You'll have to do a lot better than this...
Player movement behaviour is nowhere near the og game. Inertia is out of control and so is head bobbing. And this is from the first 30 seconds of gameplay.

It's incredibly disappointing, I hope they work to fix all these basic things that should've already been perfected before launch.

Aye, there's a certain small jump in the second map that is piss easy in the OG game but feels utterly borked here due to difference in movement.

We are still doing some adjustments. Thanks for the feedback

I feel the shooting should feel better too, at the moment it doesn't feel very "punchy". Other than that the level design, the atmosphere, the story, the sound and the music are all top tier in this game.

Overall, I am very pleased with the demo. But there are a couple of nuances: in addition to the aforementioned inertia, there are a few more bugs, you can’t tear carcasses to shreds in the freezer with a shot from a weapon, I also had a very strange bug on the second level when I was killed and then the camera switched back to the first person and I continued my walkthrough. :)) Please kindly add support for music playback through wav files so that you can copy them from the original CD image and listen to game music in its original quality, also please add the ability to resize the HUD.
PS By the way, head bobbing can be disabled through the settings menu.

I agree with Pagb666. Also, the weapons could definitely pack more punch. The sound quality, while neat, can be all over the place. For example, there's one footstep sound that sounds higher quality than the others.

Ouch so the syzmanski DOSBOX pack or panzerchasm still remains the best way to play this game by the sounds of it :steamfacepalm:

If you are not satisfied with the sounds in the game, you can switch to the original sounds in the settings menu. I checked, these are the same vanilla sounds.

Yeah, the movement (especially strafing) feels too sluggish, but besides that I haven't noticed anything off

Is there a way to switch to the original software rendering? Just glanced at the demo but would like to experience it just like the original Chasm, without enhancements, but natively compiled for Windows.

Please kindly add support for music playback through wav files so that you can copy them from the original CD image and listen to game music in its original quality

Better idea would be adding FLAC decoder support to their source port/engine, to keep CD audio sizes down. There is an independantly-clean room developed FLAC decoder around in C that is quite small and easy to implement, especially compared to libflac. Seeing the lack of libvorbis, I guess they already used stb_vorbis.c for Vorbis decoding of music, there is also dr_flac.h for a single file FLAC decoder which works well.

Even then, the music is in a sufficiently high bitrate though (200~ kbps, which is more than transparent for Vorbis, transparency is usually around 160kbps). So it might not be worth the effort.

Devs, If possible please include original patched DOS version as well

I can't even boot up the game and I'm not sure why. It might be because I'm running it on a potato, but I agree, having an alternate patched DOS version to launch akin to how many other old FPS store pages have would help open up the game for me without having to rely on completely external methods.

Game defaults to a Vulkan renderer. Might work better then defaulting to the DX11 renderer it has.
