[A Taffer in the machine?]

Hi all,

 

Decided to do a clean install of Doom3, the required Doom3 patch and The Dark Mod and.......Result! Working! can't express how excited I was when the training mission successfully loaded, sitting there in front of the monitor bouncing up and down on my stool clapping Yes! Yes! Yes!, Now I know getting that excited over a game might give the impression that I live somewhat sad existence and that maybe I should try to get out more and find a young lady friend or something but I do already have a lady friend...honest I do! It's just the Thief series is a guilty pleasure of mine, I'm no hardcore gamer but Thief games I never got bored with a now with The Dark Mod the cogs and gears of Garrett's universe have moved on to a new chapter...Hurrah!

 

I just want to give all of you who replied and left me advice my thanks and appreciation. I would like to also take this opportunity to say a big thank-you to the team who developed The Dark Mod and of course all those mission creators too for making such awesome game conversion, I've had people over to take a butchers at The Dark Mod and they have all been overwhelmed by the quality and the attention to detail in the game which directly refects the hard work and effort you have all put into it. Thank-you

Okay I checked the box that says "Disable Catalyst AI" and Doom 3 loads and plays without any problems

 

The TDM menu screen loads fine but as soon after I start a mission whilst loading the game still crashes....Really frustrated every time TDM menu loads just looking at it you can see the the time and love put into this project I get all excited can't wait to play its looks so so good.

Hey nbohr1more,

thanks for taking the time to reply

 

 

Have you disabled Catalyst AI?

 

Catalyst is installed (standard), just checked it again and and am right(I'm such a noob at this ) in thinking that provided that the box that says is disable Catalyst AI is unchecked then Catalyst AI is enabled?

 

Do you have ROE installed?

 

nbohr1more, is this in regard to The Ressurrection of Evil - Patch? if it is I can't find any evidence to suggest this patch has been installed anywhere in my Doom folders, to be honest I wouldn't even know where to go to download that patch, I've never played Doom 3, I purely brought the game to be able to play The Dark Mod.

 

Are there any other mods in your Doom 3\base folder?

 

Aside from maps folder (Mars City1), and a number of pk4, cfg and spec files nothing else hiding in that folder

 

Re-run your TDM Updater then

 

I deleted the file tdm_game02.pk4 and started the updater again in order to redownload it after reading forum member i30817's suggestion in TDM 1.05 new install crashes thread but I will try running the updater again.

 

verify that these settings are correct in your DoomConfig.cfg

 

All these codes and settings are correct in the DoomConfig.cfg

 

seta image_usePrecompressedTextures "1" 

seta image_useNormalCompression "2" 

seta image_useAllFormats "1" 

seta image_useCompression "1" 

seta image_preload "1"

 

 

Thanks again,

Hi there,

 

Can't express how excited I am about The Dark Mod...it looks truly outstanding!

 

I was hoping I could some advice on what I might be doing wrong

 

whilst the training mission was loading, the game crashed and this popped up:

 

 

I have attached copied full error message to this post Full Error Message.txt

 

I have Radeon x1300/x1500 Series , DirectX 9.0c, 2048mb RAM, Windows XP Professional running. 1.05

 

Installed The Dark Mod 1.05 over Doom 3 patch 1.3.1.1304.

 

 

 

Thanks for taking the time to read my post, any advice would be appreciated

 

P.S. apologies if I have posted this in the wrong part of the forum or that this problem has already been reported elsewhere in this forum, I did try to look for a solution before posting
