Hey, for the Steam version of he original DOOM 3, it asks for a CD key. However, game's settings in my library doesn't list it. The button exists, and pressing it gives a popup that you would normally get for a CD key, in the space where the CD key itself would be listed is empty. A CD key is generated for Resurrection of Evil, but it just doesn't work in game.

I've been using the Dhewm 3 source port to play the game, but I would like to play the Steam version.

[viral briar]

Try disabling your internet and then run DOOM 3

[slim willow]

Nice

[frosty holly]

That doesnt work?

@jolly tangle

[clear vapor]

how did you get the game legally or piracy?

[jolly tangle]

Legally through Steam

[jolly tangle]

The code simply doesn't get generated. The space where it would be listed is empty.

In that tiny pop-up window you're showing.

[jolly tangle]

I know that others are having this issue and I think It has to do with Id trying to push people to play the BFG version instead.

Did you guys get your copies of D3 before Id simplified Steam listings?
@frosty holly @clear vapor

[misty abyss]

trying opening base game then roe

[clear vapor]

i installed doom 3 trough disc back then and my cd key didint work so i tried reinstalling and it worked

[jolly tangle]

I don't think that would work.
A little bit ago I reinstalled D3 and had the same issue.

[misty abyss]

when i first booted up the game it asked for key, so i closed it and opened roe then base game again and never saw that window pop up in game again

[clear vapor]

where di you get your copy of doom 3 is it steam? doesn't that works like a dlc addon instaed of a separate install.... sorry im a bit inexperienced with steam because im a Microsoft store person

[misty abyss]

I did get it on steam, roe is listed in library as a separate game

[clear vapor]

oh soo is still the same and why is it that doom 3 is only doom 3 did they remove the original from steam

[misty abyss]

doom 3 on steam is essentially a complete pack

once you get it you get everything

base game, roe and bfg edition

[shadow lava]

Hi

[uneven bane]

sup

[latent ridge]

try copying d3key from dhewm3?

it should be in Documents/My Games/dhewm3 or Documents/dhewm3

[jolly tangle]

The txt file that should have the key in it is also blank.

[latent ridge]

oh

well, at that point, why not just use dhewm3?

it's way better than the original engine

[jolly tangle]

I was just wanting to see what stuff was like in the original version.

[latent ridge]

it's like dhewm3 but worse

[jolly tangle]

better phrasing would be it's DOOM 3 but better

agreed

[jolly tangle]

neeeevermind

[azure wave]

can anyone help me with modding doom 3

i'm trying to install sikkmod to get third person

[latent ridge]

the OG doesn't have EAX, janky widescreen support, tons of bugs, and barely works on the latest versions of windows

[jolly tangle]

exactly.
as I said, DOOM 3 but better.
I phrased it that way because DOOM 3 came first, and dhewm3 is a source port based on it.

[scenic stratus]

people actually play doom 3? 🤯

[latent ridge]

second best game in the series unfortunately

[clear vapor]

better than eternal and thats coming from a guy who plays eternal for hundreds of hours

[covert valley]

The two games are pretty different from each other so i dont really think its plausible comparison

[jolly tangle]

yup. it's old and struggles to be scary, but people like it. can't say I'm a part of that group though, but it's a decent game.

it would definitely benefit from a nightdive remaster

[clear vapor]

both games are just about you shooting demons just in different interpretations

[young talon]

i do. a lot

[young talon]

it struggles to be scary? i almost fell off my chair the first time i played it because i was anxious af!

[jolly tangle]

eh, just my opinion. i didn't really get scared or anxious during my playthrough.
at the same time, my playthrough was on the bfg editon (yuck), but i did play resurrection of evil on the dhewm3 source port (so i got the original experience) and still wasn't really spooked.

https://tenor.com/view/among-us-doom-airpod-gif-19801708

ill play the original doom 3 sometime, but right now i'm on doom 2016.

