  • Are you running an 'Ultimate Doom' Iwad with one of the other Doom profiles?

    The help graphics are different between different versions of Doom; For instance Doom Shareware has HELP1 and HELP2 graphics. While Ultimate Doom just has a HELP graphic (To go off topic, Dday incorrectly also displays the CREDIT graphic in several games Help screens).
  • You were right =D> , here is what i did
    in Doomsday Engine Frontend: Select Doom -> Settings ->Game Mode [Comobox] -> Doom Ultimate -> Click [PLAY]
    i don't know why it detect wrong Version, doesn't WAD File have some Signature ID in it?
    i wasn't playing DOOM for long time albeit i tried deng before
    Thanks Again
  • Doomsday does automatically detect the IWAD version. However, what you are doing is explicitly telling Doomsday to disregard the actual version of the IWAD and treat it as if it were another version. This feature has long been a source of contention and confusion, however.

    The main issue here is that the frontend UI does not make it clear how the engine will interpret the -iwad and -game arguments you are giving.
