THIS LEVEL IS A PIECE OF ♥♥♥♥

level is a piece of ♥♥♥♥

nvm got it to work by starting the quicksave and turning off gibs and going a diff route thru that rat room..went near the walls behind the boxes and made it thru

game always crashes just like InStars said you get shrunk and walk thru the air vent and it crashes in that room with rats you fight.. i cant get past that room

idk if this will help anyone but if it wont load a map then you need to have every map that came b4 it loaded along with the network resources. then it should work.

Game always crashes in split-screen right after the minimization section where you walk through the air vent and enter the room where you fight rats.

@holybagpipes
this happened to a bunch of people now it seems. Since this bug occurs randomly, the only workaround right now is to quicksave the game and try it again.
I'll try to fix this.

@kingwarez
did you follow the installation guide?

make sure to subscribe to the network script mod and the other levels
if you get a specific error message, what does it say?

can't play levels game keeps stopping need help to get this running

cheats help

Toxic Dump is ♥♥♥♥ tap buggy you are stuck becuse game not open gears like orginal and boss for masochists

Absolutely FANTASTIC. For oldies (1981) like me, who grown up on DN3D, this brings some good memories. Recommended to all, not just DN3D fans. I do like the extra little new bits added to original game level design. Great idea. Thank you for this.

I'm playing this in VR & am unable to activate the red keycard reader(for the shrinker.) I've tried approaching it from all angles and no prompt appears. Have tried it on 2 computers & 2 HMDs.

if the game crashes. lower the graphics settings to a minimum.

The game crashing

So, it seems the crashing might be a side-effect of the Fusion bug you mentioned in the description. I installed the playermodel animation fixer and loaded a save from the end of Death Row, and once I got to the same place this time, I had no issues.

I'm also unable to play this because of crashing. After being shrunken, after passing through the vents and fighting the rats in the area, the game crashes immediately after the next wave of enemies appears.

The game crashes when i pick up the sniper rifle for the first time and after the enemies appear.

Its dont work

The game keeps crashing during the shrunken levels :(

This map is awsome well made 5 stars

First I had the message "Unable to load level" then I unistalled "Duke Nukem BFE Fusion [Replace]" and it worked. But somtimes it freezes and I have only a black screen (the part when Duke is shrunken).

Hello, This is awesome! Thank you so much for this and all your hard work! I love playing this MOD as I am a BIG Duke fan! Looking forward to all the next mods you put together!

thanks guys!
@Metsakurat
it will probably take a few more months. maybe 3 or 4 (or more).
I'll also keep working on updating the other levels during that time.

Mr. Syndroid, any idea when can we see Episode 5? Loving your work! Have played through all levels multiple times.

I can not play this map for more than 30 seconds before it freezes and I have only a black screen. No error messages, nothing. I have to call up the task manager to close the game.
All the other Duke maps are working fine.

My specs:
win 7
r9 290x
16gb ram
i7 4790

Anyone else having this issue?

Also are you aware theres a bug with the ripper? says max ammo yet its still red.

I must say this is a true masterpiece... How is it a small mod team can create something better than a AAA company can? It blows my mind and I am truly looking forward for more from you.

Amazing work!
Keep the good job.

@Syndroid

I forgot about the auto saves, I'll have to just resume recording from the last point and patch 2 videos together in editing lol

@CERBERUS40000
oh well, I think I'm aware about this one.. I believe it's one of the assault trooper variants that sometimes causes the game to crash, and I don't know what exactly is causing this. The engine just doesn't throw out any error message when it happens. Fixing this issue is like looking for a needle in a haystack. really frustrating! I actually thought it was fixed because it had not happen to myself for a while now. Did you try resuming a save game?

Anyway, I'll do some more changes to the enemy placement and puppet settings in a bit.

@Syndroid
Everytime it's happened it's after I've been shrunk and gone through the vent to the next area, I just hit with a white screen and an error message which I can't screencap and have to use Task Manager just to close the game down again.

I'll try swapping the API on the next go, Vulkan was really choppy for me on Hollywood Holocaust though and I switched back to DX11 and it was silky smooth.

Keep up the awesome work though!

@CERBERUS40000
hm, is it a specific location where it tends to crash or does it crash right at the beginning?
If the game crashes entirely you could try changing the video API or something.
There's not much I can do about complete game crashes other than changing random things and hoping to fix something with it.
Fusion is very unstable since the last update, unfortunately.

Great work on Serious Duke 3D, it's been fantastic to play, however Toxic Dump always crashes on me while I've attempted to record a let's play.

Really looking foward to E1M5 :)
Also, i'm seeing alot of reviews recently on Youtube about your mod dude, even Gmanlives made a review, you should check it out.

Nevermind, figured it out. Honestly these physics puzzles should be removed or reworked into something different. Prop physics in the Serious Engine are a pain in the ass when used for platforming.

What are you supposed to do in that one room with Duke 3D on the TV? I reach the first shelf, but can't figure out how to get on to the higher ones.

Okay, if you're going to throw bezerk pigcops at the player, then we need a double barreled shotgun as a ♥♥♥♥ off button.

That's awesome. Looking forward to playing it!

Really top notch work. There are some horrendous collision issues with things such as breakable walls in this mod, but that's to be expected with how Sam 3 physics work.

This is a great reimagining. Nice work my friend. Real fun to just boot up and play after ♥♥♥♥ days at work. I know you only planned on doing Episode 1, but tbh, some episode 2, or some episode 3 maps might be ♥♥♥♥♥'n aces to see. I'd love to see how you do levels like Dark Side or something like Hotel Hell.

Again great work on this.

Thanks!
@damson
Yes, I already started working on level 5. https://imgur.com/a/S1gDWJA (WIP)
I'm also planning on adding addtional content to existing levels. :)

Wow, I played Duke Nukem 3D originally when it came out in 1996, the shareware episode engraved into my memory. I played today your mod (four levels) and I have to say it's amazing. Thank you for that Syndroid. I hope you plan to finish the episode with The Abyss and Launch Facility ;)

Gmanlives (formerly with three Gs) reviewed your mod with the first four levels in it. It's nice.

"Damn, those alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my ride".

stop being toxic!

Hell yeah, thank you for still making these awesome maps, my friend!

К своему стыду классического дюка не проходил, но всеравно этот мод очень понравился, надеюсь будут еще карты.

Cool! Nice mod! Made more new maps, please.

@fuegerstef
thanks! interesting, i added barriers for the Assault Commander to prevent that from happening,. Thought about deactivating the hover platforms too, but then thought it adds an interesting element of chaos to the fight. I could disable the collision on the platforms while the AC is alive. Will see what else i can do about the enemy navigation in that area.

Yeah, some models have simple collision primitives made for normal worldsizes. I can improve it by adding extra barriers in the world or something
