matches the text to match with the spoken audio.
- Updated to work with the Sept 2018 source port.
- Improves music playback. Windows 10 users may want to see MIDI mapper workarounds First.
- This is version 3, which has been updated to work with the Source Port Update.
- A version of this mod compatible with the game before the Source Port Update can be found here. Download only "hi-res3DSS.rar", ignoring "v2" - version 2 only adds adding parameters, useless if you don't want to mod the game.

Input
Enable reloading and switching ammo with a single keyboard key
Few people know that System Shock has (and always had) a shortcut for both reloading and switching alternate ammo types (Alt+← Backspace and Ctrl+← Backspace). Unfortunately these keyboard shortcuts are less than convenient for modern standards. Luckily they can be changed in Enhanced Edition.
Edit controls.cfg[citation needed]
|
Add the following lines, preferably under the "custom profile" section:
bind r cmd.ammotype default 0
bind shift+r cmd.ammotype default 0
bind tab cmd.ammotype default 1
bind shift+tab cmd.ammotype default 1
- Requires R (stand) to be rebound for use by reloading.
- Additional binding that may be worth looking at and changing are Alt+' (throw grenade), Ctrl+' (next grenade), Alt+: (use patch), Ctrl+: (next patch) and Ctrl+A (automap).

Issues fixed
System Shock won't launch
Turn off MSI afterburner[8]
|
Run the game in Windows 95 compatibility mode[9]
|
Game crashes with "ERROR!" after intro
Move the game installation path to somewhere that is shorter than 64 characters.[10]
|
Final boss fills the screen too fast
Reactor code is no longer randomized
Replace archive.dat[12]
|
Download the archive.dat
file and replace the one found in \res\data . The tool reactor-rng can also be used to patch a game that is already in progress.
- Note: This fix can cause issues with the automap MFD on the second level. The display can become off-center and significantly zoomed out, preventing the player from using the mini-map.[13]
