You're welcome :) Hey, have you checked out the Doom3 tweaks at UpsetChaps? http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/Doom3/Doom3Guide.htm They have a lot of useful info there, I figure that adjusting some settings in Doomconfig.cfg will allow you to run in 1024x768 with a few things durned down or off, giving up just a little image quality for faster smoother gameplay. Especially where there are several moving characters in a scene. I've run across a number of speed tweaks there while looking for lighting and LOD info. McG.
