What did you have to end up doing?

Allright...I downloaded it, tried it and wept.

It didn´t work, so do you mind be more specific at what you did to make it run please?

BTW guys are you aware you need to go into console mode before playing? I didnt see it mentioned anywhere. With the one I had you have to load the game, bring up the promt style console window and give it a command line to run. IT WILL NOT work from the Single player menu button. That will crash it every time. You have to tell it to load a map from the console.
 
hmm strange... i've gotten it to work from the single player button... but if I want to go to the next level I have to load the map in the console.

Hmph! thanks for that tip...could you not have been earlier? :tongue:
The shittiest thing is that I deleted the Doom3 files as I thought it
just didn´t work with my comp...oh well, download again.

Ok, download finished...now how do I get this game up and running?
I´ve tried the console thing where I typed 'Map *name of map*' but it wont work.
What am I doing wrong here?

Look, at what u made me do! Made me move my lazy ass!

1. Unrar (duh)
2. In your Doom_III\base directory, open the runact.cfg file.
3. Comment out the last line. In other words, add the "#" sign in front of the string "devmap $e3_intro" so it looks like the following:#devmap $e3_intro
4. Launch the game using the main exe.
5. Press the tilde key to bring down the console (just like Q3)
6. Type the following: exec runact.cfg
7. Hit enter, and then go grab a soda. Seriously, it takes about 5 mins to load all the crap.
8. Once it is done, you can launch the intro movie, or play yourself.
9. From the console, use the following commands: · map e3/intro (Loads intro movie) · map e3/e3_1 (Loads first map) · map e3/e3_2 (Loads second map) · map e3/e3_3 (Loads third map) · map fred/e3bathroom5 (won't work for some people) Changing controls:From the console, type: bindlistThis will list all the currently bound keys and their functions. Use the page up and page down keys to scroll through the list. The controls for standard movement are not bound to the regular WASD config, so type the following to put it back to normal: · bind w _forward · bind s _back · bind a _moveleft · bind d _moveright Check out some of the other bindings, God mode and give health are already bound for you 🙂 Checking FPS: type com_drawfps 1

Just got Doom3 working (Thanks for tips folks, Yaks and Flamy plus others)...
Is this game a feast for your eyes or what?
Highpoly characters, realtime (goodlooking) shadows and spooky
environments.

I´ll even consider spending a lot of money on new hardware just to play
this game when it hit the shelves (if it runs slow that is).

By far the most goodlooking game I ever seen.

Many games (if not all) are hyped like hell before they are released.
"This game is best, has the best graphics, gameplay and...bla bla bla"

This game is also hyped but it really deserves it, just think of all the other
games that will follow this one, especially the ones using the doom3
engine. fat!
Finally the games are starting to look as they should do (by my standards
that is :tongue: )

Hell, I´ll even consider BYING games if they look like this! :wink:

Yea I finally got this f'n demo to work. All I needed was WinRar. Figures. Anyways, this game is gorgeous. But I found something as I tried using the speed_up_doom file, this actually made the game run more choppy than just playing it default. Anybody else find this out too?
 
Yep, same for me...very odd and not-so-logic.
