What’s New in Version 1.3.1

Released

  • v 1.3.1:
  • We’ve tested Doom 3 and Quake 4 to run fine on Windows Vista, provided you have an OpenGL ICD installed (provided by your GPU vendor). Both NVidia and AMD/ATI have released an OpenGL ICD in their latest driver line.
  • If no OpenGL ICD is present, the default OpenGL driver is a wrapper to D3D provided by Microsoft, which lacks the necessary features to run id games with their full performance and graphical impact.
  • The install CDs (and DVDs) for Doom 3 and Quake 4 will install the game fine under Vista. The Quake 4 installer may require you to install Flash Player first, and Vista may pop occasional warning windows but in the end you will get a working installation.
  • Tested and improved Vista compatibility.
  • Fix a potential crash in physics.
  • Fix an issue with pak downloaded being immediately appended without filesystem restart.
  • Updated the code to gcc 4.0 compliance, for Mac OSX universal binaries and GNU/Linux x86 binaries.
  • Threading implementation for Mac and Linux is more compliant with the Win32 behaviours.
  • v 1.3:
  • PunkBuster(TM) support has been added. When enabling or disabling PunkBuster(TM) on a server, the game must be restarted before the change takes effect.
  • EAX(R) ADVANCED HD(TM) support in the sound engine contributed by Creative Labs(R). Doom 3 base game comes with room reverb data.
  • To utilize EAX(R) ADVANCED HD(TM) in Doom 3, you must have 100% EAX 4.0 compatible sound card. Please refer to your sound card manufacturer for details on whether or not your sound card supports EAX 4. 0.
  • Sound Blaster(R) Audigy(R) 2 users who wish to utilize the new EAX 4.0 feature in Doom 3 should download the latest Creative Beta Drivers for the card released on April 5th, 2005. Not using these drivers may result in game instability while using EAX 4.0.
  • Server provides .pk4 file download URLs (http/ftp), client has internal download.
  • New class of .pk4 files: ‘addon paks’ are only referenced when the map is loaded in.
  • .pk4 downloads and addon paks come with a number of fixes to the ‘pure server mode’ filesystem code.
  • Fixed ragdoll bounciness.
  • Fixed how Doom 3 detects LAN client vs. Internet clients.
  • LZW compression of render demos.
  • Fixed command line parameter passing.
  • Added a Quake III-style graph of the connection quality for network clients. It can be toggled with the console command net_clientLagOMeter 1 or 0. This displays a graph of how much the client predicts ahead of the server. Note that as a host you can specify a client’s minimum prediction ahead of the server with net_clientPrediction followed by the number of milliseconds. Increasing this value may help with lag.
  • Saved Games from previous versions of the Russian version of Doom 3 cannot be loaded after installing the 1.3 patch. Also, when saving games with Russian characters, names with same amount of characters overwrite each other after installing the 1.3 patch. It is recommended you use non-Cyrillic characters when creating saved games in the Russian version of Doom 3.
  • v 1.1:
  • NOTES FOR MOD USERS:
  • It is recommended that any user modifications that have been installed to the
  • Doom3 directory be removed before installing this update. These modifications
  • are not supported by Activision and may not be compatible with some of the new
  • features that are included.
  • NOTE FOR SINGLE PLAYER SAVED GAMEs:
  • Using this update will reset your progress in whatever map you are currently saved in. When loading a saved game, the player starts at the begining of that map with their inventory intact.
  • Using this update will reset the Nightmare skill setting. If you are playing in Nightmare mode before applying the 1.1 update, you will need to re-enable it in the console (g_nightmare 1).
  • NOTE FOR WIN32 DEDICATED SERVER EXECUTABLE:
  • Also included in this update is a Win32 dedicated server executable. This
  • allows servers to be run under Win32 without a CD Check. You can launch this
  • with command line options or configure it through the console once launched.
  • Just launch «Doom3Ded.exe».

    Warnings

    The macOS (OS X) version of this game needs a fix to work on macOS Catalina (version 10. 15) or later (see API for details).

    Doom 3 is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person action and shooter game in the Doom series.

    Key points

    EAX support suffers from frequent visual glitches.[1] See visual twitch bug with OpenAL/EAX for a solution.
    The game does not properly recognize the available VRAM on modern graphics cards, and as such forces the game to use lower image quality settings. See Forcing Ultra quality settings for a workaround with modern graphics cards.

    In-game advanced video settings.

    Widescreen resolution

    Use the dhewm3 source port[8]
    Install the Doom 3 Redux mod[9]
    Manually edit DoomConfig.cfg[10]
    1. Go to <path-to-game>\base and open DoomConfig. cfg with a text editor (e.g. Notepad).
    2. Search for the lines seta r_customHeight "<value>" and seta r_customWidth "<value>" and change them to desired resolution values (e.g. seta r_customHeight "1080" and seta r_customWidth "1920" for 1920×1080).
    3. Search for the line seta r_mode "<value>" and set this to «-1» to enable custom resolutions in the game.
    4. Search for the line seta r_aspectRatio "<value>". For 4:3 resolutions (e.g. 1024×768), set this to 0. For 16:9 or 21:9 resolutions (e.g. 1920×1080), set this to 1. For 16:10 or 15:9 resolutions (e.g. 1920×1200), set this to 2.

