Essential improvements
Patches
- The DOS version has no patches (the
Install.exe
listed on the support page is not for this game). - The 1.2 Update patch fixes some issues with the Classic version of Dark Forces.
XL Engine source port
- Enables playing the game on modern systems. Supports high resolutions, with enhanced visuals and proper mouselook.
- Currently in alpha stage, but the whole game can be completed. A few workarounds are required to proceed at certain points (see Getting started with XL Engine).
- Requires original game assets
Run in DOSBox
To improve DOSBox performance make the following changes to the DOSBox configuration file:
- Change
fulldouble=false
tofulldouble=true
- Change
memsize=16
tomemsize=32
Dark Frontend
Dark Frontend is a utility that allows easier launching of mods levels. Installation (of both the launcher and the mods you intend to use with it) isn't exactly the most strait forward; includes a digital manual (readme.exe), reading it is recommended before using.
