This shareware version is provided by 3D Realms and contains
lots of exciting episodes to play. Now let me show you how to install and play
this game in the high resolution graphic quality.
You can use the share version of the game that you just installed with DOSBox and play (I’ll show at the end of this article how to do it) but EDuke32 project offers you an engine to play the game with high quality graphic, texture and sound. So first of all download EDuke32 engine from the link below:
Install Duke Nukem 3D using EDuke32 Engine
Step 1
You can use the share version of the game that you just installed with DOSBox and play (I’ll show at the end of this article how to do it) but EDuke32 project offers you an engine to play the game with high quality graphic, texture and sound. So first of all download EDuke32 engine from the link below:
or download from the official website:
Step 2
Install Duke Nukem 3D share version on your system. If you have a legal copy of the original game, then you can use that one instead of the share version. To install the game you can use the DOSBox platform, go to the end of this post to see how. Extract the EDuke32 zip file on your system like in drive C:\, open the DUKE3D installation folder and copy the DUKE3D.GRP and DUKE.RTS. Go back to the EDuke32 directory and paste these files in the same path.
I’ve already extracted these two files from my own share version that if you like you can download from the link below and copy them in the EDuke32 directory.
Step 3
Till now we have successfully installed the Duke Nukem 3D on our system but we haven’t included the High Resolution Pack yet. To try the game, double-click on the eduke32.exe file to open the launcher. In the EDuke32 window, select your desired resolution, tick the Fullscreen option and click on the Start button.
Step 4
To add the High Resolution Pack to our engine and play the game with good graphic quality, download the HRP zip file from the link below:
or download form the official website:
Step 5
Create a new directory inside the eduke32_latest folder and rename it to "autoload" and place the HRP zip file in this directory. Do not extract the zip file, just leave as it is. The EDuke32 engine will load the pack itself when you start the game.
Step 6
Go back to the root directory and launch the game. In the launcher window, select your desired resolution, Fullscreen, Polymer and Enable "autoload" folder. Again start the game.
Step 7
According to your own system graphic chipset or card, you can change the game graphic settings. For this go to Options>Video setup and try to play with different options. Some options that you can change are Render, Texture filter, VSync, Hires Textures etc. Then play the game and enjoy. You can use other packs provided by 3D realm website, like the Sound Pack. The only thing you need to do is to place them in the autoload directory and the EDuke32 engine loads them automatically whenever you start the game. Remember that you don’t need to extract the zip files in the autoload directory.

Step 1
Download the DOSBox latest version and install it on your system.

Step 3
Find the [sdl] section and change fullsecreen=false to true.
Find the [dosbox] section and change the memsize=16 to 32.
If you are using LCD display for your system, then find the [render] section and change aspect=false to tru.
Go to the end of the file and under the [autoexec] add the code below:
"C:\DOSBox" in the second line is the name and path of the directory we are going to create for our DOSBox application, so whatever name you select for this directory remember to change this line accordingly. Save the file and exit.
Step 4
Create a directory on the C:\ drive and rename it to DOSBox or whatever you want. Place the 3dduke13 (the free shareware that you download earlier) inside the DOSBox directory and then from the Start menu, run the DOSBox application.
Step 5
Navigate to the C:\> cd 3dduke13 then type "install" and hit the Enter key. In the next window, press Enter to install the game and leave all settings as their defaults. Wait till installation process finished.
