I have this broken game in my backlog for decades now, I wonder if this will make it run this time. Hexen II, according to Steam it was released back in 1998.

Have you tried Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion? Luxtorpeda may have it.

Doesn't that run on the Quake engine? Might be better to see if any of the source ports support it.
