TDM and D3 refuse to launch

Hi everyone,

I've seen some footage of The Dark Mod and being a huge fan of Thief decided to give it a try. I installed Doom 3 and as per instructions I patched it to the latest version. I did all the things necessary, the darkmod directory and downloading the latest version of the mod. But when it finished and I tried launching the mod I get an an annoying error message(screenshot attached).

I tried compatibility mode, running as administrator etc. but still nothing. Funny thing is that it's only Doom 3 and TDM that give me this message, all other games work fine.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and I've heard that Doom 3 has problems with 7 and Vista maybe my problem is related.

Can anyone help me out?

I'm running Doom3 fine on Win7 64-bit.

You should probably: do a forum search for crashes or a google search for "Dark Mod" and crash. It's very likely someone else has had your kind of crash before too. And (if you still don't find a solution) give your system & graphics card details.

 

Here's what I dug up on a quick search:

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

I tried searching for posts with similar issues but couldn't find anything.

Here are my specs:

AMD FX 4100 ~3.6Ghz

16GB RAM

1GB GeForce 560Ti

 

My DirectX is version 11

I've ran the update several times after the initial download and even patched Doom 3 multiple times to make sure

What do you mean by patching D3 multiple times? That sounds like a possible source of error.

 

You followed these instructions in installation?

I mean after Doom 3 finished installation I ran patch 1.3.1 setup and after it showed me that error message I rant it again just to make sure it wasn't an incomplete update. And yes I followed those instructions.

      Has anyone had any luck with textures from Polyhaven? Their OpenEXR normal maps seem too washed out and give incorrect shading in the engine.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.
