Finally! Bout time. I just love these CraZygames. :D
Doom was pretty kewl in its day. Hopefully this will be another big hit for them although Doom2 was more or less a run-on of the original game.
All Graphics no Gameplay, I bet.
Moved to General Gaming. Please make this the only Doom3 Thread now. There have been a few threads go up about it in the past week or so.

I remember when the game was first announced and shown previews for it. It took so long for the game to come out, that those graphics are nothing too special now.
To make even more fun, it has Starforce 3 protection !

If thats true then I cant wait for the Threads that will turn up in the PC Games Forum. And everyone thought the TOCA Race Driver 2 threads were overkill :rolleyes:
Concerning that PC Gamer US Review. I wonder what kind of deal went on behind the scenes in order to secure that score ;)

DOOM 3 StarForced??? Noooooooo
What about Half Life 2?

"It will hit the shelves officially on August 5th, though it may be possible for you to find the game a few days before at your local retailer if you live in the US. For Europe, UK will get it first on August 6th with the other regions to follow until August 13th." (source: gamershell (www.gamershell.com))
The big question I've heard somewhere in the forum, should we expect Starforce 3 protection?
Activision is the publisher of the doom 3 game thingy. And what game and protection dose this company have publish earlier?
Call of Duty - SafeDisc 3
Shrek 2 - SafeDisc 3 (uk) (N/A - US)
Spiderman 2 the game - N/A
True Crime: Streets of L.A. - SafeDisc 3
Total War - SafeDisc 2 (they only license 1 so far title and that's Medival, the first shogun is license under EA Games)
Tony Hawk 4 - N/A (serial)
N/A seams to be popular and it means none protectio at all.
So what should we excepect gold sold, multi wanted titled Doom 3?
Well it have sold gold, so why should it be starforce 3 protected? They make a bunch of money without any futher ads or other things. They got plenty of fans witch will buy the game (that's why they sold gold).
I realy and I mean realy think we could expect SafeDisc 3 with CD-checks in it.
Doubt that Activision have buy other protection license, becuase most of the titles have sold very good. And I doubt that they would'nt risk to not protect the game, becuase then a flow of pirated copies will flowing around.
SecuROM seams not to be there thingy, becuase I could'n find one single game that have been SecuROM protected by Activion.
Serial protection? Yeah, like hell, think doom 3 also have a multiplayer part, so multiplayer = own serial.
So those who want to backup there untouched doom 3 disc, EXPECT SafeDisc 3 with CD-Checks and Serial (with's is not a thing to backup on a cd). If it is, Starforce 3, then GOD luck, but the odds are 1:700000 bilion.
How to back SafeDisc 3 protection, CD-Checks and other type of knowing and backup protection can be found in my backup guide. Use the search button and you find it!

i think it would be SF3 and serial.

My mate works for activision and he says that "it will have starforce 4 ultra turbo edition on it so if you try and copy it, your pc will blow up and your mothers head will spin round and round and she will start dancing round the kitchen like a chicken clucking her arms and screaming dooooooooom doooooom until her heart explodes and she dies on the kitchen floor".
Some how i think he was telling some pork pies and i think we should just wait until its released and wait and see what turns up! ;D lol

safedisc + CD checks and a serial like krondike says.
They can protect it with the latest starforce crap and it still will be cracked anyway, crackers won't mind putting some time in cracking this amazing game. :D

Hi there! I am a fan of games in the uncut-versions.
Now I would like to know, where I can pre-order the US-Version in a
german online-store.
Please: Only good rated stores.
Amazon Germany doesnīt even show the german version of d3 in
their database. Does anybody know why?
Half-Life 2 is in the list - but i guess it will not be released before 2005.
Thanks 4 ya answers.
By the way: Wrong Forum?!
(Because itīs not another request for a starforce-no-cd/dvd ;-D)
Cpt. Crunch
Doom 3 will be uncut in Germany
HL2 will be realeased sept30, not 2k5

seams that Doom 3 are gonna be 3 discs!
and UK version have been outleaked!
Anyways..lol, considering it's out stuff..
anyone know how to get the cheats to actually work in the game?
They say hit '~' for the console.. but.. newp, no console..lol
its provably like Half Life, u have to add a parameter in the shortcut
crazygamelover
02-08-2004, 08:54
you would think it wound be like all of the other Dooms in regard to cheat codes. Have you tried pausing the game and typing in "iddqd" for god mode or "idbeholdl" to light up a dark corridor/tomb? Try some of the old codes from older Doom releases and see if any of them work? Personally I havent bought it yet. Just wondering if you tried the old codes yet.
lol i wouldnt be surprised if they worked :P
crazygamelover
02-08-2004, 16:16
Here is a list of old Doom cheat codes you can try. Just type them in during normal game play and see if they work. ;)
iddqd=god mode.
idfa=all weapons & armor & ammo.
idkfa=all weapons & armor & ammo & keys.
idclev=level warp.
idmus=change music.
idclip=walk past walls.
idmypos=where you are in code.
iddt=all map.
iddt x2=shows monsters & items on the map.
idchopper= Chainsaw
idbeholdl= temp light
idbeholds= go bezerk
idbeholdi= temp inviso
idbeholdv= temp invincibilty
idbeholda= full map

