Doom III is out there! W00T!


Recommended Posts

And what legacy stuff would that be?

There is nothing that's in XP that's not in 2003, save perhaps the logon UI (And I don't even remember if that is there somewhere).

  • Visual Basic 5.0 runtime removed.
  • DirectPlay 1.0 removed.
  • DirectMusic removed.
  • Intel codecs removed from DirectX.
  • SOAP Toolkit removed.
  • Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) removed.

There's tons more - which is why so many old applications work fine in XP but do not function in Windows Server 2003. Here's a good read.

Anyway, jerry is right, this is way off-topic. I'm still happy to discuss with you, PM me if you want to reply to me. :)

While I'll admit i'm downloading it as we speak, I'm also (as many have already said) definately going to buy it when it is released so that i can play the multiplayer side of the game. I live in the UK and i've still got 2 weeks to wait for it, and with everyone else getting there hands on it it just cant wait - but as i said, I'm buying it. This is a game i respect and have waited on for a long time, ID have earnt my cash and will get it, as will half life 2 when thats released. I hope many others downloading the game will also purchase it.

I am in the same boat as you my friend.

Even though I preordered it and it's already paid in full I'm not going to DL. I like my computer to be 100% legit, no music I don't own the CD for, no warez. I either buy it or it's freeware. DOOM 3 is not free.

Now on to the reason I'm here. Where all the screenies? Maybe even some hi-rez videos?

the guy has to be ****ed as he probably is really trying to get some extra cash off the deal. fact of the matter is that its only 2 days from now and its a sunday it wont be getting shipped till monday which means the EARLIEST some coudl have it is tuesday which is the day it will probably be available for the buyer in the first place. sucker born every minute thou. :whistle:

side note: almost 1000 replies :blink:

I do not know why people cannot just wait three days. And then you wonder why computer game companies release crappy games because they know that even if they develop a great game that takes years to make, people like some of those on here will ruin it by downloading it for free. So why even bother trying to make a great game if they are not going to get rewarded for it?

Here in the UK and basically everywhere except US and Canada it won't be released until August 13th, some places later than that even. Not releasing at the same time globally only encourages piracy.

The thing is, people have waited like years for this game to be developed. What is a few days or a few weeks to wait for it to be sold in stores? See I hate to see companies like id or Valve not get their money when they deserve it. By not paying for the work it does not motivate them to make better games in the future because when thousand of people illegally download their games why even bother making future games. It just ruins it for us who actually pay for them.

Non-Warez:

HIAH: You sleeping or too busy playing?

come on guys, don't warez/spam this up

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
