Hi

I recently started playing Doom 3 again,and decided to get a Hi Definition textures pack:-

https://www.moddb.com/mods/doom-3-hi-def

But when i play for about 5-10 minutes the screen goes black and seconds after a same sound fx starts repeating very quickly.After that i have to reboot my PC.

I have seen quite a few reports on the web about Doom 3 been okay on Windows 10,but not for me!.

Does anyone know how i can fix my problem.

Thanks in Advance.

Colin

Hi Aemony

Okay i removed the mod files for Hi Definition textures pack from the Doom 3/base directory,but i'm still getting the same black screen freeze/crash.

I thought it might have been the Mod making the game crash,but now i don't know.

I have Resurrection of evil installed,so i think my doom 3 is version 1.2?.

Thanks

Colin

Patch game to v1.3.1
make autoexec.cfg file in "base" folder, copy-paste commands from Doom 3 \ Quake 4  pcgw page
Try playing with compatibility settings under main exe propeties
Ctrl+alt+delete, task manager, process tab, find Doom 3 process on list, right click, set affinity.

If that fail, try luck with source ports (there are 2 i think) or just get "BFG Edition", its way less problematic on todays hardware.
