- Support for Hexen II, Hexen II demo, Portal of Praevus mission pack and HexenWorld.
- Cross-platform code: Well tested on 32 bit and 64 bit platforms. Well tested on Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Windows, and even DOS. Reported to build and run just fine for Nokia internet tablets N770, N800 and N810 using Maemo, and QNX. Other unices with SDL support should also work fine. There are separate ports to AROS, AmigaOS4, MorphOS, RISC OS, PalmOS, GP2X and Pandora.
- Improved sound support. Support for OGG, MP3 and WAV external music files to be played instead of the original midi files. Working music volume controls and on the fly selection of CD or MIDI music.
- Support FOV (field of view) wider than 90 for wide-screen resolutions in opengl as well as software rendering.
- In-game resolution changing for both opengl and software renderers.
- OpenGL enhancements including multitexturing, glow effects, working brightness control, text and hud size changing on the fly, translucent console background, console background stretching, colored lights and support for external lit files, anisotropic texture filtering, fixes for texture cache and model mesh cache mismatches.
- Fullscreen intermissions and help dialogs.
- Fully network-compatible with Raven's 1.11 windows version as well as with other Hexen II ports. Can load and play games saved with Raven's 1.11 windows version.
- The same binary handles both original hexen2 and the mission pack. The same hexen2 binary transparently handles all v1.03-v1.11 (hexen2) and v1.12 (mission pack) style progs.dat files. The same hexenworld binary transparently handles all v0.11, v0.14 and v0.15 style progs.dat files.
- Improvements and lots of fixes to the HexenC game code.
- Countless bug fixes, security fixes and other improvements.
