Just shared some more Killer App Mod v1.2 updates on both Twitter and Mastodon. Will provide the link to the Mastodon account, because it's for mod updates only. (The Twitter account is where I talk about all kinds of things.)
I'll be posting updates here on ModDB again soon, as well.
Progress updates will continue to be posted on Twitter, for those who have an account there. (In fact, for anyone reading, I just recently posted my evaluation of whether or not making Windows 11 AutoHDR work with TRON 2.0 was something worth pursuing as an addition to Killer App Mod v1.2.)
But since I discuss other things on my timeline (mainly about other parts of the TRON franchise), I also wanted a way for people to see only the progress updates. So the Mastodon account will strictly be for updates.
But, honestly, with how restrictive Twitter is becoming unless you're a paying subscriber – can only read a limited number of tweets per day, putting TweetDeck behind a paywall, who knows what's next – and the fact that the Moments feature was removed (where I was able to collect mod progress updates into one place) . . .
I just recently found out Twitter has introduced a new feature named Highlights that's a replacement for Moments, or I could have used hashtags, but you know what . . . it's too late, and creating an account elsewhere is also my backup plan if Twitter eventually becomes nigh-unusable.
Just posted a progress update for Killer App Mod v1.2: Twitter.com
Will be posting more updates here on ModDB as well, in the coming months.
Looking to release an "Early Access" version of v1.2 that might not be 100% complete, in the not-that-distant future.
Since the mod is packaged in a self-extractor: if it extracts successfully before you run it to install, it can't be incomplete or corrupt.
So best guess is you might be running out of disk space on one of your hard drives or SSDs, and because of that the installation is getting interrupted with that error. (The installer needs some temporary space while it installs, in addition to the installed content.) Either that, or some program running in the background is interfering with the install process.
Yes, the v1.2 update is still being worked on. As soon as I have a test version ready for release, I'll let everyone know.
There's a link named "Files" on every mod page on ModDB, and there's also a section near the bottom before the comments that lists the latest files/downloads. But I'll post a link: Moddb.com
Thank you for the kind words. :) Work on v1.2 continues, and it will be completed.
As mentioned previously, a test version is forthcoming that may not be fully 100% complete, but released earlier for those who want to try it early. As soon as this test version of v1.2 is ready, I will let everyone know.
At the time the current version of the mod was released, the GOG version of the game and Proton didn't exist. While no update was required for it to work with the GOG version, it looks like one will be required for Proton. I plan to do an interim release in the very near future, to address this and a few other issues.
It will be released. Work on v1.2 continues. And there will be a test version, earlier than the final release, for those who want to try it early. With the caveats that it won't be 100% done, and there may be minor issues.
As I've mentioned here and elsewhere: For about 4 years, up until a year ago, I had to help take care of an ill family member. This significantly impacted my free time, and for some time I've also been the only person working on this project. It wasn't until last year that I was able to make significant progress again, and I'm trying to get it done ASAP.
Kevin Lambert (the lead programmer of TRON 2.0) responded to me on Twitter: Twitter.com
As I mention in the news article, Killer App Mod v1.2 will be including what's needed so folks can create their own custom maps with "turn prompts" in Light Cycle maze style maps, if they want to. This opens up a new style of gameplay that was meant to be included in TRON 2.0, but didn't make it into the final release of the game.
This was the first of the two additional preview videos I mentioned I would be releasing, and further updates will be coming more frequently from now on. My life circumstances have changed, so I have a lot more free time now to work on Killer App Mod v1.2 (and User Error 3 after that). 🙂
I'm working on 21:9 aspect ratio and even other ones, including certain Eyefinity/Surround (aka multi-monitor) configurations, yes. :)
There's a bug in the game, where sometimes it won't show subtitles. Even if the subtitles option is set to on. Quitting the game and restarting can fix that.
If subtitles still don't appear, then see if the game is running at the resolution you selected during mod installation. Click the Display button on the game's launcher and check there.
The last thing you can try is visiting this guide and do a search for the phrase "off-screen" on that page, and follow the advice about parts of the HUD being off-screen: Steamcommunity.com
I'm guessing you're trying to play the custom Multiplayer Light Cycle maps in the Single Player Light Cycles mode (so Single Player > Light Cycles > Custom Play from the main menu), is that correct?
Those custom maps were made specifically for Multiplayer, and cannot be played in Single Player, unfortunately.
However, there is still a way you can play them. Visit this page I wrote a long time ago (ignore the part about REZ Handler, which is outdated), where it shows how to host your own local Multiplayer session.
But in the majority of cases, you will be playing without opponents. Only a couple of the custom Multiplayer Light Cycle maps added AI Light Cycle opponents (aka bots).
That is, unless you decide to make your Multiplayer session visible online. Which would then hopefully attract other players.
I just posted some progress updates on my Twitter account: Twitter.com
Those latest updates on Twitter are previews of two upcoming videos. Once both videos are done, I'll try to determine a reasonable ETA timeframe for when v1.2 will be made available.

The mod can be completely disabled via the Mod Manager, if that's what you want at any point. So you're back to playing the vanilla version of TRON 2.0. However, any games saved while playing the vanilla version cannot be used when the mod is enabled again. The reverse is also true.
