Disabled intro videos completely by default (in case anyone forgets to delete the video files/use command-line parameters).Adjusted the default music volume slightly.Changed the Environmental and Overall Brightness so the game doesn't look too bright compared the original Nintendo 64 version (or Doom 64 EX).Have the game use OpenGL API instead of Vulkan in case someone's PC doesn't have access to Vulkan support on their video card and don't want to see the errors caused by the stock DirectX 11 shaders.So in between trying to correct having 'Use' set to both Left Trigger and A button, I was making some other changes for some things I didn't quite agree with from the default settings with Doom 64's default.cfg file. While dealing with the DirectX 11 shaders mistake, I also went ahead and take a look at the game's default.cfg for a particularly annoying problem where holding down the Sprint button on a controller (mapped to L-Trigger or similar by default) caused doors to open and close randomly, and to my surprised the dev team left this mistake in the game's default configuration file.

Important note: Back-up your original Doom 64 installation and configuration files before you make any of the changes shown here!

That said, while I am enjoying this updated version of Doom 64, there are some things that bother me with this re-release on PC, and whether or not these issues will be officially addressed, I decided to make this guide to encapsulate some tweaks and fixes for the game. It was also the last hoo-rah for the id Tech 1 Engine, featuring unique effects and features such as colored lighting, fog, animated skies, and an advanced lighting system among other things.įor many years, Doom 64 was a game thought to be lost in time, being exclusive to the Nintendo 64 (outside of the fan-made Doom 64 EX port) and Midway's dissolution in the late 2000's certainly didn't help matters, however, thanks to Nightdive Studios and Bethesda, we can now experience this overlooked gem among the Doom franchise in a modern context on multiple platforms. The game was the true sequel to Doom II, however, thematically it was also one to the PlayStation version as they share a similarly darker atmosphere over the original MS-DOS games (and ports thereof), reused sound effects from the PlayStation version, features a haunting and foreboding soundtrack composed by Aubrey Hodges, and the same code base as the Jaguar version. Doom 64 was originally a Nintendo 64 game developed by Midway Games with supervision from id Software.
