A downloadable mod for Windows

Welcome to Hotline Miami: Redux-Redux 

After 1 year of development it's worth the weight... I mean wait! 

Redux-Redux (R-R) is a project that aims to fix and add Redux features that were abandoned by their author. At this point we have fixed Tony on Hardmode and many-many other stuff that was causing the game to crash. I want to clarrify for those who didn't play: the work goes deeper than "just camera shake."

Some people think that R-R is a modpack or even a JOKE for Pi0h1. R-R isn't any of those things, it's what we all hoped Redux would be. We are only improving it and want to continue the mod.

HEY! Installation instructions were moved to the bottom of the page, right below the download button. Don't miss out on them, because there's a high chance you can get stuck at this stage... Apparently a lot of you do.

    Install instructions

    HOW TO DOWNLOAD HOTLINE MIAMI REDUX-REDUX?

    • 1. Downloading the Mod

     The first step is to download the Hotline Miami Redux-Redux mod from the itch.io or Boosty platforms. Find the mod page on your platform of choice and click on the download button to save the mod files to your computer.

    • 2. Installing the Mod

    There are 2 archives, one is for the Steam version and second one without requirement for the original game. If you have the Steam version, overwrite or merge files in the process if necessary. If you have a pirated version or no Hotline Miami at all then simply unpack the mod archive into any folder.

    IMPORANT: While we are constantly working on the mod, there are still a lot of bugs, save system isn't an exception. If you're worried about your saves and your progress in the original game, we recommend you install standalone version and copy your save files from your previous installation of R-R (HLM 1 save files should also partially work) over to it or you can download a full unlocked save and put them in Appdata\Roaming\Hotline_Miami_Redux_Redux\.

    • 3. Launching the mod

    After unpacking the mod into the game installation folder, you can launch Redux-Redux through the executable file, but not through the Pi0h1's launcher (Advanced options), because in that case the game will simply not start (We are already working on a new launcher)

    Now you can enjoy the game with the Hotline Miami Redux-Redux mod!

    Hi!, it's me again, RetroBull who wrote about the upgrade back in April-May (I don't remember exactly when). I'm still playing Hotline miami Redux - Redux, and today I was wondering if there's any progress on updating this resource, and if so, did my idea about hardcore and masks get a boost for development, or was it immediately discarded? (And yes, I'm still using the damn translator =] )

    Well, kind of.

    I downloaded the mod on my girlfriend's laptop, but for some reason my game is very slow and I wanted to know if it's something in the mod that can be solved. I'm happy to know if there's a solution.

    (1 edit)

    Приветствую. Мод отличный, я в него играл с давних пор. Но возникает такая проблема, что мой комп, тянущий Красный Мертвый Искупление 2 на средне-высоких в 60 фпс, не может вытянуть Горячую Линию Майами Редукс-Редукс даже с включенной оптимизацией через настройки. 
    Раньше все шло со свистом, а теперь полу-слоумо, полу-фигпоймичто. 


    Я когда то начинал проходить ваш мод на Ютубе и один разраб мне написал, что стоит обновить пека, потому что мод так себе идет на слабых пк, особенно учитывая то что еще и запись жрет ФПС. Я послушал его, через полгода сделал апгрейд, и тогда тоже все шло хорошо. 


    Но вот именно эта обнова всю малину испортила, даже без записи игра идет в лютейшем слоумо, заставляя меня возвращаться в те времена. Обнову стоило назвать "Flashback Update". Графика у меня если что от AMD, не думаю что советы для Nvidia мне помогут.


    П.С. Извините, зря быканул. У меня был включен Radeon Chill, который выключить смог только с помощью сочетания клавиш. Я так и знал, что проблема изза него, но не мог понять как его выключить, потому что драйвер не открывается и только после того как загуглил, я попробовал и реально сработало. Удачи вам в ваших начинаниях.

    Please make a port for Android. I need to take this mod everywhere.

    is Linux compatibility coming in the future? This would rock on a steam deck!

    Same as last reply. That could happen in the next update, but it will take a long time, I hope we get things right and fast. For now there’s none Linux version, I am quite sorry.

    A little while after I left that comment, I actually ran the EXE in proton, and I will say that it does work on the experimental branch, but I was unable to remap the controls to be for controller 

    make it available for Mac please 🥹

    That could happen in the next update, but it will take a long time, I hope we get things right and fast. For now there’s none Mac version, I am quite sorry.

