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.
- 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 to fulldouble=true
- Change
memsize=16 to memsize=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.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/32400/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (32400) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
