Doom III is out there! W00T!


Recommended Posts

Jesus, my friend went and bought it at my local Best Buy earlier today when I told him it was there. He actually picked me up and brought me to his place so I could see the game.

Absolutely fricken incredible. I can just imagine me playing it in the dark on my headset whilst the thunderstorms are knocking away with the lightning blasting!

-------

Yay, my friend is gonna let me go play at his house for awhile!!!

P4 3.2 Ghz (overclocked but I have no clue to what clocks)

6800 Ultra

2 GB Ram

His PC is even more l337 than mine.

And yes, it looks INSANE on Ultra detail. And, the thunderstorms are getting worse woohoo!

I'll be back in a few hours I'd imagine, chow peeps!

Jesus went to Best Buy and picked up a copy of Doom 3; He didn't just speak it into existence? :blink: And He found out about it from you; He didn't already know it was there? :blink: And he took you up to heaven to check it out? :blink: And He's using a P4 instead of an Athlon FX? :no: And only two gigs of RAM? :no:

That's alternatingly crazy and weak; Jesus needs a better rig.

:whistle: phew, good news indeed. I got the impression i'd only be getting around 40 - 50 fps as I have same specs as Dray_04. Tomorrow morning :woot: :woot:

I'm trying to download this from BT. I've got the game preordered too, so I'm not a pirate! :p

But even with 400 seeds and 20000 peers, I'm still only getting about 15K. What's going on?

All ports have been forwarded and ABC Bittorrent shows that everything is working fine, but the speed just won't go up despite the fact that there's 5 million people uploading.

,Aug 1 2004, 17:23] I'm amazed at how good this game looks on my system, even at medium. P4C 2.6, 1 gig ram, Radeon 9800 (non-pro). I expected a slideshow, but it's very very smooth.

cool. that's about my specs. i have a 3ghz though.

Its just they way it is... probaley some people limiting the upload speed i think and you share that across 1000's of people its not going to be very fast at all.

Also just cause you pre-ordered the game still makes you a "pirate". You are downloading a game which you do not own illegally. :laugh:

So, can anyone confirm the rumor that the final boss is indeed the dreaded Cyberdemon of old? Just say yes or no, and post a screenshot. Nothing too extensive.

As for me, im just waiting for EB to let me know when they get it in, since I pre-ordered a while ago. You guys need to stop getting so worked up about how well it will run or whatnot, it's really quite pathetic. And to those who did get it, just shut up and stop bragging. It's ****ing rediculous.

    • Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.
    • Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.
    • This is what I want. Hey Gemini, how do I remove you from all my google products permanently?
    • I would never install install this build before rtm process. only 3 months to go. never install on your daily devices. just wait 3 months.
    • Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications. Improvements Improved task list transitions and preserved task state during tab switches. Kept RPC origin access enabled for local integrations.