As for Steam prompting you about doing a cloud backup: the mod modifies your configuration files, and it's important to upload to the cloud. If you download, you'll revert back to the default config files and this will cause issues when the mod is enabled.
The mod installer patches the game differently, depending on your resolution and aspect ratio selections, at the time of installation. (For example, cutscenes are modified to better suit your selected resolution/aspect.)
If there's been a change to the aspect ratio on your new monitor versus your older one, it will require reinstallation of the mod and selecting the options that match your current display, in order to avoid any issues.
The installer customizes the mod's content, and patches the game differently, depending on which options you choose during installation. It also automates a number of tasks that would be far too much of a chore for the end-user to do manually. So no, sorry, there isn't a version where you can just drop files into a folder.
That being said, there's a work-around for the issue you're having: Tronfaq.blogspot.com
I really wish ModDB would include an option to notify the mod creator(s) of *any* new comments, not just replies. There can be too many pages associated with a mod to check them all for new comments. So I either don't notice them until much later, or I just plain miss them.
Anyway, to address your issue: The mod swaps the original Light Cycle colors with new ones, in the Single Player circuits. If you want to play a circuit that asks for an original color Light Cycle, run the Mod Manager and uncheck "New Light Cycles Unlocked".
The next version of the mod will have all Light Cycle colors available, at once, in the Single Player circuits. (Multiplayer isn't affected, old and new Light Cycle colors are all available at once there.)
I've been working on improving the HUD for higher resolutions, yes. And if you mean the curved edge of the Light Cycle trail looks pixelated/jaggy, I agree.
I'll most likely end up doing some selective texture upgrades for v1.2, wherever it's needed most. (While more extensive research into which textures could benefit from upgrades, will have to wait for a potential v1.3. Even then, it won't be all of the textures because tests have indicated not all textures benefit from upscaling, and it would needlessly waste memory and disk space.)
Thanks for mentioning XBRZ, I'll look into that. There are so many upscaling tools out there now, it's hard to keep track of them all.
Sorry for the late reply. I'm currently still working on fixes to the Single Player levels for v1.2. I'll be posting another video previewing them, sometime in the next couple of months.
No. There's another video showcase that will be posted here soon, showing the latest progress.
I also post smaller updates here: Twitter.com
I know my reply is extremely late, and you've probably found a solution already. But, in case you or anyone wants to keep reading: it seems starting with the Windows 10 May 2019 update, ReShade is broken when used with some games.
I've seen people mentioning workarounds, and having varying degrees of success. Though, it looks like the authors of ReShade will still need to update it, for it to function correctly, and not require those workarounds.
(I'm seeing replies in that topic, from one month ago – at the time I'm writing this – suggesting the problem with ReShade still exists.)
Check your Taskbar's system tray (be sure to click the caret, aka up arrow, to see all the icons in the tray), and if the Steam icon is there: right-click the icon and choose Exit from the menu.
If the icon isn't there: Hit the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys simultaneously (on Windows 7 or newer) > Click "More details" at the bottom of the Task Manager window (on Windows 8/10) > Look for "Steam.exe" or "Steam Client Bootstrapper". If for some reason it's there, click on it and then click the "End task" button.
There's also some malware that can run in the background, pretending to be Steam. Hopefully that's not what's happening in your case. Reddit.com
A bit of a preview, of something that will be in the upcoming third Single Player Fixes trailer. The results of experimenting with AI tools to enhance the textures in TRON 2.0.
Sorry for the late reply! Well, hopefully it's a matter of months. Work has been progressing slowly, and is behind schedule. But progress nonetheless is being made, recently. For example, a third Single Player Fixes video should be posted in a news update fairly soon.
Support for Eyefinity/Surround setups and 21:9 is something I'm adding to v1.2, yes. Not sure yet how successful the implementations will end up being, but they should be better than it is right now. The cursor hit detection problem (mouse cursor not highlighting something while the cursor is directly on top of it, when working with subroutines) will also be fixed for all resolutions.
Usually, it takes a minute before Windows completely purges everything associated with a process from memory. So if you wait a bit after quitting TRON 2.0, that message will likely go away.
Right, you had me puzzled at first because I thought you were saying the mod wasn't working correctly. Now I know you meant that you feel the proportions of the vanilla, original 4:3 cutscene (at least in that specific shot) aren't correct to begin with.
I've tried modifying other glow options, and they all had either similar, or even undesirable, effects. If you want to turn off glow completely, because you'd like to use your own custom shader: I'd just use the in-game option under Options > Performance > Display > Enable screen glow to "Off".
I'm usually not a fan of custom shaders, but I'll admit yours does look good. :)
That particular cutscene in the original, unmodded game at 1024x768 and 4:3 aspect ratio looks like this:
Abload.de
Here's your (downsized) 1920x1200 16:10 screenshot with the mod active:
I.postimg.cc
Proportionally, I'd say the mod's cutscene in 16:10 aspect ratio is spot-on compared to the original 4:3.
To reduce or eliminate bloom, open autoexec.cfg in a text editor and look for "screenglowfiltersize". Adjust the number to your liking.
