The game is no longer available digitally. While Bethesda owns the rights[1] and games based on id Software properties (such as Quake 4) are still on sale, despite Raven Software being owned by Activision, it's still unavailable for unknown reasons.

Demo

Demo can still be downloaded here.

If the demo is installed and you get problems opening Steam, uninstall the demo.[2]

Essential improvements

Patches

Patch 1.2 (cumulative) is the latest version.

Skip intro videos

Use the +set com_skipIntro 1 command line argument[citation needed]
Skip intro videos[3]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\SP\base\videos.
  2. Delete or rename bumper1.bik, bumper2.bik, bumper3.bik and id_logo.bik.

Enable quick save

Enable quick save[3]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open wolf.cfg.
  3. Add the following line.
    • bind F5 "spawn save_game_entity name quicksave; trigger quicksave; remove quicksave"
  4. Save the file and set it as read-only.

Notes

Press F5 in-game to save.
Do not quick save during boss fights as it might potentially interfere with the sequences, making it unable to progress.
Setting the config to read-only means the game won't be able to mark down when you've finished the game, so you don't unlock cheats. Do this manually by changing seta g_showCheatMenuMsg and seta g_gameFinished to 1 once you've finished the game.[4]

Game data

The game creates a permanent archived autosave every time the game transitions to a new map. The game can archive approximately 40 or so concurrent autosaves in total, after which the oldest autosave will automatically be overwritten to create a new one.

Unlock pre-order DLC

Without DLC the Flammenwerfer pre-order weapon will be available later in the campaign.[13] With DLC, you already get it in the first few minutes.
Edit configuration files[13][14]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open wolf.cfg.
  3. Change line seta g_unlockedFlameDLC "0" to seta g_unlockedFlameDLC "1".
  4. Save the file.

Enable screenshot hotkey

Enable Screenshot[3]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open wolf.cfg.
  3. Add the following line.
    • bind F12 "screenshot 1280 800 32"
  4. Save the file and set it as read-only.

Notes

Press F12 in-game to take a screenshot.
The first 2 numbers are your resolution & the last number(32)is color range.
Setting the config to read-only means the game won't be able to mark down when you've finished the game, so you don't unlock cheats. Do this manually by changing seta g_showCheatMenuMsg and seta g_gameFinished to 1 once you've finished the game.[4]
