DOOM + DOOM 2 New Update 1.000.002 Drops for Minor Backend Fix This Aug. 22
Bethesda and id Software has released DOOM + DOOM 2 update 1.000.002 (1.02 on PS4) and this is a minor patch that doesn’t affect gameplay at all, though that doesn’t mean there’s no improvements included in it.
Bethesda notes, “Today’s minor update to DOOM + DOOM II makes improvements to how clients communicate with the backend.” And that’s about it. Aside from DOOM + DOOM 2, DOOM Eternal has also gotten a patch today, which is a surprise update given the state the game’s in.
For those not familiar with DOOM + DOOM 2, the official description states, “Developed by id Software, and originally released in 1993, DOOM pioneered and popularized the first-person shooter, setting a standard for all FPS games. The critically acclaimed sequel, DOOM II, followed in 1994. Now the definitive, newly enhanced versions of DOOM + DOOM II are available as a combined product.”
The collection also includes multiplayer support alongside a slew of enhancements.
New Enhancements
- Online, cross-platform deathmatch and co-op for up to 16 players²
- Community-published mod support with an in-game mod browser²’³
- Choose between the original midi DOOM and DOOM II soundtracks or the modern IDKFA versions by Andrew Hulshult (including brand-new DOOM II recordings)
- Improved performance with multithreaded rendering supporting up to 4K resolution⁴
- Now on the KEX engine
- BOOM source compatibility makes it possible for hundreds of community-created mods from the past 25 years to be published in-game
- Accessibility options, such as a modern font to improve legibility, high contrast mode, text-to-speech, speech-to-text multiplayer chat and more
