Nightly build of 79b19d0, 2026-10-20 21:52 UTC: the latest master, replaced by every change merged into it once the builds pass. It has had no testing beyond that, so expect the occasional new bug; the tagged releases are the tested ones. Please say in a bug report that you are on a nightly, and which commit.

File What it is
nolfsrc-nightly-79b19d0.tar.gz This is what you want; the retail game with bug fixes and new features.
nolfsrc-debug-nightly-79b19d0.tar.gz The same build with debug information. For bug reporting.

No game data is included. A platform specific installer is included that copies the game's data from your own images of the two discs of the EU GOTY Edition.

Supported images:

Install

This is the whole game, not a patch. Unpack it into a new, empty directory, not over an earlier release or another installation: the installer checks the directory against SHA256SUMS and stops if it holds anything else. Copy your old Save folder across to keep your saved games.

The full guide, is here.

Windows

Unpack the archive, drop both disc images onto windows-install.bat, then start NOLF.exe.

Linux

There's no native Linux buid yet, but the game runs well under Wine or Proton; including on Steam Deck.

tar xzf nolfsrc-nightly-79b19d0.tar.gz
cd nolfsrc-nightly-79b19d0
./linux-install.sh /path/to/disc1.zip /path/to/disc2.zip
./linux-run.sh

Steam Deck

Add as a non-steam game, enable compatibility mode, and pick a Proton runtime.

Mac

The game runs in CrossOver (or another Wine for macOS). Unpack the archive, put both disc images in its folder and double-click mac-install.command, then run NOLF.exe in a CrossOver bottle with Run Command. If macOS will not open the script, the INSTALL.md guide says what to do.

What the modern build adds

  • Direct3D 9 (the default) and OpenGL renderers, with antialiasing; the original DirectX 7 renderer is included too.
  • Wide screen support, window and borderless modes, and high frame rates at the right game speed.
  • Xbox-style controllers, raw mouse input, and a crouch toggle.
  • No proprietary libraries for movies and music.
  • Fixes for dozens of the retail game's own bugs.

Every change since the retail game is in CHANGELOG.md.

Testing

The game is a 32-bit Windows program. It is tested on Linux with Wine and Proton; Windows has had less testing. Please report problems in the issues, with the modern.log from the game directory attached.
