007: NightFire XBE Recomp v1.0.2

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Launcher for Windows

A fix release of the unofficial native PC port of 007: NightFire (original Xbox).

Building on a drive such as exFAT: fixed

On a drive that does not record file owners (exFAT, FAT32 and some network shares), the build stopped just after downloading the source, with detected dubious ownership in repository in the launcher’s log, and pressing Build again stopped in the same place. The launcher now builds on these drives, carrying on from where it stopped. You do not need to change any Git settings. If you added a safe.directory exception for this, it does no harm.

In case you missed it: clean text, and PC Settings on the pause screen

The game’s pixelated text is redrawn from a real font (Sour Gummy Black), smooth at any resolution, in the menus and the HUD on foot and in the driving missions. PC Settings is a choice on the on-foot pause screen as well as the main menu.

New graphics settings

MSAA and FXAA are now separate, and there is a new sharpening setting (F1, Graphics; your old antialiasing setting carries over). The README compares them.

Other changes

The launcher’s log now records what its check for new releases found.
Updates to the shared runtime from the wider project.

Help and reports: the Discord server.

Updating

Open NightFireLauncher.exe: it should offer this release at the top. Press Update the launcher, and when it has restarted press Build. If no offer appears, download NightFireLauncher.exe below and put it in place of the old one. Your disc choice, saves and settings stay as they are.

No game files are included. You need your own copy of the game (the European PAL or the USA release). See the v1.0.0 notes for everything in the port.

Problems: the game’s log is in NightFire\play\logs, the launcher’s in NightFire\launcher.log.