[young talon]

i play the original experience too

[misty abyss]

Tbh the only possible anxiety there is if you shoot a shotgun and spread is as wide as multiverse

[heavy island]

i've been playing doom 3 with the oculus quest port and they improved a lot of the guns (e.g. decreasing spread on shotgun) and it really does make the game feel like a modernization of the classic doom games

there's doomy parts of the level design like monster closets and pda hunting while bringing it up to the standards of games like halo and half life
i think that if doom 3 pc was modded to have better guns and duct tape it'd probably be a lot better

[loud swan]

I finished lost mission, shamble castle, phobos and classic doom 3. I'm searching for new campaign mods to play. Any recommendations?

[azure wave]

still asking for help

[young talon]

random question: i am strange for loving Doom 3 with all of my heart?

most people don't like it i guess

[scenic stratus]

na

i like my doom spooky

[misty abyss]

there's nothing wrong with that

[young talon]

same

[young talon]

good

[scenic stratus]

i modded my old dooms to be more like 3

doom ce + darkdoomz, would recommend

[young talon]

i just dont want to feel like an oddball here, yk? i am kinda new in the community and on the Doom fandom

[scenic stratus]

• brighter gun flash so you get to see for a split sec

[misty abyss]

it's got some issues for sure but the more i play the more i see similarities to original games in the core design , overall a good time and without 3 we wouldn't have recent games either

[scenic stratus]

ye i feel 3 is true to tradition

[young talon]

so i am being careful to not be stupid

[scenic stratus]

64 was dark af and had spooky ambience instead of midi music

series was already going for that route

[young talon]

wish i could play Doom Eternal tho, but i still prefer the older games of every franchise (Same as Wolfenstein and Duke Nukem)

not because my laptop is not built for this

but because i like classics

[misty abyss]

well there are people who hate it with passion but upon observation not-doom debates seem to largely come from d2016 new bloods

[scenic stratus]

the two modern dooms are very quakey

theyre def faster than og dooms

[misty abyss]

yeah, then again how else would you go with all the verticality of 3D space

[scenic stratus]

i recently found out 3 has a setting to outright disable vertical aim

i presumed it would also enable vertical spread when shooting but it doesnt

i wonder how it feels to do the whole game like that lol

at first seems like it would be impossible but they probably tested this before including as a feature

[misty abyss]

that's pretty funny considering the lost souls and cacos

[scenic stratus]

ye even being much less vertical than 2016 onwards you still gotta aim up often

[young talon]

i hate the imps honestly

[scenic stratus]

lmao

doom 3 might be the closest a game ever got to depicting slaying babies

[young talon]

what???

that things with wings were babies???!

[scenic stratus]

when they first showed up i was honestly surprised id got away with it

[scenic stratus]

yes lmao

its so fucked up but i like when games are fucked up

[young talon]

i didnt noticed lol
i just kill EVERYTHING that comes near me in the game

[scenic stratus]

another cool doom 3 thing is how you can kill any npc you see

[misty abyss]

fuck cherubs, they're almost as annoying as trites, chainsaw em

[young talon]

i don't do it because....i generally like them

specially the one in the duct vents hiding from the demons

i felt sorry for him

[vast flax]

Never!

[young talon]

i hate Seargent Kelly

[scenic stratus]

only the ones at the start for me

the rest i spare

[young talon]

am i wrong?

[scenic stratus]

na

[young talon]

guy is a pain in the....

sadly we cannot kill him at the start

[scenic stratus]

hes authoritarian but he also gets possessed so we can forgive him for that part

[vast flax]

I lied I don't spare any of them except lantern guy

[young talon]

blasts his arse with the BFG 9000

[scenic stratus]

they get a worse fate if you spare them

[vast flax]

Fools they are already dead

[young talon]

i spare all of them, specially the guy in the ducts

[scenic stratus]

yea its a merciful decision to kill every single one of em

[vast flax]

I accidently forget am not supposed to attack everything on sight

Just another accident in mars

[scenic stratus]

lmao

[young talon]

i think the Marine is kinda...hot? idk

[scenic stratus]

never thought of him that way but he doesnt look bad

[vast flax]

Idk everyone in D3 has scary hands and faces

[young talon]

specially Betruger

ugh

[vast flax]

You weren't SHOCKED that he is the evil guy?

