The guide has been updated to recommend the use of a new community modification which provides even better YouTube support, as well as other features. Read more in the next section.

This was not created by me.[audiosurf2.info] Follow the steps listed on this website and you will be able to use the Youtube URL feature again - as well as several extra new features!

If you were previously using an older version of this guide, you are probably on the 'beforejune_2018' Branch of AS2 - in order to use this version of the fix, you need to upgrade to the latest version.
To do this:

• Open your Steam Library
  
• Right-click on Audiosurf 2 and choose Properties
  
• Click on Betas and select None
  
• Click on Local Files and click Verify integrity of the game files
  
• Wait for Steam to verify the files

Once this is done, or if you are starting 'fresh', you can follow the guide below!

Download the patch files from this link, then...[files.audiosurf2.info]

• Open your Steam Library
  
• Right-click on Audiosurf 2 and choose Manage > Browse local files
  
• Move the downloaded archive file into the Audiosurf 2 directory
  
• Open the moved file
  
• Click Extract all at the top of the File Explorer
  
• In the popup dialog in the extract field, remove everything after \common\Audiosurf 2
  
• Click Extract (If you get warning about merging folders and replacing files, you did it correct, merge and replace all files!)
  
• Delete the archive file
  
• Start the game

If the loading screen shows credits, that means you installed the patch correctly!



All credit goes to the creators of the original fix & the website. I'm just trying to spread the word and raise awareness!

Here's a demonstration that this works with a video that was released in November. Check the video description for a link to the YouTube video I'm playing, if you want to try and beat my score (not very hard to do i imagine)

https://audiosurf2.info/ is more than just a fix for YouTube support in Audiosurf 2!

It also provides additional features such as:

• YouTube URL" can now load Playlists
  
• "YouTube Search" uses YouTube API now
  
• Playlist support (m3u/m3u8), ones with YouTube links in them work too!
  
• "Continuous Mode" (Playlist button beside Play button) to play all of a folder or playlist without interruptions
  
• Scoreboard card is now dynamically scaled so the text is never out of bounds!
  
• LastFM Tab in the Song Browser when login info is set in extras.xml
  
• Rails get created faster now so no more dropping out Highway elements in fast modes!
  
• 1,2,3 keyboard controls
  
• "MoreFolders" to add more folders to the root of the Song Browser (can be configured with an external app Audiosurf2_Tools

It is currently under active development! You can support it here:

In case it wasn't already obvious enough, I'm not the creator of this fix, or in any way affiliated with this fix. I cannot support this fix or be held responsible for any funky business that happens. All I can say is that this solution has worked for me.
