Which package to choose

  • Windows 10/11 x64 (NinjaGaiden2-windows-x64.zip, 159.0 MB): Self-contained portable archive carrying ng2.exe, bundled Microsoft Visual C++ runtime DLLs, FFmpeg movie decoders, and all 663 pre-compiled SPIR-V shaders. Both AVX2 and SSE4.2 binaries are included inside the package; the launcher automatically runs the AVX2 binary on supported CPUs (2013+ Intel Haswell / AMD Zen+, Steam Deck), or falls back to SSE4.2 when NG2_NO_AVX2=1 is set.
  • Linux & Steam Deck x86_64 (NinjaGaiden2-x86_64.AppImage, 90.5 MB): Single-file AppImage built in an Ubuntu 22.04 container requiring only glibc 2.35+ and Python 3 (runs out of the box on SteamOS, Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 36+, and Arch). Mark it executable with chmod +x and launch it directly.
  • Diagnostic test builds in v0.5.67: Release v0.5.67 also includes optional Windows test archives for audio timing and Intel GPU driver debugging:

Common questions

Why does NinjaGaiden2-windows-x64.zip weigh 159.0 MB while the AppImage is 90.5 MB?

Both packages carry the statically recompiled game code twice: once compiled for SSE4.2 (any 64-bit CPU from ~2009 onward) and once compiled with AVX2 instructions: alongside all 663 pre-translated SPIR-V shaders, 333 recorded pipeline definitions, and FFmpeg video decoders. The AppImage squashfs filesystem compresses those dual binaries more tightly than standard ZIP deflate.

How do I verify my download from the command line?

Drop the file into the in-browser SHA-256 checker above, or run Get-FileHash .\NinjaGaiden2-windows-x64.zip -Algorithm SHA256 in Windows PowerShell (expecting e5d3d80b702d5c40…) or sha256sum NinjaGaiden2-x86_64.AppImage on Linux (expecting 7b66e77df8ccc358…).

When should I use the intel-gpu-test or audio-test ZIPs in v0.5.67?

Only download the diagnostic test archives if you are troubleshooting a specific Intel Arc / Iris Xe Vulkan presentation bug or testing cutscene audio sync changes for an upstream GitHub issue report. Standard Windows players should always download NinjaGaiden2-windows-x64.zip.
