Q: When launching EDuke32, I get an error about a missing file called 'GAME.CON' or 'EDUKE.CON'. Help!
- A: It would appear that you haven't placed a copy of 'DUKE3D.GRP' from your Duke Nukem 3D or Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition CD into your EDuke32 directory. Once you place 'DUKE3D.GRP' into the same directory as 'eduke32.exe', the game should launch and run fine. You may also use the shareware version's 'DUKE3D.GRP' as well.
Q: What is the 'Game' tab at the startup screen used for?
- A: The 'Game' tab is a feature that allows you to select what GRP file you would like to play. It is recommended to keep the individual .CON files in the seperate GRPs, not loose in the directory. The GRP files have to be exact, without any custom content. The 'grpfiles.cache' file is required to use this. It will be automatically generated at game startup. The choices so far:
- Duke Nukem 3D Shareware Version
- Duke Nukem 3D
- Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition
- NAM (Note: you must rename GAME.CON from NAM to NAM.CON)
Q: When I am playing EDuke32 with 16-bit or 32-bit color, everything has a blue tint! How can I fix this?
- A: Unfortunately, most people who run into this error are just out of luck. There are a few things you can do to try and fix this problem:
- Open the console and type "glredbluemode 0"
- Download the newest drivers for your graphics card
- Try a different Windows port of Duke Nukem 3D
- Try the most updated release of EDuke32
Q: How can I acquire a copy of Duke Nukem 3D to run EDuke32?
- A: You have to purchase the game from the 3D Realms Online Store or another retailer. The Duke Nukem 3D v1.5 source code has been released for a while, so you can attempt to assemble that, but that is pointless since all that is created is the Duke3D.exe, not the Duke3D.grp, which is what you really need to play the game. DO NOT post or ask anybody at all about where to acquire this game illegally. Support 3D Realms for making the most awesome game ever, and don't be a pirate.
