Doom III is out there! W00T!


Recommended Posts

I just picked up my copy from my local Gamestop this morning, and Im running just fine on Ultra Detail at 1024x768 (highest res my flat pannel goes). My system specs are:

Windows XP Professional SP1

AMD Athlon XP 3000+

512 MB of Ram

Saphire ATI RADEON 9600 256mb

So anyone with simular specs should be just fine. It's nothing to really worry about :)

I was just about to ask on here if anyone has tried GameStop or EB yet. Do you know if every GameStop is selling Doom 3 today or is it just a fluke that yours is selling it? Perhaps we should start a where you purchased it thread where people can state the store and the city they got it from.

I had a Reservation placed for the game and my Gamestop decided to give it out a day early to thoes who reserved it.

my friend, Mr.Malpractice in COH told his group that he was loggin so he could come over and play D3, a member of his group replied in global chat along the lines of " he has doom 3 ", and people started flooding the chat channel, and messaging him like mad. he just told peopel to coem to neowin, lol

prepare a new flood of viewers

i know u guys will think im talking bs...

i have just spent 2 hours playing it at 1024x748 ULTRA detail with all advanced stuff turned on....on my GF4 ti4600 and got fps between 8 and 35 and it was still fun to play :o

anyone else getting just a blank screen when trying to view screenshots? :crazy:

edit: here's a pic with prntscrn showing the fps in moderate action...on ultra detail on a 4600...

to play on ultra mode (to notice any benefit that is) you need a 512mb card which isnt released yet... so right now, there is no difference b/c high and ultra... just play on high.

and yes, ultra has no compression at all which is why you need a 512 card

from what i understand / heard, ATI and NVidia's next product refresh are goign to be 512 cards.

Anyone Heard of the Doom3 Bloopers Mod :D ?

The DOOM 3 Blooper mod team sent us word that they have begun work on their new mod which will consist of laughs, giggles and chuckles instead of the fear and pants filling goodness of the real DOOM 3. "The D3 Bloopers will rebuild the existing single player story of Doom 3 and infuse a cackling plethora of gags and "accidents" along the way. Monsters will drop their weapons, forget their lines and scamper off yipping all the way. Characters will be slaughtered in mid sentence, lights will come on during spooky parts of the game and a bunch of other Loki-inspired riches await!" Sounds interesting to say the least. Head on over to the D3 Blooper page and give Dick Clark a smack if you see him hanging around looking for work.

thats pretty LOL =D

    • Leave Secure Boot off, the Optiplex 7010 isn't getting a firmware update to support the changes...
    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
