  • Optimizations have been made to further improve the overall performance and stability of DOOM Retro.

  • Fast monsters can now be enabled by using the fastmonsters CCMD. Also, –fastmonsters as well as just –fast can be specified on the command-line.
  • Warnings displayed when parsing DeHackEd files and lumps are now only displayed if –devparm is specified on the command-line.
  • Automatically loading the last savegame when the player dies can now be disabled by using the autoload CVAR.
  • The intensity of the red haze effect when the player has the berserk power-up and their fists selected can now be changed using the r_berserkintensity CVAR. The default is 33%.
  • Player sprites may now be translucent if they are replaced in a PWAD by using Translucent = 1 for the relevant frame in DeHackEd files and lumps.
  • Thing flags specific to DOOM Retro can now be changed using Retro Bits instead of Bits2 in DeHackEd files and lumps.
  • A bug has been fixed whereby the use of unknown music names in MAPINFO lumps would cause a crash.
  • The s_musicvolume and s_sfxvolume CVARs are now corrected at startup if invalid.
  • The faceback CVAR has been renamed to facebackcolor.
  • The extraneous brown pixel in the super shotgun is no longer removed if the weapon is changed in a DeHackEd file or lump.
  • Further improvements have been made to the appearance of the rocket launcher's muzzle flash.
  • DoomEd numbers are now allowed as the parameter for the give, kill and spawn CCMDs.
  • The translucency of the super shotgun's muzzle flash is now disabled when the r_translucency CVAR is off.
  • A bug has been fixed whereby monsters would not respawn correctly when playing using the Nightmare! skill level.
  • The shadow of the player's corpse is now removed when resurrecting using either the resurrect CCMD or the iddqd cheat.
  • The console is now hidden when using the iddqd cheat to resurrect the player.
  • The screen now goes to black sooner when starting DOOM Retro.
  • DOOM II's cast sequence now works correctly when using SMOOTHED.WAD.
  • The console can no longer be opened during a screen wipe.
  • The bottoms of things that bob in liquid now animate.
  • A bug has been fixed whereby no monsters had lower pitches when the s_randompitch CVAR was enabled.
  • The error message displayed when doomretro.wad is invalid has changed.
  • bfg is now allowed as a parameter for the spawn and give CCMDs.
  • A bug has been fixed whereby the player was unable to switch back to the selfie stick once obtained in InstaDoom.
  • The last savegame will no longer be automatically loaded when the player dies of the pistolstart CVAR is enabled.
  • Individual monster kill counts used by the playerstats CCMD are now retained in savegames. Please note that this breaks savegame compatibility with previous versions of DOOM Retro.
  • The speed of the player can now be changed using the turbo CVAR. Functioning like the command-line parameter of the same name, it can be a value between 10% and 400% and has a default of 100%.
  • A bug has been fixed (that is present in Vanilla DOOM) whereby the player would go in reverse when running if their speed was set to a value greater than 255% using the –turbo command-line parameter.
  • Monsters can now respawn when playing a skill level other than Nightmare! by using the respawnmonsters CCMD. The –respawn command-line parameter has also been reimplemented, and –respawnmonsters may also be used.
  • The value set by Max Health in DeHackEd files and lumps is now only applied to health bonuses.
  • 100 extra things (numbered 152 to 251) have been added for use in DeHackEd files and lumps.

  • The arachnorbs in valiant.wad are now killed when using the kill CCMD.
  • Map names changed using a MAPINFO lump are now shown in the output of the maplist CCMD.
  • The WINDOWS key can no longer be used at any time when fullscreen. It can only be used when in a window, and the game is paused, or the menu or console is open.
  • Wall textures that are both animated and translucent can now be rendered correctly without causing a crash.
  • The E key may now be pressed as an alternative to SPACE to use doors, switches, etc. It is bound to the +use2 action.
  • When the vid_showfps CVAR is enabled, the frames per second is now displayed correctly while the screen shakes when the player is injured.
