Def Jam Recompiled v1.0.1

for Windows, for Linux (AppImage), for macOS (Apple silicon)

v1.0.1 — Linux ships as one AppImage

A packaging hotfix for v1.0.0. The game, the app and the setup behave as in v1.0.0; only the Linux downloads change.

As always, you need your own supported USA Xbox dump. No game files or game executables are distributed.

Linux and Steam Deck players: update by hand once. The Linux app is now DefJamRecompiled-1.0.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage. The v1.0.0 AppImage looks for the old file name, and the v0.13.0 Linux setup looks for a setup download that no longer exists, so neither offers this update. Download the AppImage below and open it: it finds your installation and offers to update the game, keeping your saves, settings and mods. From then on it updates itself.

Downloads

Windows: DefJamRecompiled-1.0.1-windows-x64.exe.
Linux and Steam Deck: DefJamRecompiled-1.0.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage. It installs, updates and adds itself to Steam, and builds the game with a toolchain it carries.
macOS (Apple Silicon): DefJamRecompiled-1.0.1-macos-arm64.zip.
The Windows and macOS setup tools (DefJamSetup-1.0.1-windows-x64.exe, DefJamSetup-1.0.1-macos-arm64.dmg) are attached as well. Every file has its SHA-256 and provenance.

What changed

Linux ships only the AppImage (#199). The separate Linux setup download (DefJamSetup--linux-x64.tar.gz) is no longer published. The AppImage carries the same setup and does everything it did.
The AppImage names its platform (#199): DefJamRecompiled--linux-x86_64.AppImage, like the Windows and macOS files. The app and the website still recognise the old name for v1.0.0.

Moving to 1.0.1

Windows and macOS, from 1.0.0: the app offers this release as an update. Then it offers Update game, which builds the game again from your dump. Your saves, settings and mods are kept.
Linux and Steam Deck, from 1.0.0 or v0.13.0: download the AppImage above and open it, as described at the top.

Tested for this release

Windows 11: unit tests (706 passed; the Linux-only ones are skipped on Windows) and the source policy check.
CI: the Windows, macOS and Linux app and setup builds, the Linux setup’s wizard smoke test and the release asset checks.
The game itself is unchanged from v1.0.0, so the full regression was not rerun. See the v1.0.0 notes for its test results and known issues.
