Amaster Posted June 19, 2003 I remember reading about a copy of doom 2 that was deemed pirated by id. I also remember reading about a version that was made available before the official release (I think it was in the official wadster's guide or something similar). Whats the story behind these two? Are they both the same thing? If not, was the "prerelease" version a leak like the Doom 3 alpha? Or was it just some file masquerading as Doom 2? 0 Share this post Link to post
Mordeth Posted June 20, 2003 The copy of Doom2 v1.666 dated 8/25/94 has been deemed pirated by id Software. Apparantly it was smuggled out of their offices before the official release. I don't think it has any functional differences from the official released version. 0 Share this post Link to post

geekmarine Posted July 19, 2003 Well, there is a difference in that the patch won't work for the pirated version. Actually, I'm not sure, but I think somebody made a patch to patch the pirated version, but I know the official patch will not work on it. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted July 19, 2003 Yes, someone made such a patch, and it's hosted on The Page of Doom here on Doomworld, and I think it'd probably be better to tell the guy at The Page of Doom to remove it. 0 Share this post Link to post
