Since v1.3 the game refuses to work on my maschine (Athlon 1200). All I get ist:

signal caught: Illegal instruction
si_code 2
Trying to exit gracefully..

It seems to me this has something to do with missing SSE support.
With version 1.2 everything runs fine.

Has anyone had problems with SMP support? I tried with 1.2.1 and with SMP on things seem to work (not sure if SMP is actually doing anything to help). With 1.3 it freezes after the level loads or completely crashes out. I only have fake SMP (hyperthreading) but this should work.

Anyone else have a problem with not being able to see through some of the glass windows with the new patch?
All I see now is a big gray texture, and I know I was able to see through them in the previous version.

Like in Doom3, when the format of the save game changes, you can load savegames from the previous versions but they will only set you up at the start of the level, with the weapons/armor/health/ammo setup.

1.2 network demos can be played in 1.3 ( contrary to what the announcement said )

I was able to load a checkpoint just fine from an earlier version.

Save games and demos created on any previous version of the game will not be compatible with the 1.3 update…

…does this really mean I cannot continue my journey in single player after I upgraded?
