xDuke	Straight port from the original DOS release that only adds a console and the ability to load music packs.
hDuke	Based off xDuke. Focused on multiplayer, it features extra parameters such as frag limit and an anti-cheat system.
nDuke	Base off xDuke. Similar to hDuke, it also features a team deathmatch mode.
Icculus Duke3D	Straight port from the original DOS release for all platforms.
BuildGDX	Source port based on Java's libGDX framework. Adds high resolutions support, OpenGL renderer, and improved mouse controls. Can run official addon and custom made campaings straight from the main menu without the need to use installers or replace any original files. Supports multiplayer. Discontinued.
NuBuildGDX	Fork of BuildGDX aiming for stability, bug fixing and performance improvements.
EDuke32	Adds many modern features to Build engine such as high and widescreen resolution, dynamic lighting and shadows and expands the modding capabilities. It doesn't properly support multiplayer yet.
EDuke32-OldMP	A multiplayer branch of an old EDuke32 build.

All source ports (except later builds of EDuke32) will require to manually copy all *.GRP files and DUKE.RTS into their root folders. They are located in <path-to-game>\gameroot and its addons subfolder.

Splitscreen mod^[5]
Download this script file. Download the EDuke32 build in this post and follow the instructions. Execute EDuke32 and set Input Devices to Keyboard Only, then exit. This will avoid mouse look to impede player 2 forward movement while keeping player 1 mouse look functional. Execute EDuke32 with the splitscreen parameters and remap player 2 keys in Control Settings.

Issues fixed

Nuclear Winter crashes during cutscenes

Run the game with the `-noanim` command line argument to disable cutscenes^[6]

Display incorrectly scaled/cut off when using Windows display scaling

If the display scaling in Windows is set to something other than 100%, this game will not properly compensate for that as most games do.

Enable scaling override for game executable
Go to `<path-to-game>\bin`. Right-click on `sw.exe` and select "Properties". Click "Change high DPI settings" button. Check "Override high DPI scaling" checkbox. Ensure dropdown is set to "Application". Hit "OK" to save changes.

+===Display incorrectly scaled/cut off when using Windows display scaling===
+{{ii}} If the display scaling in Windows is set to something other than 100%, this game will not properly compensate for that as most games do.
+{{Fixbox|description=Enable scaling override for game executable|fix=
+# Go to {{file|{{p|game}}\bin|folder}}.

-===High Resolution Mod===
-{{Fixbox|description=Installation instructions|ref=<ref>[http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=224291276#134725 Steam Community Guides - HD Mod pack with achievements and Multiplayer]</ref>|fix=
-{{ii}} The following instructions will allow the High Resolution Mod to be used with the Megaton Edition without being forced to use the EDuke32 source port
-# Make a file with a backup copy of the original file of the game.
-# Download the following files:
-#* [https://mega.nz/#!cAgWzZiJ!CBLHrU1Bt7_j1MmyuH52VbcPX3VPoN8KzGjWyLhG8Zo Duke Nukem 3D High Def Pack]
-#* [https://mega.nz/#!gERnVLbA!LeQG-DD49ZRrbfhAr8o9uJQnqw2dSaWLtMMeWNz2qXs Steam Duke HD Pack (Part 1)]
-#* [https://mega.nz/#!hVAUTYRC!p_AZrtmQzqVl2zFKLs6XDwZyo9i2RRou_B6P88_zTz0 Steam Duke HD Pack (Part 2)]
-# Move the downloaded files to the installation folder.
-# Extract the Duke Nukem 3D High Def Pack. If you moved all the files at the same time, then you should be able to extract the files without having to browse manually at the start of the extraction.
-# Execute the file Setup.bat and a cmd window will open. Select the first option by simply writing "1" and pressing enter.
-# The Setup.bat will install the graphical enhancements for the base game and the expansions as well. After it finishes installing for the base game and each expansion, the Eduke32 launcher will open. Close it and continue the installation. During the installation, the installer will ask you various of times for administrator permission to install its files and you are to accept the prompt each time.
-# Open Setup.bat again and select option 3 to install the Steam Duke HD packs. This process may take a long time depending on your system.
-# Go to <code>{{p|game}}\bin</code> and delete <code>duke3d.exe</code> and replace it with the <code>duke3d.exe</code> from the backup files.
-# Head to your Steam library and enter the Properties menu for Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition. Open "Set Launch Options" and write the following: <code>-applaunch 225140 /gduke3d_hrp.zip /hhrp.def</code>. If this prompt does not work with your OS, try: <code>-xATGAME.CON -gplugandpray.zip -gDUKE3D.GRP</code>.
-Although the installation is finished, if you wish, you can install the XXX rated files separately. It is recommended that no screenshots of the textures of these files are to be shown through Steam Community under the penalty of being banned. Copy the file, xxx_pack.zip which is located in <code>{{p|game}}\bin</code>. Paste the file in <code>{{p|game}}\gameroot</code>. In "Set Launch Options", alter the prompt to: <code>-applaunch 225140 /gduke3d_hrp.zip /hhrp.def /gxxx_pack.zip</code>. If that prompt does not work with your OS, try: <code>-xATGAME.CON -gplugandpray.zip -gDUKE3D.GRP -gxxx_pack.zip</code>.
