Major problem with 1.08 - SOLVED


Oldjim

Recommended Posts

I updated from 1.07 to 1.08 using the updater and then deleted the fms in the Doom3 directory leaving those in the darkmod directory

I first tried running St Lucia and noted a problem with the torches - black squares moving toward me behind the torch.

I then tried old habits with the same effect.

I tried thecreeps next and received this error message - see picture

I tried the trainer and again the torch problem was there - see picture

As I am the only person having this problem what steps should I take to sort it

My system is Windows 7 64 bit, 4GB RAM, Nvidia 8800GT graphics with an old driver 197.45

 

To add

I deleted Old Habits and reinstalled it using the games downloader and I have the same problem with the torches

 

looking a bit further the tdmlauncher log contains this but I don't have a file tdmlauncher.exe just TheDarkMod.exe

Path to tdmlauncher is D:\CD Games\Doom3\darkmod\tdmlauncher.exe

Darkmod directory is D:\CD Games\Doom3\darkmod\

Darkmod directory after normalisation is D:\CD Games\Doom3\darkmod

Trying default value for engine executable: D:\CD Games\Doom3\DOOM3.exe

Found engine executable in D:\CD Games\Doom3\DOOM3.exe

Engine path after normalisation is D:\CD Games\Doom3\DOOM3.exe

Current FM is: deceptiveshadows

Using the following argument vector:

#0: +set

#1: fs_game

#2: deceptiveshadows

#3: +set

#4: fs_game_base

#5: darkmod

Starting process D:\CD Games\Doom3\DOOM3.exe +set fs_game deceptiveshadows +set fs_game_base darkmod

Closing logfile.

I was starting it using TheDarkMod.exe

Checking the updater log there are a lot of errors

Would it be best to uninstall the whole thing and start afresh

 

This is an example from the log

I suspect you only provided the beginning of the log.

 

Those aren't really errors. That's tdm_update checking checksums and file sizes to figure out which version of TDM is present. It should eventually reach the conclusion that what you had matched 1.07, and it would then have downloaded the differential file to bring you from 1.07 to 1.08.

 

The safest thing to do is to start over with a clean folder and a copy of tdm_update, and let it download a full 1.08.

Clean install and I still get the corruption above the torches on Old Habits and the Trainer

As the computer is dual boot I changed to Vista 64 bit - same result

Updated graphics driver to the latest version - same result

Changed resolution to 1024 x 768 same result

Restarted Old Habits and this time I looked backwards in the sewer and saw a lot of black squares coming out of the pipes - I assume that there is a leak of something there which is being corrupted (note picture has been lightened so they can be seen)

The black squares are missingparticles (either the definition or the texture). Can you please open the console (^ as key, left of the "1") and type "condump tdm.txt" and then post the contents of tdm.txt here? (Put them in spoiler tags please)

A problem

Starting the console needed Ctrl Alt and key left of the 1 but then typing condump tdm.txt gave the confirmation that it had been done but I can't find the file

I tried giving TheDarkMod admin rights and also disabling Kaspersky but neither helped

 

Leave it with me - something has corrupted my Doom 3 installation - will report back after I sort it

FIXED

I needed to uninstall Doom3

Then manually remove the garbage left behind

Then reinstall up to the latest patch

Not only is the problem solved but the graphics are superb by comparison - I wonder how long I have been suffering with reduced graphics quality

Jim, what are you like :P

 

In fact, I wonder how many other people have got a "dirty" install of Doom3 and that's the root cause of most of thier issues..?

That is possible as Doom3 install wasn't really designed for anything beyond XP 32 bit

I've bee running Doom3/TDM since version 1.04 on windows 7 x64. Regarding 1.08 we are seeing some teething issues, as its a different beast compared to 1.07 and previous version of TDM. We didnt have a large enough beta test group so werent able to test every scenario. But once we have a list of issue and the fixes for them I/we will put these up on the wiki.

In my case I suspect that part of the Doom 3 problem was that I wasn't installing it in the default directory as all my games and documents are on the D:drive as the C:drive partition is quite small to allow easy backups.

in the case of the documents this is also needed as I have a dual boot machine (Vista and Win 7) the dual boot is because when I upgraded to Win 7 I did it as a fresh install in case something wouldn't work - it all did but getting rid of the dual boot was more trouble than it was worth as the boot controller is on the Vista drive

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
