Doom v1.2 released

Isn't this nice? No release date announced, and it comes out by

itself! :)

Doom v1.2 was uploaded last night all over, including ftp.uwp.edu.

It contains tons of new stuff, including modem play, nice-to-the-net

network play, several gamma correction levels, a Nightmare difficulty

mode for that uppity bunch who claims the game is too easy, changes

to a couple of the maps to enhance net play, several changes to

setup.exe, native Pro Audio Spectrum support, and lots of other

nifty stuff.

However, although the GUS bug was squashed quite a bit, it wasn't

quite killed. It still hangs on occasion. However, those

occasions are less often now than they were last week. Solution:

save your game often.

However, there are buttloads o' fixes that are 100% killed. The

list is quite long, so the best thing to do is to just download

the new stuff and see if it works out for you.

No other big news right now comes to mind.
