Phil De Groot wasted my time on 4/3/2005 10:44 AM with the following: > Just started playing the downloadable Doom 3 demo. I've got a P4 1.7ghz with > 512 meg ram and an ATI Raedeon 9550SE 128meg video card. When I get on the > first elevator at the start of the game (after following the robot guide), > the games freezes. > > Anyone have any ideas? > > I recommend using the Omegadrivers on any Radeon chipset (mobility included), because in my experience, some of them tend to freeze up after x minutes in game (mine was about 10 minutes, and it required a full reboot) You can get them here: http://www.omegadrivers.net Also, your CPU is above the minimum requirements by just a scraping of the nuts, so you can't expect too much from it. You can read various tweak guides online (not sure if you can use all of the settings in the demo, but who knows?!), and I highly recommend this one: http://www.techspot.com/tweaks/doom3/ Which gives you a complete and very thorough look at all the settings in-game, for best performance and image quality. -- -SnoopJeDi
