Installing GZ-Doom for The Ultimate DOOM

Hello everybody!

I decided to make this guide to play Doom with GZDoom.

Basically GZDoom is:

GZDoom is a Doom source port based on ZDoom. It features an OpenGL renderer and lots of new features, among them:
3D floors
Dynamic lights
Quake2/Unreal style skyboxes
True color texture support
Model support (limited at the moment)

So simply, it's helping you to run DOOM with high end style.

Since Steam version of Doom comes with DOSBox it's really annoying to run with it. Like lower res, Steam Overlay isn't working at all, No support for mods or WADS, tons of bugs/crashes.

Well today we'll be fixing all of them.


So lets get started!

Step 1: Downloading the Files

First get the latest build of GZDoom from here:

Link: https://gzdoom.drdteam.org/page.php?page=download

If you got 64-Bit (x64) system, download the 64-bit one. If you got 32-bit (x86) download the 32 bit one.

2. Installing GZDoom

Installation is very simple. All you have to do is. Right click The Ultimate DOOM on your Steam Library. Choose Properties. Then select the "Local Files" tab. Then choose the "Browse Local Files"

This will lead you to Doom files. Choose "base" folder on Doom's main folder.

Copy the all files in GZDoom files you got in .zip

After you done that, delete dosbox.exe and rename gzdoom.exe to dosbox.exe

Then you can launch your game from your Steam Library.

Well, that's all you have to do! It's so simple.


After launching the game you will able to change resolution, controls etc... Whatever you can do at GZ-Doom.

If you have bad time while installing. Post comments in here i'll try to help you.

i do uninstall dosbox but when i launch it through gzdoom it reinstalls and launches the dos version of doom?

[Alix_D]

i cant find a file called dosbox.exe

[space.vega]

I do not recommend renaming gzdoom.exe to dosbox.exe, it may break the keyboard in-game, as it did mine and I've seen at least one other comment about the keyboard not working. To make GZDoom work properly use a program called SteamEdit to edit the launch dialog box of Steam to alter its launch option to gzdoom.exe instead of dosbox.exe & remove the arguments.
Follow directions here on how to use SteamEdit and edit the options: {ĐƯỜNG DẪN BỊ XÓA}"https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1211043455"
