Doom3.

[BoomAM]

Hi,
Does anyone here have the the doom3 alpha?
I`d like to see the eye candy running on my system.
I was wondering what specs are needed to run this. Are mine OK for it? Check the sig for the specs.
What do you need to run it? software wise/need to do.

Incase this post gets deleted, then PM me, or E-Mail me.

Thanks guys/gals

Should run nice.
I tried it on my 1500+ with GF2MX400 (!): just wanted to take a look at graphics, got 5-25fps (noticable fps drops in difficult places).

P.S. I was running it with default settings.

How do you run it?
How do you change graphics settings?
My mate is DLing the main file off Kazaa for me. He has broadband, lucky Barstuad.
Whats this Doom3 Aplha fix on kazaa as well? Is this needed?
Ive DLed the readme file myself, and so far, i only know how to load up the maps.
Is the Alpha, a demo scene, thats computer controlled, or is it a version that you(the user) has to control.
How do you do FPS tests with it? Cos ive seen several GFX cards reviews that use the Doom3 Alpha as a test, and was wondering how.

Thanks again.

Benchmarking is done with "timedemo 1" - "demo activate_demo1" from console I believe. DoomWorld's forums used to have a bit of blurb on this.

Also, naughty naughty warezmonkey for downloading the Doom III alpha.

Oh and like you dont own/have owned something illegal.
I`d bet that at least 80% of people on these forums have some sort of copyed/illegal software.
I didnt download it. Its over 300mb on size. I have a 56k, not a good conbination. My mates downloaded it for me and burned it onto a disk. He has broadband.(mmmm....broadband)
Personally, i think that you have the alpha as well. How else would you know how to benchmark? Its not like you`d go and find out how to benchmark just for the sake of it is it?

Doom3 uses the same command system as all the quakes have. I havn't played it myself because I don't have Windows on my PC, but a friend of mine couldn't resist downloading it and trying it out.

And that makes it ok? People think software piracy is so rampant that it must be ok for them to do it, but in reality stealing is stealing is stealing.

[BoomAM]

Thanks for the links Lonyo.
Nothinman, ive never said that it made it ok, all i was saying is that most people on the forums probably owns somesort of copyed software. Nowhere did i say that it made it ok.

 

[Nothinman]

Not directly, but it was insinuated in your response to MercenaryForHire.

 

[BoomAM]

Its called sarcasm. I was joking. Jeez.

 

[Nothinman]

Sorry, voice tones don't translate to text very well...

 

[BoomAM]

I know. Its like when your trying to be sarcastic or tell a joke to someone on the forums, and because emotions dont type well, they think that you`re being awkward.
Nothinman, dont worry about it m8. i dont. lol.

**EDIT** took the time demo... rendered 2982 frames in 72.6 seconds = 41.1 fps... is that good? it looked good!
