Hey there, Gogernauts.

I've got System Shock 2 and I'm rather enjoying myself, but I'm not sure if I'm using the right EXE to play it. See, I'm using a Wine loader (specifically, PlayOnLinux), and it asks me after installation to choose a shortcut for the game. However, both start.exe and shock2.exe seem to do the same thing on the surface. is there any difference between the two, and which should I use to play the game?

Wait wait wait.

What was the difference now again?

It's just something GOG thought they needed to add to prevent potential problems. It's explained well here:

Ah, I see.
