Along with surround sound support this release fixes a number of bugs. You can read Timo's release notes here. As usual the release is up on the idsoftware ftp server and there is a torrent."

    I didn't want surround sound. I wanted the gamma to be increased so I could actually see things instead of shooting at siloeuettes.

    Maybe this is all still part of the 'atmosphere' scam that they put us through. No thanks iD, I preferred Doom 2. Faster, funnier, and better to play. If I'd wanted to shoot at blacker areas of dark screen, I'd have turned down the brightness on my monitor. Dark areas aren't scary. They're just annoying.

    I'd say the same about most popular pornography, yet people still buy it anyway.