    How the hell do i reset the save data?

    Go to settings > game > delete progress.

    can u make a video talking about how to do it please

    Does anyone think that "Good at Melee" should just be a general game feature? It feels like every Heavy Weapon should be able to do that.

    the interlope command scared the shit outa me lol

    THE WHAT!?????!?!?!?

    only problem is the game running much slower than before. there is a fix for nvidia, but is there one for intel? I am running on MacBook Air Early 2015 (Windows 10), specs are i5-5250U 1.60GHz, 8GB DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 6000

    The game engine performs poorly with integrated graphics. As for Intel, we don’t know exactly how to optimize the game in this case.

    Рикошет работает и у выстрелов противника. Вместе с разбросом обычных выстрелов, малым количеством отражающих поверхностей и случайным шансом рикошета маска Рика бесполезна.

    Fullhouse и Assault на Харде приятные, но Push It превратился просто в лютую помойку. 1 этаж - если у первого нет холодного оружия - делаешь крюк. Левый этаж - молись, чтобы оказался скорострельный огнестрел. Правый этаж - багает револьвер в подсобке (Появляется не за Расмуса)+прострел в конце коридора от трех противников с двух сторон=фигота. Здесь даже доказывать как-то странно.

    Доджер на Clean Hit вынуждает использовать топор, вынуждает тебя разобраться с ним до окна, поскольку может произойти вот это. Не надо так. Самое смешное, что за Обри этаж вообще простым становится. Может все-таки заменить врага на толстяка? Да и подбор топора неудобный.

    Зак смешной, но бессмысленный. Брендон очень нестабильный.

    У мили доджеров изредка свитчится анимация - быстро прокручивается. Не зависит от типа оружия.

    Про Чарли все еще не согласен со скоростью анимаций.

    В некоторых случаях (Причина не установлена, ПОСТОЯННО НА PUSH IT) добивание стоя дает пушку врага без патронов

    "Added intros for masks that start with weapons" - Обри, Грехем, Рик, Чарли, Карл без них. Но добавленные анимации крутые.
    ...
    ...
    ...

    Нафиг я вообще этими жалобами занимаюсь...

    Некоторые описанные проблемы фиксим прямо сейчас. Спасибо.

    Thanks for the great update.
    I've been enjoying the mod a lot, despite the crashes.

    Thankfully restarting the game is super fast, so it's not that big of a deal.

    I found what could possibly be a bug, or just something I broke by cheating, but I figured I should let you know either way:

    When I used the console to check out what other maps were available, I randomly found the Rasmus Hardmode unlock map.
    However, the mask was not unlocked afterward.

    I later found out how to unlock it legitimately in Clean Hit Hardmode, but even then it would only stay unlocked for as long as I didn't quit back to the main menu.
    As soon as I quit, it would be locked again.

    Anyway, thanks again.
    Hoping to see more cool stuff from you guys soon.

    WHY AM I SO SLOW WHEN WALKIG?

    it’s all because of the stupid version of the engine.

    Go to the nvidia panel > manage 3D parameters > software settings, then add HMRR. Now the game works just perfect” Someone found a solution in the comments, try it.

    Hi, it's me again. When I saw that they updated it, I reinstalled the game and now it's worse. I put the optimize option but it still doesn't work and I don't think it's my PC. I also don't know if I'm installing the game wrong. I hope you can help me.

    it’s all because of the stupid version of the engine.

    The Nvidia panel doesn't appear and I don't think it will work because my PC doesn't have an Nvidia graphics card. Is there any other solution?

    You should optimize the mod. Hotline Miami 1 and 2 are normal in my PC and this version is slow. . It seems that Crypto are undermining my PC. He has even crashed because "Out of Memory".

    I am playing at 640x480 with colored limit to 16 bits so that it goes better and the difference is noticeable.

    Yes, I enable the performance option and I have disabled the another option (which was disabled by default).

    I have an i5 with 8 RAM. Maybe an idea. But I find it hard to believe that it is so slow.

    Ну типа. Скачай андертейл-мод-тул и достань из файлов.

    can't you lock the aim pointer like in normal hlm?

    it's my only downside because i play on steam deck

    will it be changed in the controller feature that is on beta rn?

