This version brings much more additions and improvements than originally planned. Probably the biggest news is that on Linux it will soon be installable via Flatpak.

NOTE: This version changes where it stores its data files. It will automatically detect files in the old location and migrate them to the new one.

  • added ability to filter presets by partial name or regular expression
  • added ability to select default engine and IWAD
  • added icons to mod list to visually distinguish files from directories
  • added ability to insert custom command-line argument between the files to load
  • added support for Flatpak and Snap installations of Doom engines
  • added ability to specify custom environment variables that will be set for the Doom engine process
  • improved auto-detection of engine's data directories when adding a new one
  • made the -loadgame parameter work correctly for both new and old GZDoom
  • better help text for setting engine data directories
  • implemented persistant caching mechanism for information extracted from Doom files for faster loading
  • options.json file will only be updated when necessary, reducing chance of losing it when the computer is abruptly shut down
  • minor bug-fixes, usability improvements and optimizations
