  • DOOM Retro’s window can now be resized properly if the vid_fullscreen CVAR is off and the vid_widescreen CVAR is on.
  • Minor changes have been made to text that is output to the console.
  • The F5 key may now be used to toggle the graphic detail while the automap is open and the status bar is visible (that is, when the r_screensize CVAR is less than 8).
  • Player messages will now quickly fade off of the screen if the fade CVAR is on.
  • The messages CVAR is now on by default.
  • Any screen shake will now be canceled when warping to another map using the IDCLEV cheat or loading a savegame in some instances.
  • The credits screen will now be displayed for the same amount of time as the title screen.

  • The id Software logo is no longer missing from certain title screens.
  • The correct credits screen is now displayed for the registered version of DOOM.
  • Vanilla DOOM’s notorious blockmap bug has now finally been fixed.
  • Par times are now shown on the intermission screen when playing Chex Quest.
  • A bug has been fixed whereby some sound effect lumps in the WAV format wouldn’t play correctly.
  • The pitch of sounds made by monster projectiles are no longer randomized if the s_randompitch CVAR is on.
  • The player’s weapon sprite is no longer cut off when reloading the super shotgun after firing it, and if the vid_widescreen CVAR is on and the r_screensize CVAR is 8.
  • Minor improvements have been made to the support of Freedoom: Phase 2.
