Is there a place where you guys have assembled or made lists of your favourite wads? I tried doing a search and didn't find anything immediately so figured I'd ask.

I think I'll make a quick list of horror/spooky wads I have played for Halloween for fun on here when sometime between now and when October begins.

Oh that's pretty cool! I wonder if it will work on anything but GZDoo-
Damn.
It really sucks, personally, GZDoom is by far one of the worst sourceports I have experienced. It was when I was playing Extermination Day + Brutal Doom v.22 by Sergeant_Mark_IV, and I got to the hell segment of the wad. Specifically Stronghold MAP25 is when I started to experience HEAVY ASS slowdown. Hell had these massive sprawlling environments. (City of Dis looks wicked). But now came with framerates I had never experienced before. At first I thought it was graphics settings, so I had to go look through the settings for what I think could be causing the issues. Was it hardware rendering? No. Was it my resolution. No! Was it dynamic lighting? No!
I noticed the framerate was because of how many demons i was killing. IN FUCKING DOOM. A GAME ABOUT SLAUGHTERING DEMONS. I can't even make sense of that! How the fuck can your team claim this sourceport is the way to play doom when it has basic issues when more than 200+ demons are killed?! And one might say that brutal doom was causing issues. Regardless of that was even the case (keep that in mind for later) doesn't your webpage claim it's meant for running mods?! In fact here's a quote from the official website:
For the sourceport that claims to be "Beyond Doom" it sure can't run it well at all! I literally have no idea how to fix it on my own, and apparently no-one on the ZDoom or Doomworld forums knows either. This sourceport has been out for like 10 years and no-one could figure out what the damn issue was?! Sometimes the developers/defenders will claim it's because of low-end pcs and that it's YOUR problem. The hardware I'm running is absolutely irrelevant, because doom is a fucking 30+ year old game. I'm pretty sure JOHN CARMACK had the foresight that his game would probably age, along with the advancement of technology so he optimized the fuck out of it.
So I gave up trying to run brutal doom with GZdoom, and went to Zandronum (which is apparently based on an older version of GZDoom) And guess what?!
IT RUNS FLAWLESSLY WITH ZERO SPIKES WITH 400+ MONSTERS KILLED.
Brutal Doom was absolutely NOT the issue, it never was. It was GZDoom's fuckery that barely anyone has a meaningful solution to, other than the obvious: NOT using GZDoom. Even it's developers lie about the cause of the performance issues, claiming it's because of low-end hardware, in order to what? Save face? I have no clue. It only prolongs the issue if you ignore it, so fix it already! Again, hardware is not the issue, because DOOM came out in 1993. The hardware was ass compared to now, but apparently you can't run this 30+ game on GZDoom without performance issues, ON MODERN 2020+ HARDWARE. GZDOOM'S MAIN SELLING POINT
Quoted from themselves:
And with Zandronum, although it runs great, comes with it's own issues. The fact that some mods, just don't work! Literally! I had issues with this problem just today. Forcing me to use GZDoom just to use it. I hate that.
There's this mod right? Called OmniVehicles. Cool fucking mod that helps expand the lackluster vehicle inclusion in Brutal Doom, because vehicles have to be placed in the map editor or manually spawned via console. But with this mod, you get the ability to call in vehicles based on how much monsters are on the map, or how much you killed. Really cool! Problem, it only works with GZDoom.
Why exactly? I wish I knew, but the mod creator decided that because the Zandronum version of the mod was "Outdated" he just deleted that file completely. Gone, POOF! Oh that's just great, I said. So I tried to use older versions before the v.0.34 file. Guess what? DELETED. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN. You don't just delete a mod because it's "outdated". That's completely fucking insane! Imagine if ALL mod makers did that on nexus. The platform would be dead! You keep mods, you don't destroy them. So what now? I have to manually spawn it in by myself. OR PLAY THE WORST SOURCEPORT OF ALL TIME just to use this pk3 file.

The GZDoom team have to insist that they made "The Greatest Doom Sourceport" And because of that, the doom community has to suffer with a terrible port just to play great mods. What a sad state we're in. I can hope that Zandronum or some other source port team manages to find a way to get around the terrible code of GZDoom in order to implement it's features into their own ports.
Or if none of that happens, I'll just become a fucking coding genius or whatever, get a bunch of other coding geniuses, just to bring this damn community a good sourceport, and extinguish the necessity to use GZDoom Because right now, it's either have cool mods, but terrible performance, or flawless performance without all those cool mods. As it is now, I hate this.
tldr; If there is some holy grail way to play GZDoom exclusive mods, or even a magical way to fix this shitty sourceport's performance issues. Then, holy shit, just spit it out already. Because this sourceport's performance is ASS.

Using the latest hardware to run a decades-old game is ridiculous, not to mention the faggot-loving devs resorting to more complex code to justify the existence of GZDoom/Troonworld's lazy no-life mods. I don't want to use the latest GZDoom to play a map.
It's time to play horror-themed maps once again next month though the enemies that I'd want to use are ones from real-life: violent gun-toting niggers and SJWs.
And I guess Lovecraft-themed maps would do for this year.

