doom2.wad - latest version size?

[moonspell]

Hello,

I am aware that the current version of Doom II is 1.9. I would just like to know exactly how big the doom2.wad 1.9 file is.

I have been using source ports over the years and I only have the WAD files from the Doom games, so there is no way of knowing what version I have.

If somebody here is confident that their Doom II version is 1.9, please reply stating the exact size of your doom2.wad. If yours matches mine, I have 1.9 and everything's fine.

Cheers.

Maybe one that has been corrupted in some way. Try re-installing from your original disks/CD.

[moonspell]

I will try just that! Thanks, people.

Oh, and if you have an old version (e.g. the five disks that the original distribution of Doom2 tended to be), you will need to apply a series of patches to bring it up to version 1.9. This is a bit fiddly but not difficult.

The patches can be found here - ask if you need any help applying them.

Aha! I did have v1.9. After I reinstalled, the WAD file returned to its normal size. Doesn't need patching now!

Thanks again.
