Wolfenstein 3D

Wolfenstein 3D is a seminal first-person shooter game first released in 1992, pitting the player, a captured American spy, against a horde of WWII-era Nazis ensconced within Castle Wolfenstein. It is widely regarded by critics and game journalists as having helped popularize the genre on the PC, and having established the basic run-and-gun archetype for subsequent FPS games.

Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

Use ECWolf. For the Steam version of the game simply run ECWolf to automatically detect the data files; for other versions copy the game files into the ECWolf folder and then run ECWolf. Both Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny is also supported.

ECWolf lists all normal widescreen resolutions in-game. Aspect ratio is automatically detected or can be set manually (choosing the wrong aspect ratio will result in a skewed HUD and gun).
