Hello, i'm really happy again to see another update for the mod and it is amazing as usual.
However, i face a problem since the previous updates and this which is that the game shows a black screen when i open with rend2 but sounds and mouse clicks are working im not sure if this problem related to my setup or not so, here is my laptop setup and i hope there is a fix for it:
Intel Core i5 M 460 2.53Ghz
ATI Mobility Radeon 4650 1GB latest update
4GB Ram
Windows 7 64bit
Overall the mod is amazing and working good on opengl1
I see. Rend2 still can be unstable for some users. Thanks for reporting.
Sir, interfacing menu of Real-RTCW v3.1 is modified like TDA-remastered 1.25? Also i was looking for interface like mission health bars, Objective clip-board, new mission status update like Wolfenstein-2009 game. Please give little info about this.
3.1 is not using TDA interface
Товарищ подскажи пожалуйста почему после установки вашего мода я не слышу новых звуков оружия? их убрали в 3.2 версии? Ставил со стима. Спасибо.
Ошибся наверное во время установки мода

Hi, WolfETPlayer you are amazing and RealRTCW also, thanks for bring RTCW the XXI century
I´ve a question is VenomMod inclued, or i´ve to download it?
Again, thanks for your ward work
Most of the Venom Mod improvements were implemented into RealRTCW 3.1, thanks to Hellbaron.
i hate to be a nitpick, but you know the game came out in 2001, right? i'm not saying the game hasn't been improved, it has, very much so. into the second decade of the 21st century, yes. into the 21st century, no. no SgtMkVIII and brutal doom is bringing it into the 21st century.
still love your work, WolfETPLayer.

So this version wont work with GOG RTCW?
The main files of RTCW is the same on all platforms. GOG RTCW is fully supported, just you can't download or use RealRTCW from Steam, all you need is RealRTCW 3.1 build here on MODDB.
I´m own GOG version, and i runs ok
What a great year for Return To Castle Wolfenstein! 🔥💖
New features: Removed GOG support (Steam version only)
Just kidding btw. :D
Congrats on getting both RealRTCW and TDAU to Steam. I hope many people will check these things out. It's totally worth it. :)
Hello. I cant start the game because when the loadingscreen appears the game freezes and can only shut it down with task manager.
I have started it with RealRTCW.x64.exe
the mod is in the Steam version of RTCW Dir, tried with steam running and not running.
addon pack is installed too, no other mods & patches installed, Steam installed RTCW then i copied this mod and the addon pack.
i tried with both render version, safe mode, 800x600 windowed, and 1920x1080 fullscreen, nothing changes, tried loading the savegame that is in the mod, same.
Training map does this too, the This is your favourite day... screen pops in then exe not responding :)
I7-6700K, 16G DDR4 2133MHz, GTX1070 OC 8GB, game is on a HDD.
Can you help, please?
Thank You!
Try use RealRTCW.x32.exe
that not starting, black screen for 4-5 secs then exits. but now its working after 10 minutes of "not responding" it loaded the game now i can play this great mod. each loading screen is a little bit too long but worth it.
Thanks!
I´ve already download from here version 3.1, and this is 3.11, what are the changes ? and a patch is welcome instead download again 2GB, my network sucks, thanks for your hard work
Sorry,there was a fix for major bug with a shaking camera. There will be no such unexpected updates in the future.
Ok, i see, thanks for your reply
Door opening buttons do not work in the game.
Hi, WolfETPlayer , here is a bug, when we run a spdevmap, for enable cheats, if you save the map, with cheats, then if you exits the map, and quit to menu or quit to windows, when you try to load that map, cheats are blocked, please fix that, thanks for your hard work.
I try using vendeta and normal rtcw, with same results.
Its not a bug,it suppose to be that way
Ok, thanks for nothing
So, i see FAQ from Steam, an it says:
How to activate cheats?
Activate console with SHIFT+ESC and then type:
/spdevmap *mapname* (e.g /spdevmap escape1)
This will load map of your choice with activated developer mode.
You can use cheats now.
Then you can add, but you cant save games, because if you do that load games dont enable cheats.

I face a problem it is that i set the geometric detail at high or very high and when the next map is loading the game crashes :(
The new MP34 skin looks pretty bad...the one in last version is more appealing. Maybe is the problem with the light?
What happened to those soldier who carry panzerfaust? They don't drop their panzerfaust anymore after get killed.
They do. Some of them like panzerdude on baseout map - dont.
It happends at swf trainyard and the ruins map too.
Hi, when starting RealRTCW.x64, this error appears ". Copy console log to clipboard?"
Have you installed it properly? You need to put mod files into RTCW root directory.

Will you add realcoop to the steam workshop with original coop and annivarsary editon coop.
Maybe
When will you prepare the full release of the last version with maps (Complete Edition)?
There will be no complete edition. You just have to download addons pack.
hey man.apreciate ya work but mine is not working.everytime I open it shows that id software intro but afterwards it shows me a grey screen.i randomly clicked on screen and then showed me a prompt aboout some tokents
Are you launching the mod from WolfSP.exe?
If you do you shouldn't. Mod must be launched from its own .exe.
i tried from mod`s shortcut too and it says:error and in prompt: copy to clickboard?
i dont have the steam version,i got the game from some old cd in the house
Ну. немного печально, что x86 больше не поддерживается( ибо на х64, бывает иногда, что вылетает, но не всегда (причем без ошибки вылетает)
x86 начала вылетать на старте. Ума не приложу почему - в коде ничего не менялось практически.
Hi there ! great job on this mod ! It looks really nice. But i would like to ask if there is any way to play in 4k resolution. Because what ever i try in the menu, i dont see 380x2160 as an option.
With the venom mod i have played the game in 4k, so the game can do .. I have tried adding in autoexec.cfg and wolf config, but the game remains on full hd resolution.
Is there any way to change settings so the game will be in 4k resolution ? Thanks !
in autexec i have put:
seta r_customwidth "3840"
seta r_customheight "2160"
seta r_mode "-2"
seta cg_fixedAspect "2"
There's an option to setup desktop (native) resolution.
Just keep going through the different resolutions values and you will see it.
hi, now i understand why that was not working. My desktop is set at 1920x1080, i changed it to 4k resolution now, and yes that works.
Thanks !