    Notes

    This method assumes the latest patches are installed as it involves setting a game variable that did not exist in the earliest retail versions, otherwise this will not work.
    If these lines are not available in the DoomConfig. cfg file, then add them manually.
    21:9 ultrawide users will also need to install an aspect-ratio FOV fix for both Doom 3 and Resurrection of Evil.
    These values can be set in the developer console. Omit the command seta when doing so, and use vid_restart to apply changes.
    HUD, menus, and FMV cutscenes are stretched unless played on CstDoom3. dhewm3 can also fix menu scaling.

    Field of view (FOV)

    Set FOV manually[11]
    1. Open the developer console with Ctrl+Alt+~ (Doom 3) or ~ (dhewm3).
    2. Type in g_fov <value> to the desired FOV value.

    Notes

    Alternatively, g_fov <value> can be manually edited in DoomConfig.cfg.
    In multiplayer, g_fov can only be changed between 90 and 110.

    Anisotropic filtering (AF)

    Anisotropic filtering scales with the «Video Quality» option.
    Set AF manually[11]
    1. Open the developer console with Ctrl+Alt+~ (Doom 3) or ~ (dhewm3).
    2. Type in image_anisotropy <value> between values of 18.
    3. To apply new settings, type in vid_restart to restart the renderer.

    High frame rate

    The game’s frame rate is capped at 62.5 FPS.
    Unlock the frame rate cap[12]
    1. Open the developer console with Ctrl+Alt+~ (Doom 3) or ~ (dhewm3).
    2. Type in the following commands: com_fixedTic 1, com_preciseTic 0.

    Notes

    Unlocking the frame rate can introduce issues such as audio desyncing during cutscenes or the game speed becoming too fast without a frame rate cap on high refresh displays. The issue can be mitigated by externally forcing Vsync from the GPU’s control panel and locking the game’s frame rate to 60 FPS.

    Gamma

    Set gamma manually[11]
    1. Open the console with ~ (dhewm3) or Ctrl+Alt+~.
    2. Type in r_gamma X where X is the desired value (default 1).

    Disable head bobbing

    Disable head bobbing through these settings[13]
    1. Create autoexec.cfg file in <path-to-game>\base.
    2. Add the following commands, and save the file.
    seta pm_runbob "0"
    seta pm_runpitch "0"
    seta pm_runroll "0"
    seta pm_walkbob "0"
    seta pm_bobpitch "0"
    seta pm_bobroll "0"
    seta pm_bobup "0"
    seta pm_crouchbob "0"

    Enable plasma gun projectile shadows

    Edit lights.mtr found in pak000.pk4[14]
    1. Open <path-to-game>\base\pak000.pk4 with 7-Zip or a similar program.
    2. Go to materials folder.
    3. Open lights.mtr with a text editor (e.g. Notepad++).
    4. Search for the line plasmaglow, and delete the noshadows line under it.
    5. Save the changes and update the contents of pak000.pk4 when prompted by 7-Zip.

    Issues fixed

    Visual twitch bug with OpenAL/EAX

    Using OpenAL (seta s_useOpenAL "1" in DoomConfig.cfg), which was added with patch 1.3 and is automatically engaged when EAX is turned on, results in frequent visual twitching/screen shifting. It is currently unknown whether this happens on all configurations, but the problem persists in the latest patch. A video of the glitch in action can be seen here (0:07, 0:11).
    Use a SoundBlaster Audigy card.[18]
    If this still doesn’t work, try the old SBA2_BETADRV_US_2_05_0000 drivers (works only on windows XP).[19]
    Use the patcher provided in EAXEFX.

    Incorrect EAX effect in Doom3: Ressurection of evil with OpenAL/EAX

    X-fi and audigy 2 Sound card are not affected by this problem.[citation needed]
    Post X-fi card, that use Host openAL drivers from Creative and OpenAL Soft are concerned by this bug.
    The patch 1.3 has been shipped with incorrect EFX files for the expansion Ressurection of Evil, these files control EAX effects to apply in each zone of a level. The problem is due to a missing parameter «air absorption hf» in each zone of each level file.
    Use the patcher provided in EAXEFX.

    Weapons sound being «drowned» or near inaudible

    OpenAL scales down all sounds temporarily if the mixed result would be too loud. This could happen in doom3, especially when using EAX. The patcher below will provide a fix that consist of scaling down volume of all sounds to prevent the issue (just set your system speaker volume a bit higher if needed).
    Use the patcher provided in EAXEFX.

