''Day of Defeat'' is a 3D [[multiplayer]] shooter that simulates squad-level [[infantry]] combat between the adversaries of [[World War II]]'s [[European Theatre of World War II|European Theatre]]; the [[Allies of World War II|Allies]] or the [[Axis Powers]]. The goal is to complete various mission objectives.  
+
==Issues fixed==
 +
===Run the game at screen refresh rate (Retail version)===
 +
{{ii}} The retail version of the game defaults to 60 Hz when running with Direct3D renderer in full-screen mode.
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Use the <code>-freq <rate></code> [[Glossary:Command line arguments|command line argument]]|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Command_Line_Options#Source_Games|title=Command Line Options - Valve Developer Community|date=May 2023}}</ref>|fix=
 +
{{ii}} Example: <code>-freq 120</code> forces a 120 Hz refresh rate.
 +
}}
  
−
Players can choose between the [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] armies (American and/or  British armies, depending on the map) or the [[Axis powers of World War II|Axis]] armies. In [[Day of Defeat: Source]] there are only the American and German armies.
+
===Input Lag in Direct3D (Retail version)===
 +
{{ii}} On certain graphics cards, using the D3D renderer can result in severe input lag, even with disabled VSync.
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Set {{code|gl_d3dflip 1}} in the console|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=http://valvearchive.com/web_archive/sierrastudios.com/games/half-life/issues.html|title=valvearchive.com|date=9 June 2023}}</ref>|fix=
 +
}}
  
−
A round begins with two opposing teams starting simultaneously in their respective [[Spawning (computer gaming)|spawn]] area of a map. A round ends when one team accomplishes all of its objectives.
+
===Main menu issues (Retail Version)===
 +
{{ii}} In modern versions of windows the menu is usually not seen in full screen in addition to crashing when loading the game
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Run the game in [[Windows Compatibility Mode|compatibility mode]] for Windows XP (Service Pack 2)|ref=}}
  
−
Player [[Casualty (person)|casualties]] become reinforcements which are supplied according to a timer.  The reinforcements originate at spawn and can be composed of anywhere from 1 soldier to the entire team. The reinforcement timer is usually between 10-20 seconds, but this time may vary from server to server.
+
===Fatal Error - Available memory less than 15MB (Retail version)===
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Run the game in compatibility mode for <code>Windows XP</code>|ref={{cn|date=October 2016}}}}
  
−
Like other [[Half-Life (video game)|Half-Life]] [[Mod (computer gaming)|mods]], ''Day of Defeat'' tracks each player's accomplishment in team objectives, how many enemies each player has eliminated and how many times each player has died. The game also tallies these statistics for the entire team; this reflects the team's score which is primarily based on objectives.
+
===Black screen on startup (Steam version)===
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Disable FBO rendering|ref=<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/70/discussions/0/864959809942784569/|title=Steam Community|date=May 2023}}</ref>|fix=
 +
# Add <code>-nofbo</code> in the game's launch options.
 +
}}
  
−
After many rounds, the game ends when a set time limit expires, and the team with the most objectives achieved is the winning team regardless of kills or casualties, except in the case where both teams have not achieved any objectives or are tied in the objective score. The scoreboard is displayed and the game is restarted with another map.
+
===Windows 7/Vista Performance Fix===
 +
{{ii}} In Windows 7 or Vista with modern hardware, some users may experience extremely low frame rates during gameplay.
  
−
==Map objectives==
+
{{Fixbox|description=Set HL.exe to high priority|ref={{cn|date=August 2015}}|fix=
−
Day of Defeat maps do not always require that both teams have the same objectives. Some of the more popular maps have different objectives for each team.  
+
# Open Half-Life.
−
*'''Conquest Mode'''
+
# Press {{key|Ctrl|Shift|Esc}} in order to open the Task Manager.
−
Players can capture a flag by standing near the flag for a certain amount of time. Certain flags require more than 1 player for capture. Flags are presented as either uncaptured ('''Grey'''), Axis ('''Red''') or Allies ('''Green''' or the '''Union Jack''' if the Allied team is British). Certain maps (''dod_charlie'') do not allow a captured flag to be recaptured by the defending team.
+
# Under the {{code|Processes}} tab, find {{file|HL.exe}} and right click it.
−
*'''Destroy target'''
+
# Set its priority to high.
−
Players destroy a target by first planting a bomb at the target. The bomb is obtained from the spawn area. This bomb can also be picked up from the body of dead comrades. To plant the bomb, the player has to just stand within the designated bomb area. Bombs once planted cannot be defused and will detonate in a sizeable explosion.  In certain maps such as ''dod_jagd'', players may destroy targets (''tanks'') using rocket launchers.
+
}}
−
*'''Capture target'''
 
