Posted August 5, 200420 yr First If you Have An ATI Card Download The DOOM Drivers. ATI DOOM3 Drivers (4.9 catalyst) Secondly read this : There is a boost, but don't expect miracles. With that said, give this a read: As all of you who allready have this game recognized the game is very slow even on new Computers. I found out the reason for this and the solution to fix this problem. As you already know after installation the game consits only of the doom3.exe and some .PK4 files. Those PK4 files includes the entire game (sounds, videos, textures etc.) in high compressed form. Normally those files were decompresse during the game. But this exactly is the problem. Even new CPUs are not able to decompress those files while running the game with good peformance and therfore the game runs very **** also on new computers. I don't know if the develpers of ID-Soft was just too stupid to think about this or if they have an agreement with some hardware manufacturing firms. How to get around this problem: It is very simple. Go to your Doom 3 installation directoy and get inside the folder "Base". There are some .PK4 files you have to open each of them with WinRAR 3.3 and extract their entire contents to the Base dir in you Doom 3 installation folder (replace all files if they are any duplicates). Now you have to delete all .PK4 files in the Base folder to prevent the game to use those compressed files agian. Now the game starts and runs mutch faster!!! Have fun playing Doom 3!!! It gives you a performance boost and improves some load times. Next , Visit [H]ardOcp [H]ard|Ocp and read their guide and suggestions for settings Doom3 should be played at. They tested mutiple configurations and seem to be right on par with alot of their tips. Then Lastly Us Being myg0t and all here are some single player Cheats for raging the computer Bring the console up with Ctrl + ALt + ~ and type the following codes in to blow the monsters back to hell:) aviDemo = Saves a demo of your playing to an AVI movie file benchmark = Game Benchmark doomhell = Skip all levels to last freeze = Freeze all on screen gfxinfo = Graphicscard infomation god = God mode noclip = No Clip notarget = Invisibility to most enemies com_drawfps 1 = Show FPS give all = Full load of weapons and ammo give doom95 = Load the '95 version of Doom give keys = Acquire all the keys you'll ever need give weapon_machinegun = Machinegun give weapon_shotgun = Shotgun give weapon_plasmagun = Plasmagun give weapon_bfg = BFG give weapon_chainsaw = Chainsaw give weapon_rocketlauncher = Rocket Launcher status = Your game status quit = Quid aka Exit Below is the rest of the codes. At the moment we don't have time to find out what they're all good for. Play around with them yourselves!! _use _moveRight _moveLeft _moveDown _forward _back _right _left _lookDown _lookUp _attack _moveUp _speed _strafe _button7 _button6 _button5 _button4 _button3 _button2 _button1 _button0 aasStats addarrow addline blinkline bindlist bind centerview compressDemo connect clearlights conDump clear cvar_restart cvarlist combineCubeImages crash collisionModelInfo dirtyfeet dir demoShot disconnect dmap echo envshot exec exportmodels editSounds editLight editor error fillrate flashlight focusSoundsEditor give game_memory in_restart kill killRagdolls killMoveables killMonsters keepTestModel listModels listSkins listMaterials listImages listModes listLightDefs listEntityDefs listMonsters listEntities listThreads listSounds listAnims listCollisionModels listlines listVertexCache map modulateLights noclip notarget nextanim overlayGUI path poplight parsewait printShader printMode playDemo playCmdDemo playerModel prevanim reload reloadSounds reloadSoundShaders reloadFx reloadanims reexportmodels removeline runReach runAAS recordCmdDemo recordDemo recordCmdDemo recordDemo renderbumpFlat renderbump roq reloadGuis reset regenerateWorld reloadImages reloadShaders reloadModels script reloadEntityDefs s_musictrack s_cacheInvalidate s_cacheInfo s_restart seta set spawn setviewpos setStepGamma setu sets sizeDown sizeUp screenshot spawnServer stopRecording say testTrace testImage testShader testBump testLight touchFx touchGui touchFile toggle testSIMD touchMaterial testFx touchSound listSoundShaders touchParticle testDamage testblend testanim testParticle testModel testWipe testGUI timeDemo testmap touchSkin touchModel unbind unbindall vid_restart vstr writeConfig writePrecache weapon weapnext where weapprev weaponSplat NOW GO TO HELL!!!!
August 5, 200420 yr But what about asking smarter child stupid questions on aim? shouldnt that suffice for some form of rage
August 5, 200420 yr it was a joke you dumb shit. and tica, i appreciate your fps boostng guides for newer games. i'll post here if that brings me any fps, but i doubt that. i think it will only shorten your loading times.
August 5, 200420 yr if you want shorter loading times get more RAM. Most people have 512 and more these days so that amounts to loading times shorter than 30 seconds which is very bearable. If you have 256 RAM then play with low settings, it should eliminate long loads and stuttering.
August 5, 200420 yr some people are saying that if you edit the file: C:\Program Files\Doom 3\base\doomconfig.cfg and change: seta image_cacheMegs "128" seta image_useCache "1" seta image_cacheMinK "20480" you will get a smooter single player game with less choppiness when going into new areas, i cannot confirm this, but its wortha try
August 5, 200420 yr d0wn']some people are saying that if you edit the file: C:\Program Files\Doom 3\base\doomconfig.cfg and change: seta image_cacheMegs "128" seta image_useCache "1" seta image_cacheMinK "20480" you will get a smooter single player game with less choppiness when going into new areas, i cannot confirm this, but its wortha try image_cachemesg "96" or whatever u want helps a LOT... by default mine was set to "20" wtf??? but when i turn use_cache "1" the shit crashes... go figure.
August 5, 200420 yr Author I notice no difference with seta image_usecache "1" or "0" so I left it on default "0" but the others do make entering a new area less " Hitchy " nice find :3some:
August 5, 200420 yr Sorry i'm offtopic but i find a link with some mods for Doom3 ( try the Ultra Extreme Quality Mod for kick your Fps :) ) http://www.gamershell.com/news/14535.html have fun :grin2:
August 6, 200420 yr they use pk4 file format to cut game files down from 1gig plus to around 400 megs keeps all the game files in one big file nice compressed file to save disk space
