Files

NOTE: all these files are intended for use on a PC. The 2001 version and the demo do not need to be installed, just extract the files into a new directory. The utilities work on the full PC version of Duke Nukem Forever. No utilities exist for the console versions of Duke Nukem Forever. The DNF demos for PS3 and Xbox 360 are no longer available.

Also included is a decompressed version of both files, an assembled build of the game and an executable from August 2001. This package was released on May 10, 2022.

Duke Nukem Forever demo
Description: THE DEMO OF DUKE NUKEM FOREVER that was released on June 3, 2011.
Format: RAR (split in two files). The archive is protected by the password t3h_f4t_dud3_L13D
Size: 1.21 GB
Instructions: what you are downloading is not a pair of archives containing different files. It is a single archive, split in two. So:
  • Double-click on either of the two files, enter the password and extract the content into the directory you want. At the end, DO NOT do the same with the other file, because you already extracted the whole demo from both files.
  • In the newly created directory, you will find a new .rar file called Dukenukemcrack.rar. Double-click on it and extract the content into the same directory you created for the demo.
  • You will find a new subdirectory, called Dukenukemcrack. Inside, there are three files. You must cut them, reach the System subdirectory and paste them.
  • You can now launch the demo, by double clicking the DukeForeverDemo.exe executable.
  • If the program crashes, you can try to disable the Data Execution Prevention feature for DukeForeverDemo.exe. You can do so by following the instructions at http://web.archive.org/web/20170521013619/http://www.thewindowsclub.com/turn-off-data-execution-prevention-dep.
How to enable the console in the demo:
  • If the Duke game is open, close it.
  • In the shortcut properties to the Duke game, add this to the path of the game in the target box: -log
    It should look like this: "X:\Path\DukeForeverDemo.exe" -log
    Note: You can create the shortcut to this file yourself if needed.
  • Open the game with this shortcut.
  • Press the Windows Key or ALT+Tab to move out of the game and to the console window.
  • In the console window, enter this command: set UWindow.WindowConsole ConsoleKey 192
  • After you’ve entered the command, quit/exit the game.
  • Now, start the game without the shortcut, or after removing -log from the shortcut.
  • While the game is running, press the ~ key, which is usually located at the top left of the keyboard.
