Hi.

I bought and installed Doom 3 and RoE.

RoE updated Doom to version 1.2.

I then ran Doom, and it asked if I wanted to upgrade to version 1.3. I 
downloaded the 1.3  update, but it says it's already patched to version 1.3 
and can't be installed again.

The console says version 1.2.1287.

A relevant registry entry seems to be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Id\Doom3, 
where Version = 1.2.

Another is 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\2C8096BF8312E6D4C9FA117DEAC69390, where 
version = 0x01020000 (16908288).

Another is 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\8B7624850BB081D4F9AF27566716E9A9, where 
Version = 0x01030000 (16973824) - I tried changing that to 0x01020000, but 
that didn't work either...

I can't connect to any servers, and I can't run CDoom (which requires 1.3), 
so I am pretty sure Doom is definitely at version 1.2 only.

I have tried reinstalling on a different drive but it doesn't fix it.

Anyone got any ideas?

I emailed support@activision.co.uk, but no reply yet.

Cheers,
Martin.
