Issues fixed

Progression not saved

Level selection.

In some cases, Shank 2 on Windows will not save the player's progress. There is an easy way to remedy this.

Shank 2 game save workaround • Link Notes The source for this workaround can be viewed here. You will need a pre-existing Shank 2 savegame.sav file in order to proceed. You can find one here. This is not a blank file. However, you will be able to clear its contents should you wish to start a fresh game. Create a new folder in your Shank 2 folder, name it users. If this: c:\games\shank2 is the path to your Shank 2 install folder, then the path to the users folder should be: c:\games\shank2\users Extract the savegame.sav file in the users folder. Start the game. To make sure that the game sees an actual save file, select Campaign Mode from the main menu. After choosing a difficulty mode, you should see the level selection screen. To erase the contents of the save file: select Help & Options in the main menu, then select Clear Save Data.
