Kingdom Hearts II - Re:Fined [Aurora BETA | Built on 08.28.25 | v5.00]
Added 2025-08-28 11:15:42 +0000 UTCAn exciting BETA this time around. No more do I have to compile stuff and try to make dnSpy obey and what not!
This style of BETA, codenamed "Aurora", will slowly become the new standard. However, since this is the first test concerning it, things may be broken. Please do report any and all issues to me!
Changelog:
Added a feature where pressing TRIANGLE on a Form Keyblade will switch it with the Regular Keyblade.
Fixed an issue where Ansem Reports crashed the game.
Reassigned Retribution and Absolution Mimic to R3.
Fixed an issue where the Dream Weapon selection did not commit when skipping the Prologue.
Fixed an issue where the logs would not commit to the file correctly.
Reworked the logging system, it hopefully should be way clearer, faster, and shouldn't break.
Fixed a regressive issue where World Map Cutscenes were unaffected by Voice-Over Add-ons.
Fixed an issue where Atlantica Songs would crash if KH2-VanillaEnemy is used.
Fixed an issue where any and all VO Packs played Atlantica Songs with English Voices in the background.
Fixed an issue where the VO Packs did not affect Atlantica.
Blacklisted Atlantica from Auto-Save to prevent softlocks.
Fixed all remaining issues with Auto-Save.
Added a feature to customize Shortcut Set names through reFined.cfg.
Light and Darkness will no longer trigger Anti-Form if you have an outsider aiding you in battle, as it is with regular Anti-Form.
Fixed a regressive issue where setting the Soft Reset combination to "NONE" caused it to trigger indefinitely.
Fixed a regressive issue where Prologue Sora crashed the game when opening a shop.
Fixed a regressive issue where Atlantica Songs blackscreened when trying to play them.
Donald and Goofy will now have their Mage and Knight outfits in Disney Castle.
The World that Never Was and Garden of Assemblage will now have an Organization Moogle aiding you instead of a Holo-Moogle. They do like their pom-poms ruffled, so go nuts!
The Moogle at Garden of Assemblage is called "Mogster" and he is happy to assist the best he can.
Changes to Multi-Audio settings now have a preview of the language selected.
Changes to Multi-Audio and Background Music settings are now instantaneous and do not require a hot reload.
Ultrawide support has been reimplemented, better than ever. Almost all 2D elements are now accounted for.
Fixed an issue where Pirate Donald was treated like an enemy.,
Fixed issues with configuration not applying.
Movement Ability Refreshing no longer refills and/or resets stats.
Magic Registration no longer registers every single magic you have. It will now skip the magic that has already been registered by the game itself. This both saves time and memory space, and reduces Remastered Asset Mismatch and crashes.
The Config option will no longer show on forces pauses (such as switching from Roxas to Sora, and the pause before Data Xemnas) to prevent issues from cropping up.
Removed the EXE requirements of Re:Fined. The entire package is now an OpenKH mod entirely.
YOU HAVE TO VERIFY GAME FILES TO INSTALL THIS VERSION OF RE:FINED IF YOU PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED IT IN ANY CAPACITY!
