• The texture offset of linedef 638 in MAP10 of DOOM2 has been corrected.
• The compiler used to build DOOM Retro, and its version, are now displayed in the console at startup.
• A bug has been fixed whereby pressing a mouse or gamepad button at startup in the brief moment before the splash screen appears would cause the screen to stay black.

• The armor bar in the alternate HUD is now slightly thinner, and divided into five rather than four sections.
• The larger digits used in the alternate HUD are now consistent with the smaller ones.
• The screen’s green haze when the player has the radiation suit power-up will now be visible if the player also has the berserk power-up, their fists selected, but the r_berserkintensity CVAR set to 0%.
