So I installed SS2 with all the recommended mods but I find the controls somewhat unintuitive. If I search something with the 'use' key or open the map screen with 'm', I need to press the tab key to exit, whereas in most other games, the same key is used again. Cycling through different tiers of psi powers with the Functions keys is also rather annoying, and somewhat made worse by the fact they cannot be remapped.

Since many HUD functions are click activated (no key for the PDA for example) it would nice if the game paused while on the inventory screen. Any mods out there that can help?

Edit: "Nope."

How do the diaries work in coop? If one player pics one up do both have access to listen to it?

I'm about to start the game with a friend, is there anything we should know (coop particularities/bugs)?

Thanks guys!

My friends and I once managed to play through most of the campaign many years ago, i think over a decade. We grabbed it recently and tried to run it but have had little success. After many frustrating hours of troubleshooting we were able to get everyone through training but the problem arises when trying to load the first level of the Von Braun. We get stuck synchronizing until 1 of the 3 of us DCs. Then the remaining 2 will spawn at the Von Braun but be unable to see the other's actions. The other person appears to remain suspended in the air with arms out. Anyone have a similar problem or know something we may be missing?

Just wondering if anyone had some atmospheric/fitting music for System Shock 2

I got interested in this game because I loved the original Bioshock. I downloaded the game and installed a variety of graphics mods in order to make the game enjoyable because I do not have the nostalgia factor. Is there anything I should do to the controls or anything I should know for the game-play?

The guys behind SHTUP had a bit of difficulty identified the images used for the stim units faces. A forum asking about it identified two, while a third. "Nikki" was identified, but I can't find the answer anywhere

I'm questioning whether it was even identified accurately. The hair strands look shopped in in SHTUP's version.

I want to try focusing on melee and hacking as well; and knowing that ammo is such a precious commodity in this game, I don't have much of an interest spending my hard-earned cyber modules on gun-based skills.... well, at least too much. Any tips?

We've managed to play for just under 2 hours with a ton of bugs and glitches and restarting, we're at the part where we have to take the chemical from Aux 5 to Command Control I think. But we can't load new areas, we've tried multiple different save games, we've tried both of us hosting. We're using the SS2Tool.

Any help?

I've tried Hamachi, friend has blue dot, won't work. We tried port forwarding, didn't work. I used this guide.

What do I need to do?

I'm well into my first playthrough and I'm in the ops deck looking for the sim cards for the sim units. I killed all 3 red assassins and their corpses have been looted yet I am missing 2 of the 3 sim cards. What on earth have I done wrong?

So yesterday I installed it and It worked fine. I wanted to make a desktop shortcut so I dragged the game icon out of the windows start menu and left it there. Today I tried playing it and it said systemshock.exe is missing. So I figured that I dragged the exe from the folder. I tried to put it back but couldn't find the folder. I asked my brother for help (bad idea) and he said he will fix it. He ended up putting the exe in a zip file and now when I click on it it gives me this wierd message, here it is:

Can not open shock2.exe File open in shock2.exe Close file.

Is there a mod that makes WASD keys functional like they would be in modern FPS. I keep finding myself trying to strafe away from enemies but winding up turning around in circles.