    Textures are low-resolution, even on Ultra quality

    Force Ultra quality settings via autoexec.cfg[20]
    1. Go to <path-to-game>\base
    2. Create a new file called autoexec.cfg if one did not already exist.
    3. Add the following lines in the autoexec.cfg file:
    seta r_renderer "best"
    seta com_videoRam "512"
    seta com_machineSpec "3"
    seta r_shadows "1"
    seta r_skipBump "0"
    seta r_skipSpecular "0"
    seta r_skipNewAmbient "0"
    seta r_multiSamples "8"
    seta image_anisotropy "8"
    seta image_lodbias "-2"
    seta image_filter "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR"
    seta image_ignoreHighQuality "0"
    seta image_roundDown "0"
    seta image_forceDownSize "0"
    seta image_downSize "0"
    seta image_downSizeBump "0"
    seta image_downSizeSpecular "0"
    seta image_useCache "0"
    seta image_usePrecompressedTextures "0"
    seta image_useNormalCompression "0"
    seta image_useCompression "0"
    seta image_useAllFormats "1"
    seta g_showBrass "1"
    seta g_decals "1"
    seta g_doubleVision "1"
    seta g_bloodEffects "1"
    seta g_projectileLights "1"
    seta g_muzzleFlash "1"
    4. Save the file. The game should now default to Ultra quality every time it is launched.
    com_videoRam must be set explicitly. Value «-1» does not work in some cases.
    For Nvidia users set seta r_multiSamples «8» to seta r_multiSamples «16»

    Micro stuttering

    This issue is caused by the game’s internal ticrate being tied to 62.5 FPS cap on 60 Hz displays.
    See High frame rate for a potential workaround

    Fix interface font scaling

    By default, some of the game’s text fonts render at a lower resolution due to a font scaling limiter.
    Remove the font scaling limit[21]
    1. Add the lines to autoexec.cfg or change it manullay in DoomConfig.cfg:
    seta gui_mediumFontLimit "0"
    seta gui_smallFontLimit "0"
    2. Save the file. The game should now render the text in higher quality regardless of resolution.

    Performance improving for low-end systems

    Configuration files[citation needed]
    1. Open DoomConfig.cfg file
    2. seta image_useCache "1"
    3. Set image_cacheMegs to about 1/4 of your total system RAM.
    4. Set image_cacheMinK = «image_cacheMegs» × 128
    5. Save the file and start the game.
    Assuming at least 1 GB of system RAM is used:
    seta image_useCache "1"
    seta image_cacheMegs "256"
    seta image_cacheMinK "32768"

    Mouse not working

    Change Executable name[citation needed]

    or

    Wireless gaming mouse[citation needed]
    1. Set the mouse’s rate to at least 250

    Poor performance/»slow-motion» effect on Nvidia cards

    Doom 3 and other id Tech 4 games suffer from a potential driver-related issue on modern Nvidia GPUs that causes the game to go into what appears to a «slow-motion» phase during some intensive scenes, where the framerate technically remains the same but game logic is slowed down and negatively effects performance, and it persists even when using the dhewm3 sourceport and/or microstutter fix. This issue can potentially be fixed through using an autoexec.cfg file containing the necessary CVar tweaks.
    Configure an autoexec.cfg file according to this Steam guide.[citation needed]

    Game won’t launch correctly (Linux on Retail)

    Remove the included libgcc_s.so.1 and libstdc++.so.6 from the installation folder[citation needed]

    No Sound (Linux)

    Use the OSS wrapper for specific audio device[citation needed]
    Specify the default audio output[citation needed]
    1. Open and edit the config file
    2. Find seta s_alsa_pcm and replace default with the name of the ALSA audio output, for example hw:0,0
    3. Save the file

    Linux installation

    To install Doom 3 on Linux, create a new folder and copy the following retail files to the <path-to-game>\base folder:

    base\pak000. pk4
    base\pak001.pk4
    base\pak002.pk4
    base\pak003.pk4
    base\pak004.pk4

    If installing the expansion pack, also copy the following retail pk4 to the <path-to-game>\d3xp folder:

    :d3xp/pak000.pk4

    After copying all pk4 files to the hard drive, run the Linux patch and direct it to the new Doom 3 folder. Start the game with the command: doom3. To launch the expansion use: doom3 +set fs_game d3xp

    For Arch Linux, two PKGBUILDs are available in the AUR for Doom 3; one that builds from source and one that provides a binary.

There will also be many bosses: Cyberdemon, Sabot, Berserker, Icon of Sin, Helltime and many other huge monsters. Among your weapons are: fists and brass knuckles for close combat, a pistol, a chainsaw, a shotgun, a plasma gun, a grapple, a minigun, and, of course, the monstrous BFG9000.

    In addition to DOOM 3 itself, the edition set includes the classic first two parts of the series (1993 and 1994 release), which work well on modern hardware, and two add-ons: Resurrection of Evil (Resurrection of Evil) and Lost Mission (Lost Mission).
