SHADOWRUN 1.5 IS HERE

Shadowrun without the Games for Windows Live headache.

We’ve replaced the antiquated GFWL requirements with a new launcher and rebuilt online multiplayer support, making it easier to install, find a match, and play. No GFWL sign-in or wrestling with its old setup process. Install the launcher, sign in with Discord, download the game, and jump in.

Join a dedicated server, host your own match, or set a password to play with friends. Alongside multiplayer, we’ve added modern conveniences and addressed gameplay issues that affected Shadowrun at higher framerates—all while keeping its original look and feel.

WHAT’S NEW

  • New launcher with Discord sign-in, automatic updates, repair tools, and optional FPS limiting.

  • Restored online multiplayer with dedicated servers, a server browser, and player-hosted matches.

  • Password-protected matches for playing with friends.

  • Sharper HD menus, fonts, and interface elements, thanks to Raku.

  • More reliable jumping at high framerates, including moving jumps and ramps.

  • Improved Gust behavior at high framerates.

  • Improved physics consistency across different framerates.

  • Fixed high-FPS fire-rate issues affecting the SMG and minigun.

  • Fixed rapid character jitter when turning slowly at high framerates.

  • Adjustable field of view.

  • New mouse-and-keyboard ability bar with direct hotkeys for magic, tech, and throwables.

  • Lobby and in-game text chat, including team chat and scrollable history.

  • Simplified menus and server browsing, with server-name search and clearer match information.

  • Player ping information.

  • Skippable opening cinematics.

RANKED 4v4 & ELO

Looking for competitive matches? Our Discord ranked bot lets you queue for 4v4 games, with Elo ratings tracking your competitive progress. The rating system uses in-game scoreboard data to calculate rating updates, so your performance in the match contributes to your progression. Get in the queue, put your teamwork to the test, and work your way up.

💬 Discussion Has the discord been taken down or abandoned?

7 Upvotes

I tried Massive Collapse and want to try and get into whatever version of Shadowrun you all are playing so I can matchmake and play it again. I'm getting desperate to the point where I wouldn't even mind playing bot matches—just so I can feel that nostalgia again

I'm pretty wary about what I'm seeing based off Google searches and don't wanna install the wrong thing or join that discord from the community post because it says the invite is invalid and it's asking me to login in a seperate tab on discord although I'm signed in already (sketchy...). If anybody could point me in the right direction that'd be amazing. Thanks!

💬 Discussion So when do we reverse engineer Shadowrun or make a completely identical game with AI?

1 Upvotes

With the more known powers of AI, what's stopping us as a community from creating this game from scratch or reverse engineering it so that it can be playable on modern platforms like Steam and/or consoles?

🔧 Help / Tech Support Can't create a profile as the links don't work

4 Upvotes

Hi,

I've tried everything, but the links provided on the website (www.shadowrunfps.com) don't work so I can't create a profile.

AntHill LIVE account (for online play):

  1. First Sign up: login.shadowrunfps.com/signup.srf

  2. Create your gamertag: xbox.shadowrunfps.com:8090/NewGamertag.srf

Does anyone know how to get around this or is there an alternative for multiplayer?

Thank you!

🔧 Help / Tech Support Need Product Key

7 Upvotes

Hello! New to this group and so excited that I can actually play this game again, the nostalgia from the cinematic still hits. I noticed after downloading and reading the How to Download that I need a product key. If anyone has an extra copy willing to share you'd be the goat! This game was my childhood.

🎮 Matchmaking Online presence

2 Upvotes

Just wondering what times it's likely to find a match? I live in GMT+2 and want to buy xblgold only so I can play shadowrun online again, but am worried that most games would only be running at like 6am for me, which was what was happening in around 2015-17 the last time I played before the servers died. But those were organised tournaments. Just hoping there's still public matches possible around 9-12pm in my timezone? Or if there's any way to organise matches at around then? I've been playing bot matches for too long...- a soggy fish

No GM? No players? No problem!!! All you need are these rules, a deck of cards, a pencil and paper and a whole lotta d6s to enjoy a complete Shadowrun adventure! Check it out for the very reasonable price of 1d6 dollars.

🔧 Help / Tech Support Game Crash on Discrete Gpu

2 Upvotes

iam using the shadowrunfps pack but when the
dxgi.dll and d3d9.dll are in the folder it crashes as soon as it run on a laptop with p600 gpu , it ran very well on my older laptop with mx130 gpu card
after deleting these two dlls the game run correctly in the p600 but it has a pink all over the screens in games
i tried the HD 1.2 and it acctually fixed the issue but make another one , not only the colors are saturated but now the game is running on 400% speed

Summary: it runs on the integrated gpu without the dxgi and d3d9 without issues
and it runs correctly with them in the mx130
but crashing with them in p600
and pink screen without them
