DOOM 3 - v1.3.1 Win32 Patch

We've tested Doom 3 and Quake 4 to run fine on Windows Vista, provided you have an OpenGL ICD installed (provided by your GPU vendor). Both NVidia and AMD/ATI have released an OpenGL ICD in their latest driver line. If no OpenGL ICD is present, the default OpenGL driver is a wrapper to D3D provided by Microsoft, which lacks the necessary features to run id games with their full performance and graphical impact. The install CDs (and DVDs) for Doom 3 and Quake 4 will install the game fine under Vista. The Quake 4 installer may require you to install Flash Player first, and Vista may pop occasional warning windows but in the end you will get a working installation. Fixes and updates in 1.3.1: - Tested and improved Vista compatibility - Fix a potential crash in physics - Fix an issue with pak downloaded being immediately appended without filesystem restart - Fixes to DNS lookup, reduced the stalls - Updated the code to gcc 4.0 compliance, for Mac OSX universal binaries and GNU/Linux x86 binaries - Threading implementation for Mac and Linux is more compliant with the Win32 behaviours - Fix Alsa sound backend (Linux) - Fixes to tty code (Linux) Fixes for modding/SDK: - Fix RevBitFieldSwap issue (affected only big endian platforms) - Fix ReadBindFromSnapshot - Verbose overflow check in idBitMsg::WriteBits and apply related fixes - Fix a GetFileList issue - Expose key states and button states to the game - Pass lastPredictFrame to the game (client prediction) - Pass HandleMainMenuCommands to the game - Pass the GUID to the game (in ClientConnect call) - Allow game to override gui load menu Fixes & Updates in 1.3: - PunkBuster(TM) support has been added. - EAX(R) ADVANCED HD(TM) support in the sound engine contributed by Creative Labs(R). Doom 3 base game comes with room reverb data. - To utilize EAX(R) ADVANCED HD(TM) in Doom 3, you must have 100% EAX 4.0 compatible sound card. Please refer to your sound card manufacturer for details on whether or not your sound card supports EAX 4.0. - Sound Blaster(R) Audigy(R) 2 users who wish to utilize the new EAX 4.0 feature in Doom 3 should download the latest Creative Beta Drivers for the card released on April 5th, 2005. Not using these drivers may result in game instability while using EAX 4.0. - Server provides .pk4 file download URLs (http/ftp), client has internal download. - New class of .pk4 files: 'addon paks' are only referenced when the map is loaded in. - .pk4 downloads and addon paks come with a number of fixes to the 'pure server mode' filesystem code. - Fixed ragdoll bounciness. - Fixed how Doom 3 detects LAN client vs. Internet clients. - LZW compression of render demos. - Fixed command line parameter passing. - Added a QuakeIII-style graph of the connection quality for network clients defaults off, enable with net_clientLagOMeter 1 displays a graph of how much the client predicts ahead of the server note that you can change the minimum predict ahead of a client by setting net_clientPrediction Changes relevant to mod developers (SDK): - Added UploadImage to idRenderSystem interface. This lets the user blit images to the renderer. - Supports fs_game_base; this lets you base a mod off base game + d3xp + your own content. - Most of the download redirection is handled in the game code, and can be extended. Linux specific: - ALSA device opened non-blocking to avoid hangs. Fixes & Updates in 1.2: - Engine changes to support DOOM 3(TM): Resurrection of Evil(TM) features ( time groups is the main difference ) - Mod support fixes ( also for DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil support ) - Online cd key check during startup ( with DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil key support if DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil is installed, whatever the current mod ) - Fix net_clientServerTimeout when server crashes / disappears - Cut down on projectile net traffic ( both base/ and DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil/ code ) - Lots of compatible internal savegame code changes from OS X(TM) and Linux(TM) in order to do things in a portable way - Networking fixes to hitscan projectiles - Fix a bug in the usercmd transmission - Fix client drops when server in pure mode changes maps too fast for clients - Reworked the synchronization of firing animations over the network
