Overview

⚠️ If you encounter missing DLL errors, install the Visual Studio 2019 Redistributable.

⚠️ Note: This release doesn't include the UI for selecting your Duke Nukem II installation yet. To make RigelEngine find the game data, copy RigelEngine.exe (and accompanying DLLs) into the directory of your Duke Nukem II installation, and launch RigelEngine.exe instead of NUKEM2.EXE.

This release completes registered version support, but there are still some bugs left to fix before reaching full parity with the original. Another update will hopefully follow soon!

In addition, a few bugs have been fixed, and the game can now be played using a game pad (e.g. Xbox controller, PS4 controller).
