If you have DOOM 3, you know the game has 3 CDs, and if it's below v1.2, you must use the CD to play it. Not to mention the ridiculous hardware requirements you need to play the game. Well......

When you get the latest patch (v1.3), you no longer need the CD to play the game.

To supposedly make the game faster, take all the PK4 files in your "C:\DOOM3\base\" directory, unzip them in the same folder (WinZip can do it), then delete them. The game should now (possibly) play faster.

I've already done all these things, and once I get through the graphical flaws that my crappy 82845G Integrated Graphics thingy has (I plan to get a new motherboard and a NVIDIA for Christmas), I'll make a Nullsoft Installer with the game, and burn the game onto a DVD! I might even include DOOM 1 and 2 on there as a bonus!

Note that right now, this DVD copy will only be for myself. I already have the original game, and I'm making this as a backup copy, like with my Star Wars OOT Widescreen THX tapes.

Just thought I'd post this as a tidbit though...
