Game has a lot of graphic glitches, making it unplayable...
Without thinkering its unplayable out of the box. But using the open source engine UHexen2, fixes that.
GL warning, then crash to desktop

Black screen on launch.
Works great, just pick the "hammerofthyrion" option with Luxtorpedia, and you're off to the races.
On SD doesn't work with Proton 7 or experimental currently. Others seems to have had success with some further tinkering on PC.

Regular Proton will not work with this game well.
Throws a GL warning at first run, then immediately crashes. No warning shown on subsequent runs, and still immediately crashes.
BORKED out of the box. Proton 7.0.1 and Experimental as of this writing leads to immediate game crash after launch

Works very well with Luxtorpeda (installed via ProtonUp-Qt)

You need to change in options the music type to "all codecs" if you want to hear the music.

Installed HexenWorld mod
Mouse would not turn to the left fully until I enabled mouse look.
Needed to enable mouse look.
Use Proton 4-11-13 and install the Hammer of Thyrion mod, Windows version - it can be found in the Steam guides.

Seems to be based on 90s version with added Steam support. Doesn't work OOTB on WINE/Proton.
Overwritten the files in "SteamApps/Hexen 2" directory with the win32 port of "Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion" project. This allows you to start Hexen II from Steam/Proton and works just fine.

Crashes on launch. Hammer of Thyrion source port runs perfectly but this is not what is being tested. Maybe it is a problem with early Open GL versions.

Crashes on launch.


Crashes immediately and says my graphics chipset doesn't support OpenGL acceleration.

PROTON_LOG=1 %command% will generate infinitely long log file, beware.. it grows FAST, many GB/minute. Must force kill


Crashes with the following error: GLHexen is a special, accelerated version of Hexen II that runs on some OpenGL-based 3D cards. Note that not all 3D accelerator cards will work with GLHexen



Just like GLQuake and GLQuakeWorld, it crashes on launch. This particular build of the Quake engine does not like SteamPlay.



A black screen is shown, then back to the desktop
