![]() Doom 3 also checks to make sure you don't have certain drive emulation or CD copying software installed. Details of the latest patch is provided above, however if you are running Doom 3 version 1.2 or newer (which is strongly recommended) you will no longer need the CD in the drive to play either Doom 3 or Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil.ĭoom 3 has a protection system based primarily on a CD Key check – you must have a valid CD Key to install and play Doom 3 and/or Doom 3 Resurrection of Evil. Important Note: As of patch Version 1.2 onwards Doom 3 has a built-in No-CD. You can also copy the command line options from the Doom 3 icon across to the end of the target line in the ROE icon properties and they too will apply without any problems. However you shouldn't copy the DoomConfig.cfg file across since there are differences between these files for Doom 3 and ROE. So if you've created an Autoexec.cfg file for Doom 3 (See the Advanced Tweaking section), you can simply copy this file into the \Program Files\Doom 3\d3xp\ directory and those tweaks will then also apply to ROE when it starts up. cfg files for the base Doom 3 game do not automatically apply to the expansion pack - ROE's config files are held separately in the \Program Files\Doom 3\d3xp\ directory. In general all of the tweaks in this guide apply equally to Doom 3 and Doom 3 Resurrection of Evil, since ROE is pretty much just an 'official mod' for Doom 3 and not an entirely new game. It also appears as though the patch is not available to Doom 3 users unless they buy the expansion pack, however there is now a more recent 1.3.1 Patch which anyone can download and install, with or withour ROE (See above). The patch contains all the changes from the previous Version 1.1 patch, and must be installed before ROE can be installed. ![]() One of the major changes of the patch involves the removal of the CD check for the game - see the No-CD section below for full details.

It contains an entirely new storyline, new monsters and some new weapons - however it is very similar to the original Doom 3 playing experience.
