OS X version download (Royal and Premium retail versions)

Owners of Windows-only retail special editions can download the OS X Installer. The Windows install DVD is required.

Worldmerge mod

Worldmerge combines the originally separate world areas of the main campaign, multiplayer maps and Pirates of the Flying Fortress DLC into a unified world with many additions and balance changes. This mod requires the Pirates of the Flying Fortress DLC.

Issues fixed

"Two Worlds II has stopped working" crash at launch

Install the NVIDIA PhysX System Software^{[citation needed]}

Interface elements go beyond the screen edges

Some TVs and other non-standard displays will not show the entire image so UI elements may get cut off. Two Worlds II has a built-in feature to counter this.

If possible disable the cropping behaviour in the display's own settings first (see Overscan for details).

Use safe area in interface^{[citation needed]}
Go to Settings, Graphics. Choose Use safe area in interface. Adjust the edges as directed until the box shown fits the correct area. Resume play and confirm that the changes are sufficient; if not adjust again until it is correct.

VR support

3D modes	State	Notes
Native 3D		AMD HD3D or frame packed stereoscopic. Launch with supplied shortcut or use `-adapter` parameter.
Nvidia 3D Vision		Launch with supplied shortcut or use `-adapter` parameter. See also Helix Mod: Two Worlds 2 (DX9).
