Issues fixed

Cannot get past the launcher

It is possible to bypass the launcher if it does not work properly (usually related to .NET Framework issues on the system).
Create a launcher bypass file[4]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>.
  2. Open either the sm1 or sm2 subfolder, i.e. the binary folder of either game (which will include either Shenmue.exe or Shenmue2.exe).
  3. Create a blank text file within that folder called steam_appid.txt.
  4. In that text file, enter 758330 and then save the file.
  5. Create a shortcut to/run the game via the aforementioned Shenmue.exe or Shenmue2.exe.
  6. (Optional) Repeat for the other binary folder if required.
