Pre-patching Doom 3 help

[Joe Forster/STA]

Dunno why you bother with this. I install the game from the CD/DVD, apply the latest official update to it, extract the related registry entries into a file, RAR up the whole thing and then uninstall the game. The next time when I do have some time to play with it, I unRAR it, import the registry file and play. When another official update is released, I unRAR, apply, re-RAR. That's what I call a "full rip" that comes without the stupid installation process.

Perhaps he's like me. preferring to have a real installation that includes the latest patch too. I don't feel like raring a game archive and then unrar it. I want an installation...

But mostly I get too lazy and just creates a backup with the latest patch and crack in a folder on the CD...
