DOOM Retro v2.3.4 is now available. It may be downloaded here, and its release notes are as follows:

• Optimizations have been made to further improve the overall performance and stability of DOOM Retro.
• Minor changes have been made to text that is output to the console.
• The console now opens and closes faster.
• The game will no longer crash when opening the console on the title screen and using the mouse wheel to scroll upwards.
• Instead of toggling capping of the framerate at 35 FPS, the value of the vid_capfps CVAR is now the actual frames per second at which the framerate will be capped. It can be off, or between 35 and 1,000 FPS, and is 200 FPS by default. All interpolation is automatically disabled when this CVAR is set to 35 FPS. This CVAR has no effect if it is set to a value greater than the display’s refresh rate and the vid_vsync CVAR is on.
• Vertical sync with the display’s refresh rate now works correctly when the vid_vsync CVAR is on and the vid_scaleapi CVAR is "opengl".
• The vid_scaleapi CVAR is now "opengl" by default.
• The vid_scalefilter CVAR is now "nearest_linear" by default.
• The vid_vsync CVAR is now on by default.

DOOM Retro v2.3.3 is now available. It may be downloaded here, and its release notes are as follows:

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

• The s_musicvolume CVAR is now 66% by default.
• The r_diskicon CVAR is now off by default.

• Obituaries are now displayed correctly for monsters killed by a barrel exploding.

• The external automap enabled using the am_external CVAR will now be recreated successfully when changing another CVAR that causes the graphics subsystem to be restarted.
• The vid_motionblur CVAR now has a value of either on or off rather than a percentage, and is off by default. The motion blur effect it enables now better matches the player’s turning speed regardless of the control method used.
• The additional motion blur effect applied when the player is injured and the r_shakescreen CVAR is on will now only be applied when the vid_motionblur CVAR is also on.
• The gp_vibrate CVAR that toggles the vibration of XInput gamepads has now been replaced by two CVARs: gp_vibrate_damage for the amount of vibration when the player is damaged, and gp_vibrate_weapons for the amount of vibration when the player fires their weapon. Both accept a value between 0% and 200% and are 100% by default.
