sheridanm962: I just got back from Duke4.net Forums and I have to say: Don't get this version of Duke3D.
I'll explain: The Expansions are fine and all but the game itself is kindof broken.
Here's why....
"• You can't run usermaps through the menu directly with it while you could in the original jonof. Only when adding -map mapname.map in launch options by right clicking on the game in your library. Why removing that?
• Can't change music and SE volumes independantly. There is only one bar; You could do that in the original game in DOS. Why removing that?
• Musics stop for half a second at the end when looping instead of looping smoothly
• can't play the "+" version without opengl even though opengl fucks up shading
• mouse sensitivity setttings not precise enough : it's either too slow or too fast
• can't quicksave/quickload, have to go through the menu
• can't change HUD size on the fly, have to go through the menu"

Basically: Stick to the GoG version for now until they fix these issues (Lets hope they fix that before the multiplayer comes in).
blackmantis: Is it not just the same game run in dosbox? Or is it some strange winport? I'll explain: The Expansions are fine and all but the game itself is kindof broken.

Hmm, it also seems that the expansions are only for the OpenGL version?