As all of you who allready have this game recognized the game is very slow even on new Computers.
I found out the reason for this and the solution to fix this problem.
As you already know after installation the game consits only of the doom3.exe and some .PK4 files. Those PK4 files includes the entire game (sounds, videos, textures etc.) in high compressed form.
Normally those files were decompresse during the game.
But this exactly is the problem. Even new CPUs are not able to decompress those files while running the game with good peformance and therfore the game runs very **** also on new computers. I don't know if the develpers of ID-Soft was just too stupid to think about this or if they have an agreement with some hardware manufacturing firms.
How to get around this problem:
It is very simple. Go to your Doom 3 installation directoy and get inside the folder "Base". There are some .PK4 files you have to open each of them with WinRAR 3.3 and extract their entire contents to the Base dir in you Doom 3 installation folder (replace all files if they are any duplicates). Now you have to delete all .PK4 files in the Base folder to prevent the game to use those compressed files agian.
Now the game starts and runs mutch faster!!!
Have fun playing Doom 3!!!
well i dont own the game yet, but i will certainly do that when i have it...
NICE ONE karlmueller :D

lol, you know, after the game crashed the first time, I loaded it up and checked to see if some of them worked. Not to cheat, just to see if they were still there. Anyways, when I typed it, it gave some message like "nice to see you still remember". Then stated the commands were invalid. Anyway, they just used the commands from the old q3 engine, like god, give all, etc..
Quall999
03-08-2004, 17:54
sry to double post, but karlmueller. There is an alternative. I had very, VERY crappy framerates at first on my ati 9700 aiw (high@1024x768). But now, it runs very, VERY nicely. Hopefully you have alot of ram. I only have 512, and the game runs good. Higher would only mean better.
Anyways, just go into the base folder, and open the file "doomconfig.cfg" Find this line here:
seta image_cacheMegs "##" (mine was 20, some others were 32)
then set it to something that you can spare in memory, mine is now:
seta image_cacheMegs "128"
That should give dramatic speedups. Someone with a gig of ram could probably set it to 512. Anyways, people have reported as much as a 35f increase (one had 25, edited and got nearly 60).
im saving this 2 tweaks in my notepad lol
When i get the game ill try:
Putting it at 1280x1024x32
with everything on high
then ill uncompress the pk4 things and then edit that file the other guy said, if it works...
Ill get a smooth HELL GOOD looking Doom 3 :D
btw, i have 1gig of ram (dual channel so even better), what if i put 768 to spare? would that be pushing it?
Quall999
03-08-2004, 18:22
Well, I like to map for games, so the first tweak kind of bugged me. the pk4 is just an imported zip file. Extracting all those files gives me a headache.
oh yah, after I edited the line to seta image_cacheMegs "128", the frames went strait up to 60fps (the game is capped at this, so it won't go higher) with no demon entites on screen, down to 20-30 with enemy demons.
In my opinion, this game is a cross between resident evil, and halo. Movement, speed, and rate of fire is the same as halo (along with spaceship surrounds), but there are demons, zombies, and other baddies that move and fire like that of RE. And the atmosphere is just as creapy (a zombie might just pop out and scare the loafs outta ya). One of my 2 favorite games at that lol.
768, hmm, not sure. 512 would be great already, i mean, the default is probably 32 lol. 768 with nothing running in the background should be ok. Just uh, don't do the ultra settings. It needs like 500mb video ram, and they don't make any past 256 (yours) lol.

LOL! :D Can you believe I had most those memorized from back in the day!
The rest were in my notepad archieves. Atleast we now know the old commands dont work anymore. :p :cool:
I bought Doom 3 and I love it! The funny thing is. I can run it on my laptop and they are below minimum system specs. They are in my sig.

Just a warning to those with an 9700/9800pro ati vid card, tehe game will probably crash after 15-20 minutes of play. You have to find the beta 4.8 catalyst drivers to fix that problem.
got a 9800pro and using the latest omegadrivers I have not had any crashes (only gfx halt when a new best appears... dunno why this is happening)
So then ladies, the games been available for just over a week. Has it lived up to your expecations? Or was I right in thinking that its all Graphics no Gameplay? ;)
Roll on Half-Life 2 :)

09-08-2004, 18:58
ati 9800 pro no crashes at all and yes i like the game it's pretty cool worth $54.99 for sure.
u paid 55 dollars for doom 3... dude next time search the internet, ud save a few bucks

If there anything I can do to clear this error up... :mad: I've already re-installed XP just to make sure that the game would run proper
Thanks

pak004.pk4 is corrupt on like 80% of the Doom 3 "archives". I had the same exact problem, pak004.pk4 is all the textures for Doom3. Try another site, torrents are usually best, avoid IRC.

not after shipping http://www.fileforums.com/images/smilies/wink.gif, I looked lol.
Anyways, I like the game. It is like no fps that I have played. It actually makes me jump continuously throughout the game, and the levels are as beautiful as said. I play about a level a day, and am on lvl 12 now. Multiplayer is alot funner than I expected too. I was used to a 4 player limit (well, ther eis that patch) from halo, but it actually makes it funner than 8. The weapons are never there with 8 people, it actually sucks alot when you try and play with a pistal in a room lagged out by too many players.
So, my answer is that it it not as good as it was hyped, but it is on my top list of favorite fps's.