    Every time I open the game it gives me the following error, is it something with my PC and if so how can I fix it?

    bro, the game are very lagging so quite

    So man, I did what you asked me to do but it didn't change anything :(

    Very Good, only Bugs I encountered were:
    1. Jones's chainsaw wall executions do not give points or extend combo

    2. There was an instance of blood from the previous floor apearing on the floor above (Specifically in Full House, dunno if it's specific to that level or not)

    3. There were 2 instances of 2 tracks playing over eachother: 

    One in the post level score screen, where in an unrelated level track started playing (Crystals started playing on top of the score screen track, I just finished a level where level track was not in fact Crystals)

    Another when finishing the final level of Jackets part of the campaign, wherein I left the level, the final level track continued playing even when I re-entered the level, it just doubled both on top of eachother


    Overall very good, not many bugs at all, and the ones there were weren't harmfull to any significant degree. If I had any suggestions, it'd be changing Willem to be more usefull. This could be accomplished by shortening the throat rip execution, or other things (IDRK, I haven't put too much thought into it). But yeah fantastic job!

    Hello! I would like to share my impressions and suggestion regarding Hotline Miami Redux.


    The game left a great impression - the original was good, but the Redux version feels even better: visually more pleasant, gameplay is fresher and overall feels like a more developed experience. Thank you for the work done and attention to detail!


    I have a suggestion regarding masks. It would be interesting if in normal mode masks had the same properties as in hardcore. For example, Graham's mask in hardcore allows you to take a crowbar with you, but in normal mode this is not possible. Or Tony's mask - if when changing the skin in normal mode it was also impossible to take a weapon (as it is implemented in hardcore), this would make the gameplay fairer and more interesting. Now changing the skin allows you to bypass this limitation, and the uniqueness of the mask is lost.


    If the implementation of such a function is possible, I would be very grateful!!!

    We are already testing this, I think in the next update we will add the ability to take Hardmode masks in Normal Mode.

    I think I cheated, we have ALREADY added the ability to change masks. switching to A D

    (1 edit)

    Suggestion: Ability to use gameplay effects of masks from Hardcore mode in normal mode by changing the skin


    I think the idea will be useful and interesting for players: add the ability to use gameplay effects of masks from Hardcore to normal mode if you select an alternative skin of this mask (via A and D when selecting).


    Example: Tony's mask. In Hardcore, it has a unique effect that enhances gameplay. My suggestion is that when choosing a mask skin in normal mode (for example, a more shabby one), this skin should activate the gameplay effect from Hardcore, without having to turn on the mode itself.


    This is not about visuals, but about gameplay properties. Such a system will give more freedom in customizing the style of play and will allow you to experiment with mask effects without limiting the player to the framework of one mode

    I use a damn translator and that's probably why it's hard for me to get my point across to you

    We will think about this, but thank you for your suggestion.

    very gud:)))

    After beating a level, the game crashes. Besides that, I don't have any other problems. It happens when Jacket gets in the car and the screen goes black, then it crashes immediately

    Please, can you give us error?

    I'm sorry, but when this happens I don't get any info or an error code tab — it just goes black and closes abruptly.

    Do you think that reinstalling the game and Redux could improve it in some way?

    After completing a level in hard mode, the rank is reset. What to do?

    Game is lagging.My pc has like 16gb ram n its still lagging,i really dont think this is because of my pc but for the game itself

    If your game is lagging so badly we recommend turn off VHS error and turn on optimizer in the settings, if the game still lagging, send us your specs of the PC.

    Nah i really was stupid. Already found the path to save files

    Deadline is impossible. After finishing the level this thing just restarting. Also maybe i am stupid but i didn't found any information about where i need to put save files. I tried just put into the game files and after that in directory with saves original hotline miami (through documents) but i still not updated my saves.

    We’ve already fixed that. Download it again

    i don't think it is supposed to be a notepad. help

    What do you mean?

    i download the mod and it is just a notepad.

    Are you sure you downloaded the game and not save?

    I downloaded the Hotline Miami: Redux-Redux [Victory Update]

    This is an archive. You don’t seem to have an archiver, so the file is displayed on the PC as a piece of paper.

    After the tutorial and after the first encounter with the cock and the company i have this error right here
