Description Bill Pickett 2011-11-25 15:25:17 EST 
Windows 7 is not listed as a platform to report a bug so the only other option is “other.” 

Present in: Retail 1.3.1 version.

Platform: Windows 7 64-bit.

Description: When you kill an enemy their body is supposed to “burn away” until nothing is left. Under Windows 7 64-bit (and maybe others) when the body reaches “fully burned away” the full body will flash back on-screen for a quick moment and then be gone.

Workaround: I have a mod right now that sets the “stay time limit” for bodies to something like 300 seconds. They don’t “burn away” they just stay there fully drawn when you kill them.

This bug is present in Resurrection of Evil as well.

Just tried to reproduce the bug while recording video:

It's been quite a while since I've ran Doom 3 without the "workaround" pak file.  Obviously something else has changed as the bodies now do burn correctly away.

I'm blaming it on video drivers.  Sorry to take your time.
