Doom 3 CD key problem

Hello there. I installed TDM, applied patch and it wont start mission. Game is asking me for DOOM 3 CD key. I understand this game is using doom 3 engine but it is free, is it? I bought my doom 3 seven years ago and it never asked me cd key till now. I dug all my house upside down but i just cant find CD case. Can this be bypassed somehow?

If you try to play normal Doom 3, does it ask you for the CD key? If it doesn't ask for one, the CD key is still saved on your hard drive and if you lost the case, you should write it down ASAP because hard drives can fail at any time. That said, if your HDD fails, you probably have bigger problems than not being able to play TDM. :)

 

Anyway, the CD key is usually stored in your doom 3/base directory in a file named DoomKey. I would write the contents of that down so you don't lose it. I don't know if the base directory where this is stored is the main doom3 directory, or the one for the local user on Windows because I haven't used the Windows version of the game in forever. Hopefully I didn't just confuse you with that last bit.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
