Some of the optional installs may cause slowdowns on older machines, so try them and back out if they're too slow.

  This is the by far the best place to ask any questions on this huge mod. A lot of very helpful NS veterans are still active here. Hit Cancel if it pops up shit about there being new forums, you want the old ones.

  If achillesdave releases new translations here, install them over your existing install.

### Saving
OP-2 has save and load helper keys in the main menu.  Press `S` in the main menu to create a named save, `L` to load the last save.  `S` will save and drop you back in the game, so `ESC S` is a quick way to create a unique, named save and far better than using quicksave.

Use this!  It's good to keep multiple saves in this game.  Keep an old save from the last couple levels to be safe, the game is 100s of hours long and you may want to roll back.
