Doom 3 in PC gaming Tech http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22563668 en Wed, 02 Dec 2009 11:13:22 EDT Wed, 02 Dec 2009 11:13:22 EDT Re: Doom 3 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22699149 Mustang : I found installing DOOM 3 on Vista hit or miss with a) getting it to run and b) having the resolution choice stick.

While running it XP the workaround of amending the bat file worked, but not in Vista. In my last install the game seemed to work fine, so as someone recommended above, un-install and clean install might be the easiest solution.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22699149 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 11:23:27 EDT Re: Doom 3 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22696260 Kearnstd : im sure if we are still using Windows then it will be using 1/4 of it just for the OS.... and since HDs are always bigger then available ram... the standard install will require 5-6 Petabytes of available HD space...

Wow! That's a lot of memory. :o :D
1.42 Petabytes (or 1456 Terabytes or 1490948 Gigabytes).

You could run hundreds of instances of every application known to man simultaneously with the much RAM. :o
Careful in 20 years someone will find that statement and laugh at you!

If you can write in the game's own folder, the game will run fine.

Solution for that is to run Windows Explorer as administrator, right click on the Doom 3 folder, select Properties, select Security tab, under Group or user names: pick Users, go to Permissions for User (or specific user) and check under Allow column Modify (Write will also be selected simultaneously), click apply, exit. That way data can be written into the game folder from any user who plays the game.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22570575 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 05:07:18 EDT Doom 3 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22563668 anon : The game starts wierd in some sort of a frame , and it seems to be in 640 480 res.,
