Pretty sweet!

Thanks for sharing!

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.

:eek:

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?

SF3 also.

Doom 3 starforce 3 protected?!
 

"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)

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.

if we get lucky ;)

doesn't matter right?the otiginal plays ;)

its ID Software...

No CP but Serial ;)

Activision is the publisher
ID Software is the MAKER

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

LOOOOOOL

Where to Pre-Order Doom 3
 

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 doesn´t 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 it´s 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

Hi Cpt. Crunch I have a german i-net shop for u where you can preorder 4 different versions (wow!). ----->>shop

Cheats
 

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

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

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

How to dramatically increase the peformance of Doom 3!!!
 

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..
