Doom 3 troubles :(


Moon Hoplite

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I know that I've posted a few technical help questions on this forum about this before, but I really need some help.

My doom3 copy is very "bugged".

 

My Doom 3 is THE CORRECT 1.3.1 (BTW).

 

Firstly.

 

There is a doom 3 bug where corpses which are gibbed dissapear (as normal ). Then Reappear for a few seconds headless then dissapear.

 

Secondly,

 

Using most mods causes the crosshair to be positioned incorrectly. The bullet always hits the lower right of the crosshair.

 

I use an ATI mobility 5730 card windows 7 x64 bit, for references. ATI CCC 10.7

 

Is this due to my faulty doom 3 CD?

 

I've heard some people have this issue on the steam forums too.

 

Thanks.

Make sure Catalyst AI is turned off.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Other Doom 3 "Bloom" mods:

 

Dafama2k7 created a "bloom" glprogs that is more friendly for Doom 3 mods and ATI cards:

Below is the D3W thread where I got that link:

Also, you could try taking the glprogs folder from the "Ruiner" mod pak666.pk4 file and placing it in the mod specific directory. (Eg: C:\Doom3\dentonmod202\glprogs )

Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod:

(Yeah, shameless promotion... but traffic is traffic folks...)

You cant disable powerplay, and at worst it wouldnt cause something like this. The flashing models sounds like you've got some old files flying around, I'd search for 'gamex86.dll' and delete them all (the correct ones will hopefully be fetched from the pk4's). But I'd recommend just reinstalling, making sure you're using the correct patches and then trying to add each mod and check things are correct.

Ok, how do I know if my CD isnt corrupt? The installation runs fine. Thus files should be too?

 

Maybe it's my ATI mobility + windows 7 combo? Or outdated opengl/system files? Or ATI tray tools screwing something up? Or my radeon pro? My modded CCC drivers? How to turn off powerplay?

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
