Need help with Doom3

[ash2dust2]

Let me guess, you havent tried to play the game without a no-cd crack.

Thanx very much E J, what program do you use to make ISOs on the computer, like you would a data project cd on roxio or something? and no im not that stupid, i did try with out the crack, it just came up with the normal, insert cd 1 error. but thanx for helping

Hi Harlex,

Don't bother! When you were installing the game, you should've been warned that, even if you will be able to install the game - according to the documentation, for the purpose of OS upgrade or dual OS boot -, you won't be able to play it.

I couldn't believe it either. I'm a big fan of Windows 98 (having Gold Edition installed, not Second Edition) but it seems it is time to have Windows XP installed; whether installed _also_ or _instead_, I leave it up to you - I chose also...

Joe

P.S.: E_J, please, note that the doom3anyos.rar patch allows you to _install_ the game under any Windows, not _play_ it! At least, the documentation says so, haven't actually tried it yet...

Thanks, Joe. I didn't bother to read the docs for that patch since I don't have the game, and the website on which I saw that patch mentioned said nothing about it being for installation only.

In any case, can't the "KERNEL.32.DLL:GlobalMemoryStatusEx" export be patched around? I know that the Kernell32.dll from Windows XP won't work on Windows 98SE (I have tried before), but it should be possible to patch around this call or to use GLobalMemoryStatus instead since that function is in Kernel32.dll in all Windows OS.

Since the thread starter just got a two week stay in the bin labeled "READ THE RULES YOU MORON", this thread is closed.

Ok, but what happens when you put the original CD (you know, the one you purchased) in the disc drive?

[Harlex]

I Think thats stupid of ID to make a game that only runs on NT Os's, but thanx for helping me out guys. You've been big help. and I didn't buy the game.

Didn't think so
