A new patch for Doom 3 was released over the weekend, and you can download it locally from AusGamers. No major changes, just a few fixes:

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)

I played this game recently and it is amazing how quickly it has dated.

yeah, i finished doom3 just after release and havent played it again. I did enjoy it, i just have other things to play thats all. Did they ever manage to sort out that horizontal refresh issue on nvidia cards?

after spending most of the day trying to figure out Vista software compatibility problems, it's refreshing to hear someone has bothered to update their software for Vista so close to the launch.

potential crash in physics

I hear Jim's off-road driving ends up with the same fate.

But yes, good news that they're supporting the game for so long.

Better than Titan Quest, a while to go to catch Starcraft. Didn't seem to have the same feel as Doom 1 or 2 :(
