Humble Indie Bundle 4 now includes the full Official Soundtrack for every bundled game, which of course includes the Shank 1 OST!
That’s 5 games for whatever you want, helps charity, and includes 7 game soundtracks. Seriously, even if Shank wasn’t a part of the bundle, it’s a killer deal!
UPDATE: We’ve now also posted the lossless FLAC version that you can download for free!
- Download the Shank 1 OST in mp3 format here.
- Download all 400mb of lossless the Shank 1 OST here.
Also, Ryan is working hard to fix issues on the new platforms that we’ve launched on. Note that he’s also working on Super Meat Boy and other HIB ports, so please be patient — he’s only (super) human. Hit the jump for some updates on known issues that we’re looking into.
If you have more issues, please let us know by emailing us at support AT kleientertainment.com, tweeting us, or posting below, with your system specs and any other information that could help use narrow down the issue. Thanks again for supporting the bundle! It means a lot to us.
OSX
- On the first boss, the game slows down significantly on some systems. Currently this is the only known portion of the game that slows down.
- On the Xbox controller, the right bumper maps to the Escape key, bringing up the pause menu.
- Some users have been reporting a crash on load, and their specs have been passed on for investigation.
- Some users have reported that, with a controller plugged in, Shank continually runs to the left.
Linux
- On some configurations, the game crashes on load. We will try to fix as many of these as possible, but please note that Ryan will not be able to handle every configuration.
Windows
- Certain laptops run in refresh rates that are not supported by Shank (61hz seems especially bad). We can give another executable that forces the game to run in windowed mode, and this seems to work around the majority (but not all) of the users.
- Some users were getting “Error contacting key server” on Steam — this has since been resolved.


cool:)
Hi,
I’m running Shank from the Humble Indie Bundle 4, on Ubuntu 11.10 with Intel HD 3000 graphics (basically the i7 2xxx graphics).
This is the last build directly from icculus, and now that works with mesa driver (linux free opengl implementation).
It seems that the first boss slowdown is also occurs on that system with that build.
So where’s that Shank 2 remix?
Any ideas when the first boss slow down issue in Mac OS X will be fixed?
I’ve emailed Ryan for a followup and asked for an ETA — I know he’s looking into it. Hopefully soon, but it is the holiday weekend!
@ 10.6.2:
There is no vibration support for the controller in Shank for Mac?
Hopefully soon. This is the whole reason i bought the pack!
@Phin: Then it is going to be a hard time for you I’m afraid.
And I’m on 10.7.2 btw, can’t get Vibration option at On in the settings, instead it stays at Off. Maybe it has to do with porting XInput to Mac support?
Anything yet?
I got shank in HumbleBundle4. I am also seeing a crash on load for Linux (Mint 11) and Mac OSX (10.5.8) on load.
I’m seeing the crash on MacOSX 10.5.8 on load as well… Any solutions?
Hi,
I’ve bought Shank (as part of the HIB) and I’m unable to run it on both Mac OS X and Linux.
When I try it on Mac OS X it crashes when loading (I got some OpenGL related errors). On Ubuntu 10.04 (LTS) it simply doesn’t install. dpkg outputs the following error message:
dpkg: error processing shank_20111207_i386.deb (–install):
short read in buffer_copy (backend dpkg-deb during `./usr/local/games/shank/data/movies/2b_02_1.ogv’)
Errors were encountered while processing:
shank_20111207_i386.deb
The file integrity appears to be OK (the md5sum matches with the one from the HIB website).
Please feel free to contact me if you need further information.
Keep up the great job!
Same here :(
I missed out on the Humble Bundle 4. Where do I grab a copy of Shank 1 for GNU/Linux, as the bundle is now closed?
Right now, there isn’t a Linux version available for purchase, but we’re currently looking at a Desura port.
Ok, but a Desura version are most welcome, and would of course mean easier updating of the game too. Thanks for answering me. :-)
Just F.Y.I, I’m also trying to run Shank on a Mac. I sometimes get a ‘fuzzy’ ‘broken nintendo’ type screen when i try to play the first level. I can hear the character moving and some things show up like power bars and tips and things, but nothing else is visible behind the pixelated mess. I’m running imac, snow leapord, intel core duo processor. my graphics card might be an ATI Radeon X1600? i dunno, is that a graphics card? just trying to provide useful specs.
The game slows down on linux too, exactly like osx bug .
Ryan just fixed this issue and is currently testing it. Give this a shot: http://t.co/XQWEKuNy
shank is working nicely for me with the fix, thanks!
Hoping to get some news on the mac port. All of my windows friends have already beat the game. :(
Opps, just saw they posted some fixes. Fixed my issues! Yay! Shank rules! =)

I got the OSX version with the Indie Bundle and it’s virtually unplayable with an Xbox controller. None of the buttons are mapped properly and when I try to remap them it seems to think both triggers are the same axis?! This means I can’t even map all the controls properly.
I have all the necessary drivers to make the Xbox 360 controller work on the Mac and it works fine with all my other games and emulators, just not with this one.
Anyone having the same issue or know a fix?
Hi,
I am on OSX,
really nice game (bought in HIB) but, following your suggestion to use a gamepad,
I ordered and just received my usb adapter for my wireless x360 gamepad:
mapping it’s all messed up for met too.
happy I am not the only stranded camper…
are you planning a fix?
D’oh! Sorry about that! Have you tried with the latest patch?
https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5384#c3
If it still happens let me contact Ryan and see what we can do.
tried latest binary but same messy gamepad settings dpad down = jump dpad up chainsaw dpad left knife dpad right pistols
left analog pad movement other pads and buttons seem dead….
Got it. Ryan just got back to me — he’s working on the 360 controller issue right now. Ryan recently had a newborn, so hopefully we all give him some slack. Thanks for your patience!

Alas, not right now. We’re working on getting it on the platforms proper, though!
The game is awesome.i like the combat style of shank.also the dressing is rockkkkkk.please build up the 3rd part of shank soonnnnnn.
Hi guys, same problem with xbox 360 controller.
I’m using this driver
http://mice-software.com/
that works fine with other game but Shank seems to do a mess with the mapping. Also you could use a keyboard key to “activate” the editing of game controller command. Right now I can do it pressing a button of the controller but this button change every time I run the game o.O
Thank you soooooooo much for the music!!!!!!
I have a laptop 61 Hz issue. How can i solve it? Plz, help me
I’m running Shank (bought with HIB4) on my Linux laptop. The refresh rate does not allow to run in fullscreen mode.
How do I run Shank windowed?
