This file is an update for Doom 3. The ruins of an ancient Martian civilization have unlocked the secrets to teleportation, and the UAC will stop at nothing to harness this world-altering technology. As part of a marine detachment sent to protect the facility, your duty seemed simple enough until the invasion. Now, in an epic clash against pure evil you must fight to understand who is with you, who is against you, and what must be done to stop this nightmare from reaching Earth. Built on ID's revolutionary new 3D graphics engine DOOM 3 draws you into the most frightening and gripping 3D gaming experience ever created.
There are none if it cannot be used without the original Doom game installed.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />The game looks gorgeous on a Quad Mac Pro at 2560x1600x32... Unfortunately, voice-overs completely cut out after the 4th or 5th person (when using OpenAL, which, to be fair, you are warned about "sound dropouts" with this version of OpenAL). However, the game exits back to the title screen when you try and go to the next area (Mars Underground), making this version unplayable.
Very good impovement

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I played Doom 3 after it was released with my powerbook G4 1.67 GHz with 1.5 GB RAM. Under high (and of course ultra) settings the game was unplayable. The presence of enemies would drop the framerate to the 1-5 per second range. Now it runs very well, with no real hinderance in gameplay under high settings with 800x600 resolution. Somewhat strange is that a consistant drop of framerate can be fixed with a restart.
Runs Great

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Running on a 17" iMac Core Duo w/ 1GB RAM at excellent speed. Looks like 1024x768 at medium quality is your best bet (although it will run well on high). Worth the wait.
Dare I say it... Zippy?

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Installed this update on my Digital Audio G4 w/ PLGX 2GHz upgrade card and ATI 9800 (hacked PC version). Had no problems with the install. They said that it improved PPC performance on ATI cards. They weren't kidding. I have a noticeable speedup in the game (running medium settings at 800x600). This was biggest in multi-enemy rooms with lots of projectiles, shadowing is better/cleaner.
Good update.
Extra Mouse Pointer at center of Screen after...

...update...<br />This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have installed and reinstalled Doom 3 and 1.3 Updater, but keep having a problem with a mouse pointer in the center of the screen (over menus and gameplay etc). Very annoying. Only shows up after the 1.3 Update.
