Doom 3 REALODED crack must be flawed.

[Machina]

I have a legal version of Doom 3, and I don't have to use the crack.

However, I like cracks simply because I hate using CDs.

So, I tested the Doom 3 crack and found out that it causes problems.

With the cracked .exe, your DoomConfig.cfg file does not get updated properly. If you set the video settings to HIGH for example - it will not! It will only change resolution, SAY THAT settings are on HIGH, BUT the acctual DommConfig.cfg will have the entry IGNORE HIGH QUALITY = 1.
There is no way to change your video settings properly unless you go back to the original .exe OR manually edit the DoomConfig.cfg file in your Doom3/base directory.

So, I think there should be a better crack coming up soon.

The cracks been available for over a week. If it was flawed like you say so, then I'm sure a proper would have come about asap. I would not listen to IRC 'whispers' that much.

Maybe your hardware just does not cut it in order to get the High Quality settings?

Not sure about whispers, but I surely know that when I use the crack - DoomConfig.cfg is NOT updating. I tested myself. When I use the original - it updates fine. Its just that LOW settings and HIGH are not THAT much of a difference. I found out by looking at textures on the marine's hands and I was like OMFG - they are very low resolution, but I am playing on HIGH, with all settings tunred up. I go in Config and see the IGNORE HIGH SETTINGS = 1. I set it to 0, re-enter the game, reset to HIGH, and then exit. DoomConfig.cfg reset IGNORE HIGH SETTINGS = 1 again!

I get the original .EXE, use it, update settings to HIGH, exit, check DoomConfig.cfg and WOAH - IGNORE HIGH SETTINGS = 0, and textures are much higher resolution!

It must be special protection against cracking that was missed.
No IRC whispers. Tested myself.

Would be great to confirm this.

I'll see what I can come up with.

Well...I do not know why it does it to me!
