Doom II: Hell on Earth is also available as part of Doom 3: BFG Edition. This version includes GOG.com and Steam achievements.

The MS-DOS version of Doom II: Hell on Earth included with Doom II Enhanced from Bethesda.net comes with two versions of the IWAD, one as a separate download, and the other is included with the re-release in the base folder. The IWAD included with Doom II Enhanced's installation is the unmodified version that is also found in the Steam release. The separate downloadable version has changes similar to Doom 3: BFG Edition, and may not be compatible with certain source ports.^[3]

The Bethesda.net release is no longer available as the Bethesda.net Launcher has been retired. Users who owned games in their Bethesda.net Library are able to transfer their games to their Steam account for free, even now after the launcher has been officially retired.

Essential improvements

Patches

All patches for the retail versions of Doom II: Hell on Earth (as well as Doom and Final Doom) can be found at doomwiki.org, the latest patch 1.9 is also available at soggi.org.

Disable vertical mouse movement (DOS)

Game forces vertical mouse movement (forward and backward movement via mouse).

Automating novert in DOSBox^[6]

novert is a program that disables vertical mouse input.

Download novert and extract novert.com in <path-to-game> alongside DOOM2.EXE.
Edit doom2.conf and doom2m.conf with a text editor, and in the [Autoexec] section, add novert.com before the line calling the game's executable.
Save the changes in the *.conf files and close.

Source ports

Since the release of the engine's source code, various source ports have been released. See the link above for details and recommendations.

Enhancement mods

DOS and all source ports

Minor Sprite Fixing Project - Corrects sprite offsets and other graphical errors. Compatible with both original DOS release and source ports.
Perkristian hi-res Doom sound pack - The hi-res sound pack contains remastered versions of the Doom sound effects which have been remade at higher sampling rates (Doom's original sound effects were sampled at 11025 Hz, which is considered fairly low-quality nowadays).
Doom Sound Bulb - An update to Perkristian's hi-res Doom sound pack. All 107 sound effects are remade into 16-bit sounds that are truer to their original sources. Includes a legacy 8-bit version for use with vanilla Doom executables and source ports, and an extra sounds pack for ZDoom-based source ports.

ZDoom-based source ports

Master Levels Menu Interface - An in-game menu that serves to replace the old DOS program that would launch a chosen WAD of the Master Level for Doom II expansion. This mod allows the ability to play them in one sitting without restarting the game or loading each individual WAD file.
WadSmoosh - Combines all the official classic Doom IWADs (Doom, Doom II: Hell on Earth, Master Levels for Doom II, and Final Doom) the user can provide, as well as the No Rest for the Living WAD from Doom 3: BFG Edition and the SIGIL WAD released for Doom's 25th anniversary, into a single PK3 IWAD with each game selectable as episodes. The bonus secret levels from the Xbox port of Doom 3 (which can be downloaded from here) and the widescreen assets from the 2020 Unity re-releases can also be integrated.^[7]
WidePix - A collection of 2D widescreen replacement graphics that faithfully extends the original 4:3 assets up to widescreen resolutions. These differ from the unrelated widescreen graphics featured in the 2020 Unity ports as they are created from the ground up, support up to 21:9 resolutions, and feature an animated intermission screen for Doom's Inferno episode. Included with GZDoom as of v4.5.0. Can be used with WadSmoosh v1.3 and does not require implementing the widescreen assets from the 2020 Unity ports.^[7] Also supports Heretic, Hexen, Strife, Chex Quest 3, Hacx, and Harmony as of v1.3. For widescreen assets for other PWADs, see this Doomworld thread.
GZSprFix - A repacked version of Minor Sprite Fixing Project for GZDoom, combining both mods into one while using GZDoom's folder filter feature to load the relevant fixes to the respective IWADs and converting the DeHackEd patches into ZScript.
Roland SC-55 music packs - Soundtrack for Doom II recorded on an authentic SC-55, the midi player for which the soundtrack was mixed on. Choose either OGG or FLAC; MP3 does not support proper looping.
Smooth Doom - Smooth Doom is a spriting project/general enhancement that adds newly drawn frames to all of DOOM's weapons and actors.
Cblood - Changes the blood color of monsters to match their sprite counterparts (e.g. Cacodeamon now has blue blood) without replacing actors.
RetroShader - A shader mod for GZDoom that replicates the low-resolution appearance and color depth of vanilla Doom without lowering its resolution or rendering scale.
Thematically Improved Mouse Cursors - Adds themed cursors for Doom, Strife, Heretic, Hexen and Chex Quest.

