Essential improvements

Patches

Serious Sam II Patch 2.070. Do not install this if you have the German version as it can cause various problems.[citation needed]

Console commands

Open the console (~ by default)
  • sam_iEnableCheats=1 - Enable Cheats
    • Press Esc and F1 to open the cheats window
  • hud_bShowPing = 1
  • hud_iShowBandwidth = 1
  • hud_bShowCrosshair = 1
  • sam_ctMaxDebris = 20
  • sam_bEnableRagdollDeaths = 0
  • prf_bShowFPS = 1
  • net_strConnectPassword = "password" - used to access password protected multiplayer games

Unofficial Linux installer

flibitijibibo has made an unofficial installer that simplifies installation of the game on Linux. If you own the game, download the installer at http://www.flibitijibibo.com/fedora/installers/flibitSam2_2070b.tar.gz.

Running the game in Linux

To run the game, just run serioussam2.exe in the installation folder. You may have to chmod +x it first.

Serious Editor

To run the editor, just run serioussam2.exe in the installation folder. You may have to chmod +x it first.

Getting audio to work

To get audio working, move to the root of the Serious Sam 2 installation and make a symlink to your 32-bit libopenal.so. For Fedora, it looks like 

ln -s /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 libopenal.so.0
