--- ## Why you'll love it

🎮 Native, not emulated

The whole game was translated to run directly on your PC. No emulator to set up, no settings to tweak: install it and play. The installer prepares all the game's shaders up front, so fights don't stutter the first time you see them.

đŸ–Ĩī¸ Sharp at any size

From 360p for older PCs all the way up to 4K, at a smooth 60 fps. Optional sharpening, anti-aliasing and texture filtering, VSYNC on or off, and shadows you can turn off. Play in a window, borderless, or full screen.

👊 Every fighter unlocked

All 59 fighters are yours from the start, including the 10 that used to need Namco's servers, along with the game's final balance update.

🌐 Rollback netcode

Online fights use rollback, so they stay smooth when the connection wobbles. Play over Steam with no port forwarding and no Xbox LIVE: host a room, invite a friend, fight.

🏆 Ranked is back

Join a community server run by players for Ranked Match, leaderboards, teams, Tekken Channel replays and other players' ghosts. Anyone can host one.

⚡ Less input delay

The 2 frames of delay the original adds to offline modes are gone (switch them back on if you like), and controllers are read every millisecond.

🕹ī¸ Grab a controller

Plug in an Xbox controller (or any Xbox-compatible pad) and go. The keyboard works too, with keys you can change, and two players can tag-team on one PC, online too.

💾 Your progress, kept safe

Profiles and saves live in your Windows user folder, so they survive reinstalls and updates.

