Doom 3 requirements problem

[Gryph]

Non essential processes would normally be stuff that's opened by your user name (as in not System, Local or Network Service)

well i tested the game on my dual p3 1ghz with 1280mb of sd-ram and gf4 440 mx card (crappy) and it played bad even on low settings

I did a defrag, turned off some processes, and went from playing it on low quality and 800 X whatever resolution to being able to play it on high setting on a low resolution doesnt sound right with such a big jump, but i guess a defrag really does speed up your computer.

I could be wrong, but it's probably not designed to take advantage of dual processors, so you're essentially running it on a P3 1GHz with a low-end video card and a dumptruck full of RAM.

[Prican25]

yes you're right. the only game i can think that actually had support for dual processors was quake 3 which was by luck hehe but even that game didn't look as pretty as it should with this crappy card but at least it didnt act choppy as doom 3 did for me

Carmack said that the Dual CPU thing is just plain bad because it requires 2 types of code to go in and out, sure, their's "H.T."(referring to Intel's Hyper Threading and AMD's Hyper Trasnport) technology out, but that runs on SLI then the much different Dual CPU's code.

Quake 3 wasn't that great on Dual CPU IMO.

If you are running with Ultra Quality then I MIGHT be able to play it somewhat decently. I'll probably have like a 10 fps difference though...

Ultra Quality = Bad for MP.

I won't be playing MP till some mods come out. Have you tried out the Duct tape mod yet? I haven't yet.

I tried it. it's pretty good But I think I am gonna try other flashlight mods. the light in the ducttape mod covers a smaller area and seems a bit brighter then the default flashlight.

[Gryph]

Do you have links to the other flash light mods?

I seen them at planetdoom but I don't have a fileplanet account. so I am looking for other places they are posted.

Hey, have any of you tried the CO-OP, 32 Player server, Ultra Extreme Quality, Gore, Rocket DM, Fightclub, Chainsaw Only MOD pack? I have it if any of you are interested. It's about 1.6 mb.

 

I haven't been able to use it since my processor isn't in yet... flockers.

 

But I found this pic in the the Mod pack zip file, it shows the difference between Ultra Quality and Ultra Extreme quality.

What I say about the mod pack:

Co-op mode: Buggy as hell, we only got it working once. Every other time it just crashed.

32 Man server: Works like a charm. Seen some online servers with it

Ultra Extreme Quality: Slows my comp hardcore :\

Gore: No idea what the hell it did.

RocketDM: Fun as hell, reminds me of the old Rocket Arena mod for Q2/3

Fightclub: I find it a useless mod and it didn't work for us

Chainsaws Only DM: Fun, but it only worked once.

 

Something we didn't know was everyone needs these mods and theirs no way to download them while entering a server with them, execpt for the 32Man Server mod, that requires no downloading at all.
