I noticed that if the input device was set to keyboard, i.e. not mouse
or joystick, then I could not use the targeting cursor or place the
pipe bombs when crouching.

When I switched over to the mouse, everything worked great.
 (Bug or feature?)

Hope this helps.  I love the mouse targeting by the way.

On the website form 3Drealms there are two files:

1. Duke 3d v1.1 uninstalled.
2. Duke 3d v1.1 update patch.

If you still have this problem i would say try loading the complete
versie of duke 3d v1.1.

You should run the setup program after installing the patch.

Try running setup again.  I had the same problem until I ran setup and 
I got some message about 'updating config file to new version' and then 
everything worked.
YMMV

Didn't try that.

>Crosshairs don't work either.

This worked fine.  I didn't particularly like it, so I switched it
off.

Other things that worked:

*  Gamepad tested and it definitely works now.
*  Pipebombs can be detonated while looking 
   through security cam.  Tested and cool.
*  Mouse y-axis controls view.  Tested, works, 
   need to get used to it.
*  Exit security cam with up or down.  Tested.  
   Works great.
*  Play with Doomed Space Marine.  Tested, worked,
  also pretty cool.

>Anyone else encounter this ?

No.  Maybe you had altered files before patching?  Otherwise,
check again.

What is this "Doomed Space Marine" feature?  I saw it in the docs but I 
haven't a clue what this means.  Could someone please fill me in?

Thanks!

What do you mean by "Play with DOOMED Space marine"?  Is that only how you 
can shoot him and kill him (again) or is there something else?

I encountered this, went and reconfigured my controller in the setup 
program, saved my changes and bingo - the crosshair's, etc worked fine.

Well Just tried out the patch....NOT !

I'm running a 486dx266 with fast video with only 5megs of ram!

V1.0 works fine with a min.15fps with occassional crashes. I am thankful 
the game runs at all considering...

As insignificant this is, I know they say 8meg min. But the PATCH 
prevents anyone with less than 6.5 megs free to run at all now !

Geez ,this is one of the improvements? :-(

Anyway this post is just to add to the list of 'improvements' to this 
patch.

The trick is that you have to run setup again.  When you do, you get a 
message that your old configuration file was deleted and a new one 
created for you.  Then everything works.

I fixed these probs by rerunning setup which said it had detected an
old (ie v1.0) duke3d.cfg and it was converting it - this adds in the
configuration options for the new keys thus enabling them.

Reloading the complete v1.1 will work as it will automatically run setup
- this is what the patch should do really - or at least mention.

Hope this helps.

Are you sure you don't get it?  It's a *DOOM*ed Space Marine.  The Space 
Marines are from Doom, and the one you encounter is what your player 
looks like in Doom.

I had the same problem until I discovered that you need to run setup 
again. it recompiles the setup files.

  I had this problem as well until I actually paid attention during the 
install program.  I had run it through Win95, it warned me that it wouldn't 
work under _Windows_ so I ignored it.  Hey!  No change, even still says "1.0"  
Installed again... hmm.. maybe that warning means something...

  Restarted to DOS prompt, install.  Hey, what's that after the file copying 
part?  Something being unarchived.  Maybe this'll work.  Yup.  Cool.

I use crosshairs, mouse targeting, it added digital mouse controls
(the ability to make the mouse movement do the same thing as a
keypress....such as using a medikit for example...it allows you to
detonate bombs while looking in a monitor, it allows you to back out
of a monitor without pusing escape or running thorough all the
screens.  (very useful in a dukematch).  The steroids hotkey does
work, and it lets you use the cheats if you have redefined your d or n
key.

It will work if you tell that DOS session to not let the program know
Windows is running.
