Well,I have downloaded a patch and tried to make it fully work by hex-editing.What a surprise game did not started!If anyone do not find any way how to make a workaround do not patch game.Very sad news.

Hi guys,

Just a reminder: Similarly to the Windows 98/ME compatibility patch for version 1.0 of DOOM 3, the Win98/ME patch for v1.1 needs to be applied to Reloaded's no-CD executable (of the same version) which you can also find on GCW! Happy gaming,

Joe

Hi, i have the original cd of doom3 and downloaded the 1.1 patch and used the no-CD executabl i downloaded on GCW on a win xp and on win98se, it worked great on win xp, but cant get it to work on win98se. i also tried to hex edit on 1.0 and it work, but it wont work on the 1.1. i also downloaded the Doom3.MSI file, but its looking for a setup file. could anyone help me out on how to get it(no-cd on win98se) working on doom3 1.1. tnx.

Pls. Disregard my previous post, i just recheck the GCW and found that there are 2 version on the win98se patch, hehe, sorry, didnt noticed it earlier. but i still would like to know how to get the doom3.msi to work. tnx.

Isn't there a patch hosted @ gamecopy world?

The patch is there but I'm not sure if it will help in regard to the type of graphics card. I use a 1gig processor and a tnt2 32 meg card on this pc and it wont run on on this one. I also only have 128 mg ram so that may also cause alot of the problem.

Thats why I had to build a new pc. Now the new one has no issues other than when a bunch of enemies come on the screen at once. As soon as more than 3 enemies come on it boggs a little but i do remember the old doom2 game doing the same on my older pc in the past.

i have tried the win98se patch,and later on in the installation,it stops,and wont install,that is with the msi patch.i would like to try the changing of the api,with the 00 00 numbers,but i dont know how to do it with the hex editor hiew_686.
if anyone would give me some pointers how to do it,i would be very grateful.thanks.

well i have gone into the hex editor thing,and have managed to change the numbers (probably with sheer luck),and guess what.doom3 now works on my win98se.
doom3 also runs much smoother in my win98se than in my winxp.
also it runs very quick,and much clearer lighting. thanks to EJ for the tip to this problem.
also to rincethewis for allowing EJ to put it on the site.
