WWE 2K16 Recomp

WWE 2K16 PC Recomp (By Banshee)

WWE 2K16 PC recompilation with a modern launcher, graphics options, non-destructive mod support, custom soundtrack, achievements and more.

Installation

1. Unzip the download into a folder of its own (e.g. C:\Games\WWE 2K16 PC).
2. Run WWE 2K16 PC.exe.
3. Under Game files, click Choose ISO and pick your WWE 2K16 .iso (or Choose folder for an extracted copy).
4. Pick your settings and press Play.

Requirements: Windows 10/11 64-bit, a Vulkan graphics card with an up-to-date driver, controller or keyboard, and the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime (already on Windows 11 and most Windows 10 PCs).

Saves, settings, music and DLC are kept in userdata next to the launcher, mods in mods, logs in logs. To update, unzip the new version over the old one: userdata and mods are kept.

Controls

An Xbox controller (or any controller Windows sees as one) works like on the Xbox 360. Keyboard works too; the full layout is under Controls in the launcher, and Controls > Custom lets you remap any button or key.

Troubleshooting

• Launcher doesn't open: unzip everything first, and check your antivirus didn't block WWE 2K16 PC.exe.
• Launcher is blank / black: install the WebView2 Runtime (link above).
• "Not an Xbox 360 disc image": the .iso has to be the Xbox 360 version; PS3 isos don't work.
• Game doesn't start or closes right away: update your graphics driver, check your antivirus didn't remove anything from the bin folder, and try the game folder instead of the .iso (or the other way round).
• Low framerate: lower the resolution, turn on FSR, turn off shadows, or set anti-aliasing to Off.
• A mod crashes the game: turn it off in the Mods tab.
• When reporting a problem, include what happened, your graphics card and Windows version, and the newest file from logs.

Online features of the original game are not available. This is an early release, so expect some bugs.