−
This is a variation of the capture the flag. Instead of a flag, a target (''truck, airplane, or building'') can be captured.
 
−
*'''Capture item'''
 
−
Players attempt to capture an item (''secret documents'') and return it to a designated location.
 
  
−
==Classes and weapons==
+
===Performance issues with dynamic lights on Intel graphics (OpenGL)===
−
''Day of Defeat'' features historical weaponry used during World War II.
+
{{ii}} Dynamic light sources being present, such as the flashlight or flickering lights, causes significant frame rate drops and lag spikes on Intel graphics.
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Use [https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=63930 this GLIntercept config]|ref=<ref>{{cn}}</ref>|fix=
 +
'''Note'''
 +
{{--}} As this method uses a custom {{file|OpenGL32.dll}}, it should not be used in VAC-protected servers.
 +
{{++}} Doing this also fixes [[Half-Life#OpenGL_overbright_lighting|overbright lighting]].
 +
}}
  
−
Players may also drop their main weapon to pick up those left by dead soldiers or discarded by other players, thus Allied players can wield Axis guns and vice versa.
+
===Glitchy mouse movement in-game===
 +
{{Fixbox|description=Enable raw mouse input in the game's mouse settings|ref=<ref name="FPS">[https://steamcommunity.com/app/30/discussions/0/1692659135922009898/#c1692659135923609379 Mouse problem | Steamcommunity.com]</ref>}}

''Day of Defeat'' maps muster scenarios of historical [[World War II]] battles requiring teams to control territory and complete objectives. Territorial control scenarios require the players to capture flags at important choke points throughout the map. Objective-based maps take players into battle for mission targets, such as a [[bridge]] or German [[Nebelwerfer]] ([[artillery]]) or any other various tactical targets. To achieve most tasks requires the players to use [[Trinitrotoluene|TNT]] charges at the objective. The many different possible objectives types include "clandestine missions", such as obtaining secret documents and returning them to headquarters.

Issues fixed

Run the game at screen refresh rate (Retail version)

The retail version of the game defaults to 60 Hz when running with Direct3D renderer in full-screen mode.
Use the -freq <rate> command line argument[2]
Example: -freq 120 forces a 120 Hz refresh rate.

Input Lag in Direct3D (Retail version)

On certain graphics cards, using the D3D renderer can result in severe input lag, even with disabled VSync.
Set gl_d3dflip 1 in the console[3]

Main menu issues (Retail Version)

In modern versions of windows the menu is usually not seen in full screen in addition to crashing when loading the game
Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 2)

Fatal Error - Available memory less than 15MB (Retail version)

Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP[citation needed]

Black screen on startup (Steam version)

Disable FBO rendering[4]
  1. Add -nofbo in the game's launch options.

Windows 7/Vista Performance Fix

In Windows 7 or Vista with modern hardware, some users may experience extremely low frame rates during gameplay.
Set HL.exe to high priority[citation needed]
  1. Open Half-Life.
  2. Press Ctrl+⇧ Shift+Esc in order to open the Task Manager.
  3. Under the Processes tab, find HL.exe and right click it.
  4. Set its priority to high.

Performance issues with dynamic lights on Intel graphics (OpenGL)

Dynamic light sources being present, such as the flashlight or flickering lights, causes significant frame rate drops and lag spikes on Intel graphics.
Use this GLIntercept config[5]

Note

As this method uses a custom OpenGL32.dll, it should not be used in VAC-protected servers.
Doing this also fixes overbright lighting.

Glitchy mouse movement in-game

Enable raw mouse input in the game's mouse settings[6]
