About this project

The 1999 game ships a built-in co-op mode that SS2Tool unlocks via a Game features checkbox. Difficulty is locked to hard, and fan netcode fixes exist (ss2_netfixes, Dan's Multiplayer Gameplay Tweaks) but netcode is hard to improve without source.

About this project

Nightdive's June 2025 remaster advertises 4-player co-op with PC and console cross-play. A Steam thread says one store page dropped co-op wording and a PartyDeck issue claims LAN co-op, so confirm in-game.
