Cela n'était pas arrivé depuis longtemps, et on se disait tous que cela ne servirait de toute façon à rien, et pourtant les gars de chez id Software ont décidé de mettre à notre disposition un nouveau patch pour Doom 3. De leur propre aveu, ce correctif estampillé 1.3.1 ne changera pas grand chose, mais apportera quelques améliorations de-ci de-là, comme la compatiblité fortement améliorée sous Vista.

Le SDK, la version Mac, ainsi que les binaires Linux se voient également mis à jour, par la même occasion. La liste des fichiers est ici : www.zeden.net/jeu/Doom-3/fichiers

Le détail de la mise à jour se trouve dans la suite de la news.

Doom 3(TM) 1.3.1
----------------

We've posted a Doom 3 update (version 1.3.1) to ftp and torrent. You will find a detailed list of changes below.
There is nothing major in this update, but we had accumulated various fixes and improvements over recent months and we felt it was worth putting a new release out. We've been testing the game under Vista, and we're also bringing back cross-platform multiplayer compatibility with the Mac (the installer was contributed by Aspyr[1]).

A few notes about Vista:

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
