How do I play this? Stuck at Title Screen

[The Moebius]

Downloaded and installed game, Dos prompt pops up. Game is frozen at title screen. What do? All tutorials I see online are either out dated or don;t work.

Install Gzdoom.

should i just refund the game and download that instead ?
what's the point of a steam version if it doesn't work.

But you need the wad file from steam to play gzdoom...so I wouldn't recommend refunding it.
Well, even though the steam release of doom is kinda lazy, its still much cheaper and easier to get then trying to find a physical copy.

You have to dig into the config files in the actual game directory. It's not rocket science, but it's also not entirely obvious.

Find where your Steam games are actually stored. Find 'The Ultimate Doom' directory and then go into the 'base' directory.

Mine is in "S:\Steam\steamapps\common\Ultimate Doom\base" but yours will be different.

Once there, you need to open the file "ultimate.conf" in a text editor (notepad will work fine).

1. Find the line that says "fullresolution=800x600" or "fullresolution=original" and change it to read instead "fullresolution=desktop"

2. Find the line that says "output=ddraw" and change it to read "output=openglnb".

(if you want to learn more about this config file, see http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Dosbox.conf )

3. Save the file.

You should make these same changes to the config file "ultimatem.conf" as well.
