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).

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.

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).

Micro stuttering

This issue is caused by the game’s internal ticrate being tied to 62.5 FPS cap on 60 Hz displays.

Fix interface font scaling

By default, some of the game’s text fonts render at a lower resolution due to a font scaling limiter.

seta gui_mediumFontLimit "0"

Performance improving for low-end systems

Mouse not working

or

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.

Best mods for Doom 3

Mods

11/28/2019

Doom 2016 has already shocked us all. But do not forget about the good old third part. Doom 3 was a real breakthrough in the gaming industry in 2004. Magnificent graphics for those times, excellent gameplay, a huge bunch of monsters and just a tough adrenaline rush. Of course, this masterpiece in the first-person shooter genre attracted the attention of modders. A lot of mods have been created for the game, but we will only talk about the coolest ones! nine0003

Doom 3 was an outstanding breakthrough from ID Software. Recall that this miracle of nature came out already in 2004. Later, already in 2005, an official add-on called Ressurection of Evil was filed. The game immersed us again in our beloved universe, which we had studied for so long in those terrible 90s. According to the storyline in the distant future, one of the special forces who arrived on Mars discovers that Earth scientists managed to find traces of an alien civilization that was destroyed at one time by some mighty ancient force. This is where all the misadventures of the hero begin. nine0003

Graphics and animation impressed with their beauty and detail. The gameplay was like a cross between Call of Duty and Painkiller with legions of monsters. First-aid kits still served as health fillers. Cartridges had to be searched for in numerous locations. The levels, on the other hand, were long, scary and incredibly long, and both big bosses and ordinary enemies were scattered across them. In Ressurection of Evil, we even got the opportunity to use time dilation a la FEAR.

In 2012, a re-release of Doom 3 was released, called the BFG Edition. However, nothing special, except for a flashlight, was not made there. The picture remained almost the same, and crashes and other bugs disappointed the players. It’s good that at least the modders tried and created a considerable number of amateur add-ons for Doom 3.

INSTALLING MODS

Mods for Doom 3 are installed only in the root folder. Read the instructions carefully before installing any mod. Some even have video tutorials to install, which can also be found on the Moddb pages.

mars city security

Author: Scared Pixel Studios

D3 MCS: Mars City Security is a unique mod for Doom3 that emphasizes cooperative and competitive multiplayer. The add-on combines the fast and addictive gameplay of its predecessors (Doom and Doom 2) with the improved technology of Doom3, that is, it improves it in every aspect. nine0003

The Campaign PVE (Coop) game type allows players to co-op to complete default missions and missions created by other players in a special mode. At the moment, there is already a whole community mastering this project. There is a special type of PVE (Coop) «DemonWars» in the mod that throws players straight into an epic battle that erupted across the entire solar system after the forces of hell broke loose. Fight like a true warrior with other players together against hordes of demons and try to survive in the last battle of mankind. nine0003

The PVP (Deathmatch) game type allows players to fight each other in a wide variety of arenas in order to achieve absolute superiority over their opponents. For fans of multiplayer, this is the top! Doom 3 phobos Game levels are more for research, development and puzzle solving than for shooting thousands of enemies. This is the main quality of the Phobos mod. Forget the basic style of play you saw in Doom 3. Enjoy new gameplay that you never even dreamed of! nine0003

Phobos is closer in spirit to games like Half-Life or Dark Forces / Jedi Knight. Like Classic Doom, these games are a type of first-person shooter that has all but disappeared. In fashion, the atmosphere is similar. The authors added not only new weapons, hitherto unseen in Doom, but also a full-fledged storyline. If anyone wants to see the old Doom 3 in a new way, let him download this wonderful and extraordinary modification.

Dark Mod is also a toolbox that allows fans and team members to create their own steampunk gothic hidden missions.