Any source port

Widescreen Status Bar - Designed for compatible source ports that support widescreen resolutions. In addition to removing the brick patterns that appear on the side of the bar when upscaling it, it also helps prevent graphical glitches that sometimes occurs from the upscaling process. Some source ports may require adjusting the status bar upscaling size manually in their respective options menu to retain the intended aspect-ratio.
SC-55 Soundfont - Special sound bank, that emulates Roland SC-55 (sound module, that was used by Bobby Prince to compose Doom soundtrack) to provide the most accurate music quality.

GZDoom: Perform the following for either Modern or Vintage branches (v3.5.0 or newer; Windows only)^[13]^[14]

Modern branch: No longer supported natively as of v3.8.3. See this thread for details. Use Special K version 21.2.15.0 via .dll injection, not global injection as newer versions will crash GZDoom. Rename SpecialK32.dll (32-bit) or Specialk64.dll (64-bit) depending on the GZDoom version to OpenGL32.dll and place this file to where GZDoom is installed in the computer.
Vintage branch: Natively supported; set Fullscreen to OFF and Borderless Windowed Mode to ON from the Video Mode options.

Doom Retro: Enable borderless fullscreen in configuration file^[15]
Open the `*.cfg` file(s) where the Doom Retro folder is located with a text editor. Find the variable `vid_borderlesswindow` and set it `on`, then find `vid_screenresolution` and set it to `desktop`. Save the changes. Doom Retro now should run in borderless fullscreen windowed.

Issues fixed

Game does not run in DOSBox (Steam)

Disable double-buffering in DOSBox^[18]^[19]
Go to `<path-to-game>\base`. Edit `doom2.conf` and `doom2m.conf` with a text editor. Under the section `[sdl]`, look for the line `fulldouble=true` and set it to `false`. Saves and close both files.

Doom95 doesn't start on Windows 7

Use d95patch^[20]

Install Doom95 from the CD-ROM or shareware versions of Doom.
Download d95patch here.
Extract the contents of d95patch.zip to <path-to-game>, replacing all files in the process.
Run Doom95.exe, then click the Advanced Options button, go to Screen Resolution tab and set the Screen Size to 320x200 and display mode to Fullscreen, then click OK to save the changes. This is to avoid distorting the image (aspect-ratio correction is handled through dgVoodoo 2) and bugs with the automap on resolutions higher than 320x240.^[21]

Notes

This patch includes dgVoodoo 2 and the Doom95 Mouse Patch.

Modifications

DOOM CE

A successor to the inactive PlayStation Doom Total Conversion for Doom II that converts it into the PlayStation version of Doom and Final Doom, as well as patching Doom 64's IWAD to be compatible with GZDoom. DOOM CE uses GZDoom as a base for its modernized features, adopts code from the GEC Master Edition (DZDoom) project, and incorporates various customizable features and add-ons. Requires Doom II to play PlayStation Doom CE and Final Doom CE as of v2.0.5 and the official 2020 port of Doom 64 to play Doom 64 CE as of v2.0.4.

-===novert===
+===Disable vertical mouse movement (DOS)===
-When using the keyboard and mouse configuration in Doom or similar games on DOS or through [[DOSBox]], vertical mouse movement causes the player to move forward and back, which can make mouse aiming difficult. novert is a DOS TSR that disables vertical mouse movement to prevent unnecessary player movement.
+{{--}} Game forces vertical mouse movement (forward and backward movement via mouse).

-# Open the {{file|*.conf}} file that launches the game in DOSBox with a text editor (e.g. Notepad, Notepad++), search for the <code>[Autoexec]</code> section, then add the command <code>novert.com</code> above the line with the game's executable. An example of using this command can be seen below.
+# Edit {{file|doom2.conf}} and {{file|doom2m.conf}} with a text editor, and in the {{code|[Autoexec]}} section, add {{code|novert.com}} before the line calling the game's executable.
-# Save the changes in the {{file|*.conf}} file and then run the game. You should be to use the mouse to aim without moving forward and back.
