ROE requires the 1.2 patch which came on the cd. When I upgraded to ROE, it would crash upon starting the game. I turned to regular doom3, and it crashed too. I uninstalled both games, wiped the directory clean and reinstalled. Now, after I install regular doom3, I try to patch to 1.2, or even 1.1. Even though it is a fresh install, it is telling me that the game has already been patched. So, when I try to install ROE, it says, wait, I have to install the 1.2 patch first. It tries, then says its already installed, and then stops the ROE install. I've manually installed ROE, but it doesn't matter because I actually don't have the game patched to 1.2. I'm stuck and I'm really pissed. I have a major surgery in a few days, and I was hoping to spend my time recouping by playing ROE.

Damn, I should have just spend the extra money and got HL2.

btw, i did find the registry entry for doom3 and for the value of version, it says 1.0, which is what it really is. unfortunately both patches, 1.1, and 1.2 think the game is already patched...... wtf. this si lame
