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

  • Minor changes have been made to the character set used in the console.
  • Minor changes have been made to text that is output to the console.
  • The effects of the autotilt CVAR are now disabled while the freeze or no clipping modes are on.
  • The default value of am_gridcolor has been changed from 6 to 111, making the automap’s grid a slightly lighter gray.
  • If a berserk power-up was previously taken away from the player using the take CCMD, they may no longer equip their fists if they have a chainsaw.
  • The pistol may now be taken away from and given back to the player using the take and give CCMDs.
  • The thing triangles in the automap representing dogs will now be the correct size when using the IDDT cheat.
  • The player will no longer reload their super shotgun after firing their last two shells.
  • A bug has been fixed whereby not all monsters near the player would infight once the player died and the infighting CVAR was on.
  • Further improvements have been made to the support for Noiser’s DOOM 4 VANILLA.