The problem might be the source port performance but you have to take into consideration that the Doom community gets way too ambitious with their projects. Like WAY ambitious.
GZDoom eliminates most of the limitations but not all. That's why I was always against ginormous maps to be made because Doom was never built for that (there are other reasons too, like how draining it is to play the same map for hours and hours)
Although sometimes, it isn't about a highly detailed huge map that causes the shitty performance. I remember playing Shrine II and the final boss was spamming projectiles that turned the game into a power point presentation. It was literally unplayable and I'm surprised (at the time) this was not found as an issue. I tried to play with graphical settings for a bit to reduce the lag but was unable to achieve better results.
I had to use the inventory power-ups to just rush-kill the boss before it starts to spam those projectiles.
Also, don't be surprised they can't improve the source port in any way. Doom community consists of lazy, underachieving trannies & their allies who constantly infight, seek attention to validate their pathetic existence because 'what is self-improvement?', politics living rent free in their heads, policing opinions, trauma-posting, suicide-baiting..., pretty much everything except focusing on their hobby, which believe me, their mental health wouldn't be in a shitter, if they actually did that.

really, really, really old post, but i decided to respond to it anyway due to this message being so fucking retarded. this message appears in "hideous destructor", basically insurgency but in doom (not arma 3 in doom, i find little comparison between the two.) and the developers have been obnoxious about trying to make things accurate...
so when they say "if you're having trouble with this, one stopgap measure is to think of this in the same way guns are loaded." i get so fucking confused. if i try to, lets say, load a stanag mag into a fucking pistol, IT'S NOT GOING TO FUCKING FIT, AND IT ESPECIALLY WON'T FIRE 5.56. to even make that work to begin with, you would have to greatly change and or alter the gun, to the point where the weapon is no longer the same as it's original self anymore.
...oh wait, that's literally all what trannies are about. basically, they self admitted that trans people aren't real women nor men. congratufuckinglations, niggers. good mod, horrible troon community though.

The thing about Nightdive is that they're so beloved because they lead their field. Their competition on "studio dedicated bringing back old games to modern systems" is what? Aspyr and LimitedRunGames, and comapred to those, Slopdive has a bigger catalog and better track record. Their best work is on games that don't have source ports like Rise of The Triad or Turok 3, because then their efforts are actually useful. Otherwise, on cases like Doom, Quake, Heretic, Hexen, they are incapable of making a re release that feels as polished and smooth as a great source port, which is par for the course with all official releases of old games. Ie: see Shadow Warrior Classic Redux and DN3D Randy Edition.

I thought the Heretic/Hexen remaster was great, but they messed with the maps and hid the setting to set it to the original.
I hope someone remakes FEAR, which is a banger of a classic. I've done as much as I can with mods, HD texture packs, RTU Remix, Optiscaler, and Reshade.

GZDoom's performance problems are a long-standing known issue. Long story short, the engine is less optimized than other sourceports because it has to accommodate for all the shit it must do to accommodate mod support. Namely it implements all existing Doom engine actors in its own native scripting language (ZScript) and that adds some considerable overhead as opposed to the original Doom engine approach of just hardcoding all actors into raw C.
Also yes, Brutal Doom is notoriously an unoptimized piece of shit. It always has been. If that upsets you then get a better computer I guess.
You are essentially asking "why don't they just implement advanced features with all of the upsides and none of the downsides?" which is impossible.
There is actually a similar sourceport that focuses on advanced features called Eternity Engine but nobody uses it, namely because it's also a piece of shit that segfaults if you sneeze at it. Probably the worst time I've ever had working with custom sourceport features. I'd just stick with GZDoom despite its shortcomings tbh.

Ad Mortem was made in 2021 by /vr/, which is 4chan's retro video games board, which is somewhat doomworld adjacent and run by unironic tranny jannies like much of 4chan is these days. Don't know much else.
Theres one creator whose planning on releasing 2 commercial gzdoom engine games on steam this year. I'll do a mini write up on him when both release.

Really nigga. If it's unoptimized then the hardware was not purely at fault. It's many other factors, and hardware is just one issue, even irrelevant as I will bring up later. Also, no. Brutal Doom is pretty okay optimization wise. It's just that GZDoom is not. If I can run Brutal Doom with zero issues on Zandronum, 400+ monsters killed, why is it that it runs terribly on GZDoom? Is it now Brutal Doom's fault for being unable to handle GZDoom's bad coding?
This is Doom, a 30+ year old game. Hardware is absolutely not an issue, it's poor optimization like you said yourself. The "get a better computer" argument is the same one used by the GZDoom developers on discord and elsewhere in the doom community against people with modern day hardware that can't run their shit program efficiently. I'm not against the idea of using GZDoom, but to have rather dull performance for a decades old game, that was well regarded for it's excellent optimization, in 2025, is disappointing. It's neat that GZDoom brings all these great features, but at least make the program run good. Is it really that hard?

Yeah, they still didn't fix stuff like the menu fonts. If you set them to classic, you still get a mix of classic and modern throughout the UI which looks inconsistent.
Multiplayer lobby settings also lacking tooltips. What does "modern cooperative" do? Who knows...
Actually, if you search for "modern cooperative" on the steam forums someone actually answered this.
Would've been nice to have any notion of that in game without having to dig through the forums a couple weeks after release. They already added tooltips to the game settings menu, why not use the same interface for the lobby settings?
Edit: Idk why this bothers me so much, but the menu UI just looks so inconsistent and half assed and it annoys the hell out of me. If GZDoom can have good looking classic style fonts, why couldn't they design a proper interface too?

Yep, It's Logic Obscure Productions with Unhinged 2 and Enigmatic Worlds
He made Mayhem Mansion and Unhinged which was good shit in my opinion, but let's check on him personally.
Both GZDOOM games are going to be awesome as I've played both demos but sadly I'm going to pirate them.
You know how certain people don't even need to read the early life to know someone is jewish?
I don't even need to read this libhick's tweets, I just see "he/him" in his bio and I just know this guy was Gravedancing in private when Charlie Kirk got shot.

I tried one map for about 5 minutes.
Putting aside the tranny shit, it just wasn’t well designed. Way too much visual clutter and the enemy behavior were different enough to warrant a smoother transition (ba dum tss) with levels or encounters that allow you to acclimate to the changes.
