Doom Runner Plus 2.0

Steam Deck-first release of Doom Runner Plus, a fork of Doom Runner.

What's new in 2.0

  • Helion source port support — new Helion engine family. Auto-detected (helion executable), with Helion-accurate command-line support. Helion options that it doesn't understand (resolution, no-sound/no-sfx, respawn, monitor selection, show-FPS, resume-demo, multiplayer) are now disabled instead of breaking the launch.
  • Better PrBoom-family port handling — nyan-doom is now recognized as a PrBoom-family port (was misdetected as Chocolate Doom). "Show FPS" (+vid_fps) and monitor selection (+vid_adapter) are ZDoom-only and are now disabled for PrBoom-based and other non-ZDoom ports (they rejected those arguments and failed to start).
  • WAD Downloader — the Cacowards and IdGames tabs are grouped under a dedicated tab, with a shared activity log, richer IdGames columns (sortable/show-hide), lazy /idgames resolution, randomized mirror fallback, and a Top Lists tab.
  • Downloads never auto-added to presets — downloaded files are no longer automatically inserted into the current preset's mod list.
  • Gamepad support — controller navigation of the whole UI (DSDA-Doom-aware gamepad toggle).
  • Scalable UI — adjustable font size that scales on the Steam Deck, bigger Launch button.
  • CI release builds — GitHub Actions build AppImage (Steam Deck-compatible, bundled Qt in an Ubuntu 24.04 container), plain zip, Flatpak, macOS DMGs and a Windows static executable.
  • Green "Plus" app icon across all platforms.
  • Steam Deck conveniences: automatic gamescope wrapping (with per-preset override), window geometry clamping, engine auto-detect for installed source ports.
  • Packaged as version 2.0 (inherited from the 1.x line).
