I installed the patch but it still remains at version 1.3.1302. When I installed the patch I install it to C:\games\doom3\Doom 3\

 

Is this correct or am I installing the patch wrong?

 

Ok let me add that when I go to programs and into doom 3, there are 2 doom 3 icons. 1 of those icons let me start doom 3 up but it's at version 1.3.1302 and the other icon comes up with

 

couldn't load default.cfg

Uninstall Doom 3 first, delete the folder c:\games\doom3 (backup any saved info you want to keep first). Install Doom 3 again, apply patch. When you browse to the proper location with the patcher make sure it doesn't add "Doom 3" to the end, if it does delete this.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Thanks mate, I got it working. I went through all that trouble and fixing the problem was as simple as deleting the "Doom 3" at the end of the patch location.

 

Thanks a lot, and to everyone else who "attempted" to help me but gave me wrong solutions and suggestions.

That's a rather polite way to thank people who at least TRY to help you if you can't figure it out on your own. <_<

 

Yeah I got that too, what the hell is wrong with people? Seriously, all help should be appreciated, even if it's not successful in solving the problem they are still trying to help.

I apologise for failing to read your mind. I have failed in my duty. *harakiri*

This sentence came out sounding pretty sarcastic/snarky, given the "quotes" and the mention of "wrong suggestions":

It's hard to tell when people are being sarcastic or not in writing. If you give people cues like that then they'll naturally jump to conclusions.

Maybe english is not his first language?

I did not read hostility into it (just clumsy language; we all do it), but the tone was inferred and the rest is history. Let's get over it already shall we? I'm definitely not defending though -- If you think the comment was that annoying, you should've seen the attachment I deleted from the first post. <_<

It seemed fine to me, not excellent wording, but basically, "even though a lot of the help turned out not to be the problem, thanks anyway for trying". :)

 

@Half - I think some of the folks are just a bit overworked or what have you during this past week, so it's easy to see some things the wrong way perhaps. I don't think it's anything personal, really.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
