About Running as Admin

This new installer runs using administrative rights. This is to avoid issues where your game might be installed into a folder (like C:\Program Files) that requires elevated user permissions to access. If you are at all uncomfortable with running an unknown EXE from the internet as admin, then you are welcome to download a copy of the master branch and compile your own installer using the ISS setup script. You'll be able to see the code for what the installer is doing behind the scenes. If you have any questions or suggestions, contact us via Discord.

TS2-Downloader (beta)

This is a simple script for downloading ONLY enough of Homefront from Steam to run TS2. This script uses DepotDownloader (not included) to download files from Steam and saves about 43GB worth of bandwidth. This is similar to the Ripper feature that was already present before, but this works for people who have yet to download Homefront and want to save internet bandwidth. This new script is located here: Install\Setup-Files\TS2-downloader\ts2-downloader.bat
Example command:
ts2-downloader.bat "D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Homefront_The_Revolution" YOURUSERNAME YOURPASSWORD
(ask us in Discord for help using this script)

TS2 Redux v0.2.6

A new setup wizard has been created to replace the old batch-script installer. Installer upgraded to a new modern setup program (powered by Inno Setup). This new version is much more easy to use, more stable, and allows for more customization (for the dev team and for end users). It will also help make future updates easier.

This update brings a couple new features and fixes, but it's primarily a new method of installing the same mod as before.

Existing Users

Users who have already installed TS2 Redux using the old batch script should be fine to use this new installer. It will replace and update any existing files already present in your game folder. There are some updates and new options available, so it's recommended that existing users upgrade using this new installer even if they've already installed the mod before.

Changes

  • All features previously present in the old batch script version have been converted to Inno's ISS format. Including DLL copying, the Ripper script, PAK patching (using Jdiff), and more. The old batch script installer is now deprecated and the new installer will be used moving forward.
  • Installer no longer breaks when user's game path has spaces in it.
  • New optional "disable breathing" mod added. This removes the camera sway from the character breathing.
  • The entire mod can now be uninstalled easily using the provided uninstaller. This will revert Homefront back to stock.
  • Each individual DLL can be enabled or disabled during setup. Users now have more control over what parts they want to install. The "standard" installation includes all of the primary mods, and allows people to optionally enable additional mods (such as Yossarian's Remix Mod).
  • Setup process now checks homefront game EXE and lsao_cached.pak to ensure they're the correct version. People reported issues when trying to install TS2 Redux onto old versions of Homefront from Steam. This should help make that mistake more obvious. The installer will alert you if there's a problem, and it will let you optionally continue anyways.
  • Windows 7 (x64) support added.
  • The installer checks the user's game config file to see if supersampling is enabled. When enabled, the TS2 window appears stretched and the game is unplayable. The installer checks if supersampling is turned on, and can optionally disable it for the user.
  • Installer creates a log file during the setup process. If users encounter problems during install, they can provide this log file to the dev team for help.
