If the source port has not been merged with Steam, then the launch option should be typed in the shortcut properties for the file "woof.exe" in the "Object" field with a space.

To make the game image proportional with widescreen aspect ratio you need to write the following parameter value in the file "woof.cfg" or "Launcher.cfg" (appears after the first start):

[0-1(1)] Aspect ratio correction 
correct_aspect_ratio         0

Installation process

1. Move the third-party .wad file to the directory:

   You can also put .wad files in a separate folder.
   
2. Select the game in the Steam Library → right-click → select "Properties" → in the appeared window type the desired launch option from the list below:
   

   -iwad ..\base\DOOM(2).WAD -file name.wad

   To run a third-party .wad file from the Woof! root folder
   
   

   -iwad ..\base\DOOM(2).WAD -file 1.wad 2.wad 3.wad

   To run multiple third-party .wad files from the Woof! root folder
   
   

   -iwad ..\base\DOOM(2).WAD -file folder\name.wad

   To run a third-party .wad file from a separate folder
   
   

   -iwad ..\base\DOOM(2).WAD -file 1.wad folder\2.wad folder\subfolder\3.wad

   To run multiple third-party .wad files from different folders
   
   If spaces are present, the file name and path must be enclosed in quotes:
   

   -iwad ..\base\DOOM(2).WAD -file first.wad "folder\second one.wad" "folder\another folder\third.wad"

   To move to the parent folder, you must put two dots at the beginning of the directory:
   

   -iwad ..\base\DOOM(2).WAD -file ..\first.wad "..\folder\second one.wad"

I prefer my own Soundblaster pk3 I created for Ultimate Doom. It sounds far better than the opl emulation of the ports & Dosbox, and is how I originally heard the game back in the 90s. I could upload it somewhere if anyone wants?

[Fulgrim]

Thank you. Everything works fine now

[MJR]

Just download Chocolate Doom [github.com] and replace the "SDL2.dll" and "SDL2_mixer.dll" files with the same ones from the Chocolate Doom archive. This happens because of new SDL versions.

[Fulgrim]

Definitely did something wrong. The game looks good when I boot it up but the sound effects are what sounds like 2x speed? I have no idea why. The game itself is running at normal speed, I think

[SillyLizbeth 💗]

Thank You Bro

[MJR]

You merged it with Steam? In this case, the used config files are duplicated in the folder where the launch .bat files are located. You can find it in this directory:
Disk:\Steam directory\steamapps\common\Ultimate Doom

Did that several times. The game starts in fullscreen anyway and the parameter resets back to 1.

[MJR]

You need to open the "crispy-doom.cfg" file and set the value 0 to the "fullscreen" parameter.

I've followed everything related to Crispy Doom but the game forces itself into fullscreen when I want it in windowed. Any help?
