SRB2 v2.0.6 is now available! This should hopefully fix most of the problems in v2.0.5.

Due to the nature of this release, there will be no patch for this release. For those who wish to retain their gamedata/configuration, we advise making a backup of gamedata.dat and config.cfg before installation.

Download v2.0.6 here! As with last time, click “more” for a more detailed list of changes.

UPDATE: Non-torrent download now available!

v2.0.6 Changelog

General
– OpenGL has officially been enabled, use the -opengl parameter to activate it. As always, OpenGL is unsupported, so if something doesn’t display right, we’re not going to be worrying about it.
– Compiled the EXE using GCC to prevent errors concerning consistency protection and dedicated servers.
– Added support for per-level palettes.
– Moved SRB2’s levels to a new resource file, zones.dta.
– PNG screenshots now include map, level, and location metadata.
– Updated SOCEdit to function with the latest version of SRB2.
– Brak Eggman’s missiles now aim slightly above the player, rather than at their feet.
– Hall of mirrors protection now defaults to off due to framerate problems in 2.0.5.

DSZ1:

– Moved a spring that was in a strange location to a more logical one.
