Forest Map

[ZoGGy]

I am unable to pick up the Snooper Rifle in the map to complete the map, I press F or Enter and it will not pick it up, I can use F normally in the game but it just wont pick up the Snooper Rifle, any suggestions?

You could load the next level with "/spdevmap rocket" in the in-game console (`). Unfortunately, you'll start out the level with no ammo or weapons though. Type "/give sten" and any other weapon name to give yourself something to work with.

I tried this and it starts fine, thanks for that, but I dont have any sound? I am not on mute and the volume is up, any suggestions?

Have you tried walking over the rifle?

Honestly, with all the weird problems you're getting, it might be a good idea to test out a source port of the game like ioRTCW and see if it runs better on your system. It must be pretty annoying for you.

I was able to grab it finally but it says I do not have it in the objectives so I cant complete the mission, very frustrating

I have the same problem on my Windows 10. There's two solutions you can pick from in order to play the game, both of which worked for me and others. The option you pick depends on how important a vanilla experience is for you, with RealRTCW being a faithful fan-made remaster, and the ioRTCW sourceport being 100% vanilla.

Option A) For starters, I would suggest giving RealRTCW a try on Steam. It's an excellent fan-made remaster that's very faithful to the original game, heavily customizable, and allows you to play at a modern widescreen resolution. If you play and complete the game through that mod, no one's gonna say you didn't beat the game as it doesn't change the level design or the core gameplay. The only changes are that there's some minor balance tweaks and new weapons added (which you can turn off in the Game Options by switching the weapon arsenal to Classic). Here's the link:

Option B) However, if you're a total purist and want a 100% vanilla experience, or you're simply unable to run RealRTCW on your system, then you're instead gonna want to download the sourceport for the game called ioRTCW.
You can basically think of ioRTCW as the GZDoom or Quakespasm equivalent for RTCW. This sourceport will also run even if your current Steam installation of RTCW doesn't. It will give you widescreen and native resolution support in the in-game options as well a few other quality of life features, but absolutely zero gameplay changes.

Instructions: Download the correct zip file for your system from the Github link above. For example, if your system is a 64-bit Windows, then download "iortcw-1.51c-win-x64.zip". Using a program like WinRAR or 7zip, extract the files into your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Return to Castle Wolfenstein folder. When it asks you if you want to overwrite a readme file, just say Yes. Here is how your files should look in your Return to Castle Wolfenstein folder if you did everything right:

From there, you can simply doubleclick the "ioWolfSP" executable to open the game in the sourceport.

Again, both of these solutions will work even if your installation of Return to Castle Wolfenstein doesn't start up.

Damn, that's so weird. How about the sound issue? Is that fixed? Make sure to check the game itself isn't muted in the volume mixer. Otherwise, I'd suggest RealRTCW or ioRTCW for you as well.

if you used the give all command, the game gets angry and doesn't let you pick it up. I assume its either a coding bug where it sees you already "have it" or because the weapon has a super low max ammo carry capacity it might not let you grab it
