Set it up on Steam
Right click on the strife game and click on properties, then you click on set launch options

Then, you type this "-file example.wad"
and apply the changes
Setup the session

Once the game is loaded make sure you have your friends have loaded the PWAD as this is for Private sessions only and hasent been tested on Public Session

And thats pretty much it.
Enjoy
Map Crashing?
Since some maps are crashing

See if this works :

Goto Options>Graphics>Lights>
Turn off Dynamic Light and Lightmaps

Note that you can play the maps with the high quality renderer turned off, but to play PWADS in the high quality renderer, you need to compile your maps with GLBSP.

Turning off Dynamic Light and Lightmaps unfortunately did not work for me.

Some of the PWADs worked for me even mine using Doom Builder 2 i'm using Classic Mode

I'm guessing the below crashes are somehow related to the lightmapping used in high-quality mode. There are some mysterious lumps in SVE.wad regarding them, and I assume the engine is trying to apply lightmaps to surfaces that don't exist using the original lightmap data with the new map... Or something like that.

After some testing I've found turning high quality on is what causes the game to crash with custom maps

I've tried making a custom map to test this out, however each time it crashes the game
