DooM III

[CoryPenwell]

I got the doom 3 game off of suprnova. Me and my friend installed it on his computer to see what it was like, but it would still skip even on the lowest settings. He has a 999mhz processor, a nvidea g-force mx420 64mb graphics card, and 896mb. I installed the same game on my computer. I have a 1.8 ghz pentium 4, a nvidea g-force fx 128mb graphics card and 640 mb of ram, and it still skips the same as on his. I was wondering if maybe it could be something wrong with the game and maybe i need some kind of patch or something. does anyone know if something could be wrong or is it just my computer . i am up a little ways over the minimum system requirements. i just dont see what could be wrong.

Try defragging your harddrive.

sounds like the game is having alot of problems, but its still cool

it's not the game, it runs pretty much flawlessly on my craptacular computer at 60fps avg, iD did a magnificant job optimizing the hell out of this game. it's either ur cooling or windows error (ctrl alt delete, and see wat the cpu usage % is when idle and when running doom3, if it's at 80+% during idle wit no programs running, u got ur self a svchost.exe problem)

Next tome you upload anything to Suprnova put [www.filesharingtalk.com] in it, like people do with ED2k links .

The required settings are so funny. I'd love to see this game run at ALL on an 8500 with a 1500XP haha

The mods sound cool....do you just download them and then on the main screen go to mods and they will be there or what?

each mod comes in a rar file which contains a txt file telling you where to put the mod file, as far as I can tell you need to pick the ones you want e.g you can&#39;t have the flashlight mods for both the machine gun and ythe pistool at the same time as, well in my case, they are the same file name.

Each one has its own read-me file. However its just extract each mod into the Doom 3 main dir and go to mods yeah.
