The Unity Port Thread - PS/Xbox/Switch/IOS/Android

[mancubian_candidate]

I had no issues with Arrival on a PS4. I think turning off V-sync should help 😄

[dustarma]

Perhaps, I'm at Map 9 in UV on Switch and once you reach the outside area the frame rate drops to what feels like much less than 30FPS.

I have received my replacement cartridges for the Switch version from LRG. The only difference between the one with the bug and the fixed one is kind of an production batch number on the backside of the cartridge. The original ones have A4KYA22A000 or A4KYA20A000 printed on the cart, the replaced ones have all A4KYA19001.

I just logged into my GOG account after a while from not being able to use the PC due to surgery I had recently (and still in recovery) and I saw an update pop-up for DOOM I and II Enhanced on my Galaxy client. For some reason the January 23 Update patch notes isn't viewable on my end, not on the client or anywhere else on GOG's website, and not even Steam got this update like the other updates released, so does anyone know what this patch fixed?

 

Update: Classic cheat codes via keyboard finally works again in the GOG release! What else was fixed?

HALLELUJAH!

[dustarma]

Is there ever gonna be a fix for the invisible menu bug on Switch? It completely kills runs once it happens.

 

I can replicate it extremely easily in E1M9 of the Deathless add-on.

Probably not for a while. The gaps between add on releases can be months. A lot a wads can’t be added because rights have to be given from the content creators and only one member of id works on the port. I’d love to see something like Plutonia 2, Sunder or Sunlust to be added but I doubt it’ll get any of those. The official add ons have to also meet certain technical requirements

Also have to consider the possibility that the Id Software Retro Team (one guy) may have moved onto other assignments, the project considered done unless something comes up.

Is that speculation, or based on something a little more solid? I’d wondered if that were the case but hadn’t heard anything personally so I wasn’t sure.

It's speculation, but it's been a while since Doom or Quake updated and the post-launch maintenance on those were Literally Just Sponge, so he might have been assigned to something else. Whether that be Old Id Game related or New Id Game related. I dunno.

[Metal_Slayer]

I just hope it's not Mighty Doom. Because then we probably won't be getting new content for a while.

[whatup876]

Pretty sure Mighty Doom is done by a different studio and it has nothing to do with the new Doom or Quake ports.

[Kinsie]

Mighty Doom is Alpha Dog, a studio acquired specifically to do Mobile Game Stuff For Mobile Game Players (ie. probably not you).

Damn, I didn’t know that. So now there might not be anyone working on the port. Sad but I’m content with the ones we’ve gotten. In the future I’ll have to get a pc 

[PhoxFyre007]

Is anyone having similar issues on any android or Samsung devices? I have a Galaxy S21 Ultra on Android 13 and the game seems to have a lack of any kinda of compatibility even though I paid for and used it on earlier versions. I'm unsure what changes have messed this up on OS side.

[Kyle07]

I saw this once for the Tomb Raider II Android port and thought, okay its obviously not supported anymore. But I think it is even taken of from the digital stores for Android and iOS, so...

 

I don't know, can it just be that the developers need to catch up to keep doom compatible with all android versions? Don't know how this works.

In general its sad that Android does not have backwards compatibility.

 

But I think it could also be an error from the store itself. I remember the same message for my Samsung Galaxy S4 and then I just downloaded the desired APK somewhere elsewhere and it worked. So it can be that the store makes wrong decisions and you have to suffer because of that.

 

Edit: Need to correct myself, it was TR1 which was never supported for my Galaxy S4 by the store. TR2 still runs on my current device.

[Man of Doom]

And now Base Ganymede joins the Elite Club of Canon(?) PWADs.

 

 

[Faceman2000]

Hey hey hey! I always expected this one to show up eventually! Congratulations, @Khorus!

[Devalaous]

Unless im thinking of something else, it finally has level names for all 27 maps! Episodes are still unnamed though.

[Faceman2000]

No, you're correct - these are the first official names these levels have received. I wonder if E1M1 "Late Arrival" is a cheeky nod to that fact.

[Devalaous]

"E1M1" "Late Arrival"

"E1M2" "The First Base"

"E1M3" "Entering Security Sector"

"E1M4" "Exiting Security Sector"

"E1M5" "Hunting Giants"

"E1M6" "Warped Outpost"

"E1M7" "Twitch"

"E1M8" "The Incredible Machine"

"E1M9" "Power Generator"

"E2M1" "Demonic Concrete"

"E2M2" "Haunted Research"

"E2M3" "Ganymede's Core"

"E2M4" "Ultramarine"

"E2M5" "The Ground Became Ash"

"E2M6" "Hellish Cabaret"

"E2M7" "Synagogue of Doom"

"E2M8" "Strut"

"E2M9" "The Abandoned Temple"

"E3M1" "Cursed Complex"

"E3M2" "Monstrous Regiment"

"E3M3" "Amduscias"

"E3M4" "New Constructions Ruined"

"E3M5" "The Lost Dimension"

"E3M6" "Volcanic Habitat"

"E3M7" "The Keys To Hell"

"E3M8" "Spellbound"

"E3M9" "Extraction Nightmare"

Here is the list of new mapnames, if someone more capable than me would like to edit the Doom Wiki

[Dweller Dark]

I just found out this was added, but in regards to playing it through sourceports, what is the correct name to change the WAD file to? I would assume it's BGComp, but I'm not certain.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but if I'm understanding you correctly, all you have to do is rename the file to anything you want so long as it ends in .wad. Then you should be able to load it in your sourceport of choice.

I changed it to BGComp.wad and that seemed to work, it's the same name that Base Ganymede Complete uses for it's WAD file. Also means you can look up and update the metadata from the idgames archive, which is nice.

Does anyone know how the Logic behind Mouse Support on the Switch is?

 

Tried out an Setup today for Sake of trying out and i could play Quake with Mouse/Keyboard, but Doom did only recognize the Keyboard.

 

Sadly, not Keyboard only possible, as the Arrowkeys do nothing and there are no Keys bind to turn around, only WSAD to walk, Shift to run and Q and E to change Weapons.

[Edward850]

The support is likely unintentional. The mouse needs special handling on the Switch so unless you explicitly program it in, it won't be there. Meanwhile keyboards are passive devices because they can be used for text.

[Mr. Freeze]

@Khorus I want to thank you again, publicly, for messaging me twelve (!!!) years ago asking to include my DTWID soundtrack onto Base Ganymede. It's a great WAD and you should be proud! I'm honored to be a part of Doom history, however minor, alongside you. 

[Biodegradable]

Hearty congratulations on getting Base Ganymede on the Unity port, @Khorus!

[Metal_Slayer]

Very simple wad, doesn't use any Dehacked but I like the way it looks and the soundtrack, I'll play it but I don't know if the general public are going to like it as much, I think people look more into wads with a lot of custom content.

If there was a way to aim using the IR sensor like a Wii game it would be awesome, as good as mouse and keyboard on my opinion.
