I've installed TDM 1.08 seemingly without issue.. I can select the mission, it loads.. but never starts (regardless of the mission loaded)

I have all the settings maxed out at 1920x1200

Any ideas..?

 

Thanks.

Might just be a slow mission load, how much time did you give it?

 

try opening the console and setting com_showFPS 1

 

then watch the FPS activity while the mission loads.

 

 

Does any error pop-up at the end of the load?

 

Also, make sure that you've disabled Threading Optimizations in your nVidia driver settings.

 

As I recall, some folks were having problems with SLI setups. Have you tried disabling SLI?

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

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

same problem, i tryed with the tuto and first mission, nothing but the "wait loading" message and nice picture of the level. It just stops.

Doom 3 could run well at max setting though. and now that TDM is installed, the game does not start and chrashes the same way. Only the menus are working.

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to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.

      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 )