Try another site, torrents are usually best, avoid IRC.Telling someone to download the game from torrents instead of IRC as help and then basically telling us that it is what you did....I think you should come back in a week.
i pad Ģ24 with shipping free in powerplay, i dunno how many dollars that is tho he

Whenever I start up Doom3 the loading screen pops up and then it closes and this blue window pops up and says
ERROR: LoadLibrary 'D:\Program Files\Doom 3\base\gamex86.dll' wants to load 'D:\PROGRA~1\DOOM3~1\base\gamex86.dll'
********************
ERROR: couldn't load game dynamic library
Does anybody have any clue what that means and how to fix it? Thanks!
sounds like a corrupt instalation, try reinstalling

see if "gamex86.dll" is in the base folder. Even if it is, extract it from the pk4 file it is in and over write. This seems to be a more common problem.....
although...
D:\PROGRA~1\DOOM3~1\base\gamex86.dll
doom3~1 doesn't have a space, i don't know if windows removed it when they shortened path, but...
If all fails, you can go to d3files.com. I made a launcher for the game under utilities. Just click the profiles button and load one. It will create a new save directory and make a new "gamex86.dll" file as well.

When ever i start doom 3, lets say in recruit mode, it exits the entire game to the desktop. i have a brand new ATI All-in-Wonder retail right out of the box. do i still need the Catalyst drivers? Thanx
All right so the game installed fine, and i was starting to play but sometimes when it loads stuff during gameplay and when the screen just temp. freezes (but for a long time), all the lighting goes away. It's Pitch black. Anyone else have any problems like this? Thanks

I would update my videodrivers and try to unpack the compressed data of the game for faster loading (here the instruction ORIGINALLY POSTED BY: "karlmueller")
--------------------
As all of you who allready have this game recognized the game is very slow even on new Computers.
I found out the reason for this and the solution to fix this problem.
As you already know after installation the game consits only of the doom3.exe and some .PK4 files. Those PK4 files includes the entire game (sounds, videos, textures etc.) in high compressed form.
Normally those files were decompresse during the game.
But this exactly is the problem. Even new CPUs are not able to decompress those files while running the game with good peformance and therfore the game runs very **** also on new computers. I don't know if the develpers of ID-Soft was just too stupid to think about this or if they have an agreement with some hardware manufacturing firms.
How to get around this problem:
It is very simple. Go to your Doom 3 installation directoy and get inside the folder "Base". There are some .PK4 files you have to open each of them with WinRAR 3.3 and extract their entire contents to the Base dir in you Doom 3 installation folder (replace all files if they are any duplicates). Now you have to delete all .PK4 files in the Base folder to prevent the game to use those compressed files agian.
Now the game starts and runs mutch faster!!!
Have fun playing Doom 3!!!
-----------------------------
and maybe you want to increase the performance even more there is a way to increase the cached megs that the game will use from ur RAM visit general gaming forum-->in the official doom3 thread on page 3 u'll find the above post from karlmueller and the other tuning alternative posted by Quall999.

ati released a 4.8 drive a day before yuo posted it. Although it doesn't state that it fixes probs along with the other games, it does fix problems with doom.
try fixing the amounts of dots in the number. 4.8 causes problems with doom get the omega or dna drivers.

i blew a fair amount getting me pc to run doom at near full blast.imagine my joy when the game after ten minutes playing kicked me out of the game and returned me to xp deskytop with washed out colours to boot.bugger i thought must have pressed the wrong button so went back in.guess what it did it again and again.this is a legit copy so wot the flip is going on.i have a radeon9500 pro clocked as a 9800 pro and its stable.athalon 2800 xp with a gig of ram at 333hz.i can run far cry at full res so it must be summet else.does anyone have any suggestions.
once again if u BOTHERED to read ull realise radeons have that prob with doom, download the latest drivers and ull be fine.

Hi,
I am trying to play Doom 3 on my laptop.
E machine 2400 athlon xp 512 pc2100
64 mb shared for memory Ati Radeon.
They have said on this forum that if you use winrar to decompress the files that the game can run smoother.
Is this possible??
At this point the mouse is really slow and the game is really framey.
any help would be appreciated.
Plus how do I convert the cd's to one DVD and where do I get a cracked .MSI file.
Thanks,
Tj

Yes, but don't expect and super performaces. I don't know for sure, but my guess is that it wouldn't run faster, just less studdering when you open doors and other random pauses during gameplay.
You don't need a patch or anything. I put mine onto a dvd. It was stated in a thread. ALl you have to do is open the msi file, look for "DOOM3_2" and "DOOM3_3", then change them to say "DOOM3_1". Then just name your volume label DOOM3_1 when you burn.
