Hexen 2 is a great game, but I never liked the fact that Anvil of Thyrion had a lot of issues with it–so playing the game in Linux was tedious. Not to mention that I could never get the OpenGL version to work, only the software render version.
I wish this project the best, and hope that it doesn’t become stale like AoT.

I look forward to hearing more from this project. I was disappointed in how Hexen II worked with my Windows — kept crashing. I’ve been trying to play with Anvil of Thyrion a bit lately. I was able to run the OpenGL (as far as I could tell) — but it seemed to only want to run in Windowed mode. And I haven’t figured out the Sound thing.
It would be great if someone were to document the settings in the config file (not necessarily for AOT, but for any config files used by HOT).
Look forward to hearing from you. I’ll be watching for any test releases!
