[How to Run TDM with Steam?]

Is anyone else experiencing major problems trying to run TDM under Steam (as in, bought Doom 3 from Steam and thus has to run it through the Steam UI) or Windows 7 x64 (RTM build)?

 

 

 

 

Firstly, tdmlauncher.exe doesn't launch The Dark Mod. Instead it launches vanilla Doom 3 and I had to use the +set fs_game command line in order to load the mod at start. Okay, no big deal.

 

 

 

 

However, no matter what I do both the training mission and Chalice of the Kings crash upon loading. The loading bar reaches 100%, the "please wait" text appears and after a minute or two the game crashes and Windows throws up the generic "the program has stopped working" dialogue. Curiously enough, Crown of Penitence works without a hitch and Outpost sort of works too. I say sort of because the mission runs at avg two frames per second (this is on a 3.2GHz Core 2 Duo and a HD4870). Trying to run the mod under Windows XP or Vista compatibility mode does nothing. I also played Tears of St. Lucia without any problems with the very same setup.

 

 

 

 

It's majorly frustrating because judging by the Crown of Penitence the mod is extremely well done and a proper spiritual successor to Thief.

 

 

 

 

I cant even get into the game. Whenever I launch the .exe I get a C++ Runtime Library error. At least you get to see the greatness of the title screen.

Just about how easy do you think it is to implement ingame voices of your own in The Dark Mod?  The easier it is the easier it will be to make progress on a storyline.
