    "Freedoom is back with a 0.8 release. Ultimate Freedoom's episode 4 is now the Cacoward-winning Double Impact. Many maps have been updated, and a few sprites and sounds have been upgraded as well. Freedoom's deathmatch spinoff project, FreeDM, is now vanilla compatible and has quite a few new maps. A .bex file has replaced many strings such as weapon pickups and intermission text. There are very many other changes which can be read about on the web site." - DOOMWorld

    For those that are not familiar with FreeDOOM, it is a FREE replacement iWAD for ID software's DOOM2.WAD. FreeDOOM features new enemies, levels, textures, weapons, etc., though it can be use in place of DOOM2.WAD to run pWAD files (DOOM MODs and expansions) under PrBOOM, Odamex, and maybe Chocolate DOOM amongst others.

    Even if you already own DOOM2 it is still worth the download. Drop it in your DOOM folder and check it out!

    Do we have to rename it to the original doom2.wad in order for this to work?

    Also, have just tried to doom2.wad but cannot get it to show full screen?

    Have tried different resolutions, none works, please suggest?

    Thanks much!

    EDIT: Figure I don't need to rename it, but just click that specific wad file and it will load it right? But still having issues with the full screen.. for now, it only loads in the upper left corner which is a no go for me. How is this working for you guys?

    What DOOM source port are you trying to run FreeDOOM under?

    Also if you download the top file "Complete iWAD" it will already be called DOOM2.WAD when you extract it.
