Problems updating Doom 3 and running the dark mod

[Stalchild]

Hey guys, I've been trying to solve this problem on my own forever now, and I realize that google isn't getting me anywhere.

 

 

Ok, so I installed doom 3, play it while TDM downloads, and then install the dark mod, and then I get a runtime error on startup for TDM. I google, and I realized I need to be patched, so I download that latest patch, then the updater tells me that it doesn't know which version of Doom 3 i have, but somehow I can still choose a filepath for the updater, so I choose it, update it, and then doom 3 starts up after the updater closes. That's when It crashes, and I get some console looking window with a blue background, this is what it says:

wrong game DLL API version

 

 

So I google some more, and one way or another I read I need a no cd-patch. so i download it, and install it, nothing changes..

 

So now I do a fresh install of everything, and I even change file paths, like that would matter. And I mess around a while and mess with different fixes, and nothing changes.

 

So I visit the forums, check out the FAQ, and I read where I need to have version 1.3.1.1304.

 

So I make a fresh install of Doom 3 again, and I check out the version number in-game (Doom 3 works until I patch it) and it is 1.3.1.1302.

So before I patch it, I try a fresh install of TDM AGAIN. and now it runs vanilla Doom 3. like the application was just doom 3 with a different icon and filename.

 

I patch the game. and now I get the same exact console thing again.. the Wrong game DLL API Version one.

 

 

So I guess my main question here is, what do I do to get this game to patch?

 

pre-patch : Doom 3 runs fine, TDM gets a runtime error

Post-patch : Doom 3 crashes and I get an error log or something, and TDM starts up Doom 3, which crashes as well.

 

It loads up fine, and right when the initial loading is done (right before the main menu) bam. crash.

 

 

 

I hate to have my first post be a problem, but I don't know where else to go. I appreciate the help guys.

wrong game DLL API version

 

This makes me believe that The Dark Mod is either not installed so you've got "..\Doom 3\darkmod\tdm_launcher.exe" or you've got another doom 3 mod meshed into your D3 base somehow.

I have no other mods, Doom 3 is a completely fresh install, I have never even owned Doom 3 before today.

 

 

And the complete filepath is

 

C:\Users\Claude\Downloads\[PC Game] DOOM 3 (Extract and Play)\Doom 3\The Dark Mod\tdmlauncher.exe

 

 

From what I gathered from the download page for TDM that's how it ought to go, I've also tried the default installation filepath for Doom 3 (I doubt that the file path really matters anyways) and just making a folder in my documents.

[New Horizon]

It's right there in the first line of the console dump.

 

DOOM 1.3.1302

 

It should be 1.3.1304

 

Id software released two 1.3 updates...they should really have named it something else as this causes problems all the time.

 

We should have the correct links on this page.

Well that's the problem.. I think you missed a part of my post

 

"So I make a fresh install of Doom 3 again, and I check out the version number in-game (Doom 3 works until I patch it) and it is 1.3.1.1302.

The issue is getting Doom 3 to patch to 1402. Once I patch it, it crashes. Which is weird. because post-patch, I crash and the log says that I am 1.3.1.1302.

 

If I am still 1.3.1.1302, what did the updater change to make me crash I wonder?

 

[New Horizon]

I read your post, but you asked the question....'where do I get this patch'...so I posted our wiki link which should have the correct patch.

 

Don't use any other patch after you install Doom 3, just download the correct patch from the links on our wiki and patch with that one.

When I said " I don't know where else to go" I wasn't referring to a download link or anything, just somewhere for help in general.

 

That's what I did. I uninstalled everything after the first failed attempt, and then reinstalled everything again, including TDM, and then I went straight to the wiki page, and downloaded the patch, and then that's when TDM started running Doom 3, which crashed shortly after startup.

 

 

Is it possible for me to unzip the contents of the patch and manually install them in the directories they belong in?

[Stalchild]

Hmm.. It seems everyone is just as stumped as I am.. Oh well.. On to other games.

[New Horizon]

Very weird. I responded to your inquiry about unzipping but it didn't post.

 

Anyway, I don't think that would work very well.

 

The 1.3 patch is notoriously difficult to install sometimes. It has to do with the way id software made the installer, it puts the wrong installation path in automatically...so you have to be really careful when you use it.

 

I think it has to be typed in manually. So if your doom 3 game is installed in c:games/doom3, I think you have to type c:/games or something like that...because if you type c:/games/doom3, it will end up installing an extra folder like c:/games/doom3/doom3.

 

Don't ask me why they did it this way...they just did.

 

As for everyone being just as stumped as you, well...you'll need to give other team members more than two hours to respond. We're all in different time zones around the world, with families and jobs...we don't get paid to sit here all day. Give them at least 12 to 15 hours to respond...not everyone is going to be able to see your post within two hours of posting. Patience, please. There is obviously something going wrong with the patching process.

 

I would also suggest 'not' installing Doom 3 into such a long and convoluted folder structure. It is recommended to install doom 3 to something very simple like c:\games\doom3 with absolutely no spaces.

[aidakeeley]

Yeah it has been an hour...

 

And after all, you've "been trying to solve this problem on my own forever now"

 

 

I wonder though, how you've been trying to solve this forever and yet "I have never even owned Doom 3 before today."

 

Also?

 

I wonder if the "%20DOOM%203%20%28Extract%20and%20Play&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a"]...Downloads\[PC Game] DOOM 3 (Extract and Play)..." part of your messages has a hint as to why things are going awry?

That part may be a definite. And 5 or 6 hours is forever, when it's the only thing you are doing.

 

I have a legit copy of Doom 3 now, and it seems the problem is fixed.

 

I'm not sure what was wrong before but the patch has installed correctly now, and everything is go, now TDM is installing. IF it doesn't work this time, I'll wait for thief 4 for a while..

 

Thanks guys, sorry for the impatience.

[Stalchild]

Nice, now TDM loads up fine, no errors at all, but instead of actually running TDM, it runs Doom 3, which doesn't really work, the taskbar is visible, and the screen blinks white on and off..

 

But Doom 3 works fine If I go ahead and run it through Doom3.exe

 

 

Any help?

So if you run TDM Launcher from the dark mod folder, it runs doom 3?

[Mortem Desino]

The problem is the name of your dark mod folder. It must be named "darkmod". There are a few stray bits of tdm code that reference that name specifically.

Ok yep, that was it right there. I noticed it was making a separate folder called "darkmod" and I was wondering why it wasn't in TDM's directory..

 

The game is working, and I have played the training mission for about a minute, so it works.

 

I declare my issue resolved.

 

 

Thank you, denizens of TDM's forums..

 

 

Nah, I don't really talk like that.

Hehe, the first four minutes are awesome!! Not that I would want to make fun of you, but you come along with a pretty funny attitude.

 

Anyway, maybe you should make a security copy of your Doom 3 disc. It seems to be in a bad shape.

[LEGION]

Yeah, right! I had very much fun watching this Videos while waiting for NHAT-campaign release. This videos are very helpful, indeed, because there went everything wrong what could´ve been, almost. Beginning with Autoplay. But this must be some slow machine, and this keybord, my goodness.

 

But I was very glad to see tutorials for DarkRadiant, I will surely follow them. Thanks a lot Komag!