--- ## Play online Both of you install the **same version** of the port and keep **Steam** running. Online fights use rollback netcode, and every match runs directly between the two players' PCs over Steam. ### With a friend, over Steam 1. **Host:** `ONLINE MODE` → `PLAYER MATCH` → `CREATE SESSION`. In your room, press `Y` (Friend Invite) to invite a Steam friend. Friends playing the game are listed first. 2. **Your friend:** accept the invite in Steam, or go to `ONLINE MODE` → `PLAYER MATCH` → `SEARCH SESSION` and pick your session. 3. Fight! The first time you open Online Mode, the game shows Namco's online terms; accept them to continue. Steam will show you as playing **Spacewar**. That's normal: it's the free Steam test app the port uses to connect players. ### On a community server: Ranked, leaderboards, replays Community servers are run by players. They're where players find each other, and they bring back what used to need Namco's servers: **Ranked Match, leaderboards, teams, Tekken Channel replay search and other players' ghosts**. Matches still run directly between the two players over Steam; the server never carries them. 1. `ONLINE MODE` → `SERVER` → `ADD SERVER`, and type the server's address (a name or an IP; add `:port` if it isn't 28200; `Ctrl` + `V` pastes). 2. Pick it with `A`. The game remembers it and connects to it every time you open Online Mode. The list also shows each server's players and ping, and servers on your local network. On a server you meet only that server's players. Servers know you by your Steam account, so Steam still has to be running. **Host your own:** download `ttt2-server` for Windows or Linux from the [latest release](https://github.com/shihabal3amri/tekken-tag-tournament-2-pc/releases/latest) and follow the [server guide](server/README.md). It's one small program with no game data, and it comes with an admin panel in your browser (kicks, bans, match history, players online). ### Netcode settings `OPTIONS` → `GAME OPTIONS` → `ONLINE NETCODE` balances input delay against rollback: | Setting | What it does | |---|---| | `STANDARD` (default) | The game's own input delay for your ping; rollback smooths out the bumps | | `PRIORITIZE RESPONSE` | One frame less input delay, more rollback corrections | | `PRIORITIZE GRAPHICS` | One frame more input delay, fewer corrections | | `CUSTOM` | Set the input delay and the rollback limit yourself | Both players always share one input delay, and the host's setting decides it. ### Two players on one PC Pick `PAIR` at character select, then press `START` on the second controller when the game asks. It works offline and online; the second player plays as a guest of the first player's profile. --- ## Controls **Controller:** works just like on Xbox 360. Whoever presses a button first is Player 1. **Keyboard** (Player 1): | Key | Does | Key | Does | |---|---|---|---| | Arrow keys | Move / D-pad | `A` `S` `Z` `X` | A / B / X / Y | | `Enter` or `Space` | START | `Q` `W` | LB / RB | | `Backspace` | BACK | `E` `R` | LT / RT | | `Alt` + `Enter` | Window ↔ full screen | `D` `F` | Left / right stick click | **Change the keys** in the game: `OPTIONS` → `CONTROLLER SETUP` → on `BUTTON SETTINGS` press left/right to switch it to `KEYBOARD`, then `A` to edit. Pick a button, press `A`, then press the new key. `LB` / `RB` show the movement, START and BACK keys, plus `DEFAULTS` to undo everything. **Display settings** are in the game's own menu, `OPTIONS` → `DISPLAY SETTINGS`: window mode, resolution (360p to 4K), `VSYNC`, `SHARPNESS`, `ANTI-ALIASING` (FXAA), `TEXTURE FILTERING` and `SHADOWS`. The picture options are off by default, so the game looks the way it did on the console. In borderless and full screen the mouse pointer is hidden. **Profiles:** `OPTIONS` → `SWITCH PROFILE` lists them; press `Y` to rename one (its saves stay with it). **Input delay:** the original game adds 2 frames of delay to every button press in offline modes. This port removes them by default; turn them back on in `OPTIONS` → `GAME OPTIONS` → `INPUT DELAY`. Online matches always use the game's own delay, the same for both players. --- ## Questions
Is this an emulator?
No. The game's original Xbox 360 program was translated ("recompiled") into a real Windows program, with new graphics, audio and online code written for PC. That's why it runs smoothly, at high resolution, without an emulator.
Why do I need my own copy of the game?
The port doesn't include the game's files. The installer builds them from your disc image and title update, so you need to own the game to play.
Where do I find Title Update 3?
On your own Xbox 360, title updates are stored in Content\0000000000000000\4E4D0859\000B0000\. The one you need is TU_174Q22P_0000008000000.00000000000O2 (it ends in the letter O, then 2). You can also point the installer at the whole folder; it picks the right file by itself.
Which version of the game works?
The retail Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (USA, Europe) disc. The installer checks your disc image and tells you if it's a different version or damaged.
Does it stutter the first time I see a stage or a move?
Not anymore. The installer prepares all the game's shaders before you play (the step "Preparing the game's shaders"), so nothing has to be compiled in the middle of a fight. If they are ever missing (another Windows account, a deleted cache), the game rebuilds them in the background by itself.
My laptop runs the game on its integrated graphics.
The port asks Windows for the dedicated graphics card. If Windows still picks the integrated one, set Tekken Tag Tournament 2 to High performance in Settings → System → Display → Graphics.
Ranked Match can't find my friend.
Both of you need to be on the same community server. The game also only pairs players whose ranks are close: its default RANK LIMITS turns away a big rank gap. If you're far apart, both set RANKED MATCH → RANK LIMITS to No Restrictions before searching.
Where are my replays?
ONLINE MODE → TEKKEN CHANNEL → REPLAY THEATER. It works on Steam too. Downloaded replays are in its REPLAY DOWNLOAD LOG, where the oldest are replaced when it's full, so save the ones you want to keep. Searching other players' replays needs a community server.
My PlayStation (or other) controller doesn't work.
The game reads Xbox-compatible controllers. Other controllers need a tool that makes them show up as an Xbox controller, such as DS4Windows for PlayStation pads.
Why are there two "Tekken Tag Tournament 2" in Task Manager?
The second one is a small helper that talks to Steam for online play. It closes together with the game.
Where are my saves? How do I uninstall?
Saves, profiles and settings are in %LOCALAPPDATA%\TTT2Recomp. To uninstall, use Settings → Apps → Installed apps. Your saves are kept unless you tick the box to remove them.
Something went wrong.
Open an issue and attach %LOCALAPPDATA%\TTT2Recomp\log.txt. It tells us what happened.
--- ## Not available (yet) World Arena relied on Namco's servers, which are gone, and no community server has its lobbies yet. Voice chat isn't supported. Ranked Match, leaderboards, teams and replay search need a [community server](#on-a-community-server-ranked-leaderboards-replays); on plain Steam they're grayed out. ---
