  • AM2RLauncher

    Host respository for the AM2RLauncher.

  • As a quick note here from one of the AM2R community developers: If you do decide to use the Windows version *please* use the [Windows AM2RLauncher](https://github.com/AM2R-Community-Developers/AM2RLauncher/releases) instead of just unzipping a random version you find on the internet. Not only does that guarantee you that you'll be on the latest Community Update, but it also enables you mod support (for example a Multiplayer mod) and guarantees that your AM2R versions are not from any third-party sites which could've done what-have-you-not with them.

  • AM2R-Community-Updates

    Source code for AM2R 1.5.2+, free of copyrighted assets and trademarks.

  • Our source code is public on GitHub with a few caveats/bugs due to the DMCA, but building on a user's own end just to play on the Deck is entirely unfeasible for several reasons:

  • AM2R-Autopatcher-Linux

    Host repository for the AM2R Linux update data.

  • If you've got the technical knowledge to do all this... honestly you're best of just spinning up a Linux VM, running the AM2RLauncher from it, and copying your files over from there to your Deck. Or using our Python autopatcher script to do the same without the AM2RLauncher overhead. Might work way better than the Launcher on the Deck since it doesn't ever need to touch .NET.
