You'll prob have to turn down the settings.

On another subject, heres what you have to do to play on an cracked online server:

Browse to:
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file, and add a line:
127.0.0.1 idnet.ua-corp.com

You can but only on cracked servers. You wont be able to see any games when you go to the multi-player option, you will need the ip address of the person(s) you want to play with. If you want to still play online heres how:

Do what it says in my last post.
Start up Doom 3
Go to MP
Type in IP address of the person hosting the game
Wait for it to connect

~~Doom 3 Tweaks~~

Open ; C:\Program Files\Doom 3\base\DoomConfig.cfg
Add ; seta com_showFPS "1" (shows fps at all times)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Change seta g_nightmare "0" to seta g_nightmare "1"

Unlocks Nightmare mode

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

seta image_downSizeLimit "256"
seta image_ignoreHighQuality "0"
seta image_downSizeBumpLimit "256"
seta image_cacheMegs "100"

Ive heard setting 256 - 1024 increases texture quality

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

open console:
timedemo demo1.demo

this will do a benchmark

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can brighten the game up by typing "r_gamma X" in the console, where the X is a # between 0 and 3. 3 Being highest

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To open console:
(US keyboard) Ctrl + Alt + ~
(EUR keyboard) Ctrl + Alt + ¬

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Show FPS:
com_showfps 1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cracking multiplayer for clients go to:
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file, and add a line:
127.0.0.1 idnet.ua-corp.com

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

seta g_showPlayerShadow "0" - player shadows off
seta g_showPlayerShadow "1" - player shadows on

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Third person:
bind "p" "toggle pm_thirdperson"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-nostartup in the command line will skip the id-logo movie

For example [ "C:\....\Doom 3\doom3.exe" -nostartup ]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To apply changes while still in game type this in console:
vid_restart

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Add Hit Percentage to HUD:
seta g_showProjectilePct 1

How can you get 70 FPS when the game is capped at 60?

ya? is there a way to uncap it or something? i used some tweaks without losing visual/graphical quality. now no matter what i&#39;m up against (even 5 guys) or if i&#39;m in a very detailed place, my fps never drop below 55 fps, and during everything else it&#39;s always 59 and 60 (and i&#39;ve even seen it go as high as 62 but drop quickly back down to 60). anyway i can uncap it from 60 and say, set it to 70 or maybe even 80?


here&#39;s a tweak that really helped:

In your DOOM 3 directory, find "DoomConfig.cfg" (Doom 3&#092;base). Open DoomConfig.cfg in Notepad or Wordpad or watever you use.

Find the line: (use the find function, much much faster)

seta image_cacheMegs "X" (X is either 32 or 20, depends on what machine you have)

I changed mine from 32 to 256. FPS went through the roof&#33; I was gettin 40 max, and now it&#39;s 60 constantly (avg). I upped it to "512" and that&#39;s when i noticed it go to 62 FPS, and i&#39;m sure it can go higher if i knew how to uncap it. replace "32" or "20" to half of your total ram for best results but remember, "experiment" cuz wat works for me might not necesserally work for as good for you. more tweaks to come.

would doom 3 run nice and smooth on high/med settings on this system?
