  1. Thanks for that , I look forward to seeing the end of the mission !
  2. Just watched parts 2 and 3 of your mission on You tube demagogue .Very good , and nice to be able to see what would have happened if I could have got that far ! Seems to me that You Tube is an excellent way of doing a walk through of a mission. Would love to know your computer specs as the mission seems to play so well on it.
  3. Just watched it , great stuff. Look forward to the next three parts especially as I couldn't complete it due to freezes. Loved the way your computer ran it soooooo smoothly !
  4. Well thanks for that and all your efforts on this super little mission. I'll check out YouTube with interest ! Maybe I'll be able to play it right through in the future ( crosses his fingers ! )
  5. Thanks for any help you've given me on this one folks. I've reluctantly come to the conclusion that this mission is patently dangerous , for my computer ! I've tried my hardest but all I ever get with this mission in spite of carrying out faithfully the suggestions made above are freeze after freeze interspersed with crashes. However , every other mission including the latest , Thieves , plays perfectly on my computer , so rather than continuing to change my settings for this mission alone I am going to call a halt with it. Maybe , I'll be able to get it to play properly in the future. It did look good though and I struggled to getting on Harlan's roof but believe me that was a struggle given the above constraints! Maybe it will be revamped sometime with some of the obvious glitches ironed out? Thanks again.
  6. If you mean the Fixed DLL (windows only ) pk4 file , yes I have with no result. I meant that the it was the PF usage according to Task Manager that was 1.35 gb ( mentioned in my last post).
  7. Tried the mission again today.Graphics started to jerk then freeze.Checked it out with Task Manager and found that Doom 3 was using 330000 k of ram with 95% cpu use. Although my computer has 1536 mb ram a total of 1.4 gb was being used according to TM . I had to turn Dark Mod off via TM because usuage was staying between 320000 and 335000 k of ram. Is this normal? It seems to be some sort of memory problem rather than the graphics card itself.
  8. Yes , all worked o.k without any jerkiness , halting , crashes. I've tried all sorts of things to make Patently Dangerous work as they did , even trying to run it in a small window and with the graphics reduced to a minimum , no joy. I won't give up easily though , that mission looks well worth playing , just may have to wait a bit !
  9. Hi ! It's a Radeon 9550. Pretty basic i know but for Dark Mod i've set it to basic levels.It also works well with Doom3.
  10. Thanks for your prompt reply and help. Yes , I have tried on easy level , no joy. Still trying to find the malloc temp file. As I said I'm not that great on computers , but I'll persevere when I find time. I have 1536 mb ram on board so guess this should be enough?
  11. Sadly , whilst commending Demagogue for a seemingly excellent mission , I'm afraid I've reluctantly decided to give it a miss for now. I managed to run the other ( smaller ) missions available successfully and had a lot of fun with them without any problems at all.But I have had nothing but problems with this one , slowing down , crashing etc. I only seem able to play it for a few minutes before it crashes with some runtime error or other , very frustrating. This malloc error thing. Being a complete dweebe with computers , can someone show me the easiest way to find the files to delete? Is it safe to do so? Maybe best to stay away from this mission until the problems are worked out?
  12. Thanks for the quick replies folks , will try out your suggestions. I accept that the Radeon is a ( very ) budget card. It's been o.k for me though up until now and can't be bothered to revamp my system at the moment so will juggle with the resolution as you say.
  13. I'm playing the mission Patently Dangerous at the moment . I've been experiencing a sluggish rate of play with this mission , for example , when I try to run as opposed to walking the game freezes and I have to turn off the computer to exit . The graphics also freeze for a few seconds when say drawing an arrow ready to shoot etc. Don't know whether this helps but my Doom 3 setting are :- Video medium quality ( although I can set this to high without problems ) 640-680 screen size Full screen yes Doom itself runs perfectly o.k Dark Mod settings :- aspect ratio 16.9 screen 1920 x 1080 full screen yes vertical sync no antializing off texture 2 x ambient standard interaction shade standard bloom off my computer is 1996 mhz with 1536 mb ram Radeon 9550 Can some kind person please let me know how I can ( if indeed I can ) tweak the above settings to ensure a less sluggish game. As I say, Doom itself seems to run o.k so it may be one of the settings. Thanks in anticipation !
  14. Many thanks , didn't like to sound so down about it , just that I' ve tried just about everything I know. When I get the time I'll do as you say and reinstall and let you know how I got on. Don't like to give up.
  15. Now tried the latest patch - no go. Did so want to play the latest Thief on DM ! Will now have to give up on the whole thing , I've spent so much time trying to get it to work ( five or six hours ) and ended up completely frustrated. back to regular Thief I guess. Thank you everyone for trying to help and enjoy your new missions. Regards , gold1
  16. Oh. I honestly thought it was. I tried the ctrl + alt + tilde keys to ascertain this but nothing came up. Will check again. Would failure to update result in such a message? Many thanks.
  17. However , this solves that particular problem but I now get the opening page/ splash briefly before it disappears ( to a grey screen ) with the following message ' The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way' Can anyone help please? thank you in advance.
  18. Many thanks for both quick replies which explains matters for me.
