Dweller Dark Posted September 3, 2020 Just a few minutes ago, I was checking to see if any of my games had updates via Steam and there were two updates, one for Ultimate Doom and the other for Doom 2. Both updates are around 270-300 megabytes, but no Steam news came out for either of them. Has anyone else gotten these updates and figured out what they're for? 0 Share this post Link to post
kwc Posted September 3, 2020 I believe they updated to the Bethesda port 3 Share this post Link to post
JXC Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) That's what they did. The Bethesda Unity port is under the rerelease folder. 1 Share this post Link to post

SaladBadger Posted September 3, 2020 uh, the steam version still comes with completely unmodified vanilla iwads, as well as the old dosbox setup and original binaries, so there's no problems there... 26 Share this post Link to post

Really? i thought it was modified since when i tried getting it out of my doom eternal install, it showed in gzdoom as " DOOM: Unity edition". EDIT: something along those lines 1 Share this post Link to post

I love how everybody is scared that their WADs will all be gone. You can alternate between the two. Beth and ID wouldn't be evil and not allow you to keep your data, this is just their new way of promoting the new port. Don't be scared. All is fine. 2 Share this post Link to post

StoneMason Posted September 3, 2020 Interesting. Just downloaded the steam versions, and they already used my settings from the bethesda.net launcher versions, including the addons already installed. Noticed I can use the original cheats now, no longer having to rely on the cheats menu. Also noticed that BTSX E2 now in fact has some of its dehacked stuff working, such as the instant death exit in map16. Probably because it was changed for the bethesda port, but Map14 is still using the regular ammo dropping zombiemen for it's final fight instead of the dehacked versions that the public version has, though. 1 Share this post Link to post
