from what i saw its fucking HUGE! i dont recall if it was the original noise (was too busy spanking it) but you shouldnt be disappointed. i wonder if the spider/brain things are in it.

my only complaint is the weapons seem "tinny" and really weak sounding and feeling so far :(

Once when I loaded the game all the reflective highlights were green, but a reboot fixed that. Aside from that no glitches here.

Can you even pause the game? When you bring up your PDA, the game world doesn't pause. You can still get jumped by demons.

Theif- What ATI card do you have? And for fellow ATIers, the beta for the catalyst 4.9 drivers (with specific Doom 3 optimization) was released today. I got em (along with Direct X 9c) and I think it made a positive difference for me.

Ooo! Thanks, I'll go check that out now.

If you go into the DoomConfig.cfg file, you'll find a line that says

seta image_cacheMegs "20"

Change "20" to a higher number (96, 128, 256, whatever) for a big framerate boost.

It noticed it. When I tried to boot the game, it gave me an error that it had noticed CD/DVD emulation software, and it didn't work until i uninstalled Alcohol.

Those new drivers are awesome, my framerate has skyrocketed to a perfect level and has yet to dip more then 5fps (which is only when first encountering certain types of areas, combat is flawless)! Oh thank you, ATi!

Very nice, time to check that too and maybe I can even up the resolution. Is this cache using RAM, the page file, or video RAM?

Piku sent me a link to the 4.9 drivers. I love him. It runs much better now.

9600 SE 128. Tain has my GeForce 4 that for some reason is glitchy only when it comes to online games... I have no clue what the hell is wrong with it.

I am not into the whole Doom franchise thing, but apparently Sl1p is enjoying it tremendously.

P.S. You all just missed me screaming like a little girl. I looked into a small darkened hideaway and noticed the red glow of armor shards so I started to walk the couple feet over to grab them, not seeing that a couple of glows weren't armor shards but eyes. One of those two-headed beasties leapt out of the darkness into my face as I shrieked in terror. After pausing the game and regaining my composure I emptied a clip into the little fucking bastard.

Once again, this game is incredible. Although I have a feeling the now-typical-while-never-more-then-annoying FPS small critter will get on my nerves soon enough. I'm really getting sick of dealing with tiny, pesky alien creatures. They sucked in HL, they sucked in Breakdown, they sucked in Halo, I'm pretty sure they're going to suck in Doom III, they always suck. Well, they were alright in Metroid Prime but that's because lock-on made them a non-issue.
