Uh, just started the installation, but the game now weights 430 MB… does not bode well.

dreamer commented 3 years ago

OK, they just added new, "great", Unity-based implementation of Doom - that's what weigh those 400MB. But they preserved original DOS version (thankfully).

When starting select "Launch DOS Version" or "Launch DOS version with classic controls" and Boxtron happily auto-detects the settings and everything works as it should :)

I haven't tested Doom II yet.
