Early access / Updated September 29, 2026

What to expect.

An honest record of current limitations. A launcher update does not automatically mean a gameplay issue is fixed.

Workaround confirmed in testing

Severe stutter after spawning with Medal

We reproduced a recording-hook conflict with Medal that stalled gameplay rendering immediately after spawning. Fully exiting Medal restored smooth gameplay in that test. If you see the same symptom, exit Medal and restart PlayM2. This does not establish the cause of every freeze or memory issue.

Under investigation

Long sessions and memory growth

Driving sessions have produced freezes and very high RAM usage during testing. We have not confirmed a general fix. Stop the session if memory keeps climbing and record session length and the activity that preceded the problem.

Needs further testing

Combat and world synchronization

Movement, vehicles and combat have undergone repeated two-player tests, but edge cases remain. Report the exact sequence and what both players saw. We do not yet claim complete synchronization of every native game interaction.

Release limitation

Windows installer signing

The installer is not yet signed with a Windows publisher certificate. Client runtime updates use a separate pinned signing key. A checksum or runtime signature does not turn the installer into a Windows-signed application.

Current scope

Supported game and server capacity

Only the tested Steam Mafia II Classic executable is supported. Definitive Edition is not supported. PlayM2 Freeroam currently has four test slots; community server binaries are not available.

Being prepared

Forum accounts and email

The community forum is open for reading during setup. Registration, posting, and account recovery will open after email delivery is verified.
