About mod file versions:
Since August 2024 Doom Eternal, has a beta preview on Steam with has 2 versions: Vanilla and Sandbox. This means the game now has 2 executables files (DOOMEternalx64vk.exe and DOOMSandBox64vk.exe). So there is now a version of the mod for Vanilla and a one for Sandbox, BUT, for technical reasons, both versions of the mod have the same name: msimg32.dll
Note: If you don't see any option to launch the Sandbox version of Doom Eternal on Steam, it's because you have to enable it by clicking: opt into the beta: Screenshot
Note2: if you're still using the normal version of DoomEternal which doesn't have the 2 versions, the mod will still work but make sure you download and use the Vanilla version of the mod.
How to install the mod for Doom Eternal Vanilla:
- Close the game.
- Download the mod file which has Vanilla in its name.
- Extract the .rar and put msimg32.dll in the game folder which for you would be something like: ...\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOMEternal
- Launch the game by pressing the Play Doom Eternal button (unless you somehow skip you launcher)
- Wait for the mod text to appear bottom right of the screen
How to Install the mod for Doom Eternal Sandbox:
- Close the game.
- Download the mod file which has Sandbox in its name.
- Extract the .rar and put msimg32.dll in the game sandbox folder which for you would be something like:
...Steam\steamapps\common\DOOMEternal\doomSandBox - Launch the game by pressing the Play Doom Eternal with Mods button
- Wait for the mod textto appear bottom right of the screen
For Linux Users:
From Mummelpuffin : You need to put:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msimg32.dll=n" %command%in your launch options on Steam to get the DLL to load (instead of WINE's).How to uninstall:
- Close the game.
- Delete msimg32.dll in: ...\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOMEternal and/or ...Steam\steamapps\common\DOOMEternal\doomSandBox
Mod Features:
- To check the mod features i suggest you take a look at the screenshots as they all show all the details and the mod menus are shown as well.
Requirements:
This mod requires the fully updated Steam version of the game to work. But it could still work with versions from other platforms but not supported.
The mod will not works with some languages, check the troubleshooting section.
It should work with mouse or controllers. (but the mod menu can only be interacted with a mouse)
It has been designed for the single player portion of the game, it's NOT recommended to play battlemode/multiplayer with this mod.
This mod is compatible with Meathook mod. However if you are using Entity Slayer mod, it's recommended to not use Advanced Options mod while designing a level.
How to fix Windows auto deleting the mod:
Windows might also auto delete the mod, because the mod is named like a windows dll (for ex Dinput8, Xinput1_3....) but the mod's file name is very important so that the mod loads automatically when you launch the game, so if that happens to you, you can try this:
- First update your archive explorer (winrar, 7zip...) and try again, :
- if it still doesn't work, go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & Threat Protection.
- Under Virus & threat protection settings, click on "Manage settings."
- Scroll down to "Exclusions" and click on "Add or remove exclusions."
- Click on "Add an exclusion" and choose "Folder" and select the folder where the mod should be installed. Then download the mod again and extract it in that folder and you should be good to go.
Troubleshooting:
- Please make sure to use the latest version of the mod as many bugs have been fixed (see changelog).
- If you are using the 3D hud feature and at some point you can't see the slayer arms or/and see through walls let me know in the comments where/when it happens so i can fix it.
- If you get a "Failed to allocate video memory" pop up error, i would suggest trying the older 2.32 version of the mod.
- The mod will not work with Korean, Japanese and Chinese languages cause the required fonts for the mod menu and hud can not be displayed for those languages. If you still want to use the mod you can force your game to english in Steam.
- Make sure you have read the install process for the regular doom version (vanilla) and the playWithMods version (Sandbox)
- Make sure you have removed any very old version of this mod before launching and If you have, delete the DE_AdvancedOptionsMod folder and try again. In fact deleting this folder might help if the game/mod crashes at start up as it will recreate itself next time you launch.
- If you don't see the mod menu or custom or it's flickering, try disabling or reduce this setting in the game options: Video=>Performance Metrics.
- If the names of the Doom Eternal executables have been modified by you, or are not official, the mod will not work, meaning if the game executables are not DOOMEternalx64vk.exe or DOOMSandBox64vk.exe.
- If suddenly the mod stops launching, check that the msimg32.dll didn't get automatically deleted by Windows, check the "How to fix Windows Deleting the mod" sections.
- If somehow the mod still doesn't work for you, try downloading an older version of the mod, for example version 2.32 uses a different mod ui framework and seems to work for many users even if doesn't have the latest features.

- Removed the release/debug versions of the modinstead there will be one mod version for Vanilla and one forSandbox.

- Fixed a bug in Sandbox where the ice grenade icon of the dedicated grenade key features was always light grey.

1.3 (28/10/23)

- Added an option to override the frag icon color and its cooldown color, for example the cooldown color can be totally grey so that the color feedback only comes in when at least one frag is ready or it can be very flashy because that makes more sens for you.
- Added an option to have the Chainsaw icon change to a custom color when it is 3 pips full to make it easier to notice.
