Features

1. Widescreen support (with automatic HUD scaling).

3. OGG music playback.
4. Most of special effects are updated at rendering framerate (instead of 20 FPS).
5. Improved map loading times.
6. Lots of cosmetic improvements (so the game plays as you remember it, not as it actually played).
7. Many bugfixes.

Installation

Game data:

Heretic2R requires Heretic II game data in order to run. You can either:

– Overwrite Heretic II binaries with the Heretic2R ones.

or

– Copy "Heretic II\base" folder (excluding all .dll files) to Heretic2R folder.

NOTICE: make sure your copy of Heretic II is updated to v1.06, otherwise Heretic2R will not work correctly because of missing models/textures/sounds.

If you are not sure, the presence of "base\models\items\Defense\tornado\tris.fm" and "base\models\items\Defense\tornado!skin.pcx.m8" files is a good indication that your copy is already updated to v1.06.

If said files are missing, you can either install Heretic II v1.06 official patch (also known as Heretic II Enhancement Pack), or extract Heretic_II_Patch_106_for_H2R.zip archive into Heretic II folder.
