Installation Instructions fan Game Freedoom

It is recommended to use GZDoom or a similar engine to run the game.

If you are using GZDoom:

1. Move freedoom1.wad or freedoom2.wad to the GZDoom folder

2. Drag and drop the .wad file onto gzdoom.exe

3. Play!

You can also create a Launcher.bat. This is suitable for running more complex mod setups where the loading order of mods matters, or to launch the game via a shortcut.

How to create a launcher for running mods based on GZDoom

Create a text file in the GZDoom folder, you can name it Launcher. The text can look like this, depending on which files you're using:

gzdoom.exe -iwad freedoom2.wad -file "brutalv22test4.pk3"

-iwad must always come first, and the number of files after -file can be unlimited — just write them in quotes separated by spaces, like this:

gzdoom.exe -iwad doom2.wad -file "addon1.pk3" "addon2.pk3" "addon3.pk3" "addon4.pk3"

Change its format from .txt to .bat by simply renaming it. Now you can launch your mod setups with a double-click on this launcher.
