Hello Matteo,

since 2000 I play System Shock 2.
In 2015 I found and played System Shock Infinite.
In 2019 System Shock 3 was announced.

A few days ago, when I read the coming of System Shock 3
is uncertain, I remembered System Shock Infinite,
which I hadn't played for years.

In 2020 I bought System Shock 2 v2.48 (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10) at GOG.
This version contains two setups, setup_system_shocktm_2_2.48_(31077) in english
and setup_system_shocktm_2_2.48_(german)_(31077).

I installed the english version first.
Then I renamed the folder "System Shock 2" to "enSystem Shock 2".
Now I installed the german version, the folder is "System Shock 2".

So I can play the english or the german version of System Shock 2 as I like.
The folder, which is not played gets renamed "enSystem Shock 2"
or "deSystem Shock 2" before the start.
The path to System Shock 2 is always C:\GOG Games\System Shock 2\SS2.exe.

To play both versions of System Shock 2 and System Shock Infinite,
I installed System Shock Infinite like a portable version.

To save space on partition C: I installed it on partition E:.

I copied the content of the english "System Shock 2" folder to
a new folder on partition E: and named it "System Shock Infinite".

Then I tested three ways to install System Shock Infinite with
System_Shock_Infinite_Full_2.41b.7z.

First I used the SS2BlueModManager 1.16.1, second the SS2Tool 6.1.1.8
and last the manual install with FMSel only.

All three ways worked.

To get a clean install, I renewed the content of the folder
"System Shock Infinite" three times.

After the installation I extracted the Psi Pull Addon in the
"System_Shock_Infinite" folder.
The path is E:\System Shock Infinite\FMs\System_Shock_Infinite.

Then I activated FMSel and started System Shock Infinite via "Play FM".
This path is E:\System Shock Infinite\SS2.exe.

So I have two shortcuts on the desktop.

C:\GOG Games\System Shock 2\SS2.exe
for both versions of System Shock 2
and
E:\System Shock Infinite\SS2.exe
for System Shock Infinite.

At the moment I'm at the The Fluidics Control Computer
and it seems, that System_Shock_Infinite_Full_2.41b
is the best version of System Shock Infinite ever.

I also use Psi Pull and Psi Bolt to get things
and fight Protocol Droids for example.

System_Shock_Infinite_Full_2.41b and System Shock 2 v2.48
are the perfect match and playing System Shock Infinite is great fun.

Thanks for the version 2.41b!

Greetings

Roland

I think

there are a bunch of

duplicate and

redundant steps but

sure if it works for you

then it's fine.

Yes, if I wouldn't save space on partition C: it would be easier
to put System_Shock_Infinite in the english System Shock 2 folder
and switch between "Play FM" and "Skip FM".