The guy who looks more like a demon than half the enemies?!

[scenic stratus]

fr super plot twist

seemed like such a nice fella

[young talon]

nah

[vast flax]

I don't really remember a single thing he said

[young talon]

only guys i can look at is the Marine and Swann

[vast flax]

Just how he looks lol

And I guess whatever he is doing in the ending of original D3 lmao

[young talon]

i hate Betruger and Kelly

hope they burn in hell

[young talon]

scary af

[scenic stratus]

did yall play bfg or og first

[young talon]

og

[scenic stratus]

next dhewm3 release is gonna have controller support

big w for controller players

its still in a rough state, steam input is better for that still

but still important add

[clear vapor]

finally.....

no need to suffer trough the keyboards again

[latent ridge]

ROE was less about the spooky

it's definitely more combat focused

[hollow storm]

so doom 3 isn't canon?

[jolly tangle]

not really. some aspects of the game were implemented into the newer games though, like the design of the hell night.

[cold trout]

Hell night

[clear vapor]

i see it as another doom marine being transferred to Mars instaed but set in the same timeline

[hollow storm]

Hell mite

[heavy island]

i don't exactly like the story direction of doom 2016 and eternal, as there are basically no onscreen humans and the night sentinel stuff is the type of fanservice bullshit that wipes its ass with the horror elements of doom 1

granted, doom 3 isn't the greatest in this regard because it doesn't have good guns and sometimes has slow setpieces like the lifts

but i find it to be the more compelling modernization of the action horror style of doom 1

[floral lagoon]

https://tenor.com/bUSd7.gif

Me going to slay!

[azure wave]

is there a doom 3 modding server

[latent ridge]

the sentinel stuff is just ugh

i couldn't care less just let me shoot things

at least give me a good story

[heavy island]

yeah i don't need to be told about my godlike reputation when the game is already a bit of a power fantasy

[latent ridge]

humans failing to fight the demons and letting them take over the planet thing was cool they should have focused WAY MORE on that

[heavy island]

i think also having the invasion happen around you like in doom 3 was a good idea

[latent ridge]

imagine if they had you go continent to continent clearing out demons

maybe teaming up with some humans like you do in TAG with the intern

so many missed opportunities with eternal

[hollow forge]

So what did you guys think of the flashlight game mechanic in vanilla Doom 3?

[misty abyss]

annoying, although it was a necessity back when it released looking at performance on machines from that time

[heavy island]

annoying, basic player melees in doom always suck (aside from blood punch)

[scenic stratus]

It added that extra element of making fighting a bit harder in dark corridors. Flashlight then shoot.

[misty abyss]

no it was just tedious, chore even, i prefer BFG edition solely because of the flashlight being like in other games

[pastel stone]

I was playing this last night and I saying to myself the first time I played it seemed so scary and hard lol

[clear vapor]

stupid

uac developed protals to hell but not flashlights on shoulders

[cunning helm]

so advanced but too lazy to add shoulder flashlights

[vast flax]

It was just a work accident

[clear vapor]

and olso short sleeves in the marines

no wonder why alot of them died they probably lost their arms

[vast flax]

those are for the morale boost

[heavy island]

surely the marine could steal some tape off the electrician's corpse

the one that was working in the duct thing on the way to the scientist

he could just pick that up and strap it to his smg

why they don't build it into the suit is beyond me, the base wasn't even that bright before the devil breaks free

[scenic stratus]

Good point. If they have the technology for inter-dimensional travel, with unlimited resources and funds too, then surely they could have Duct tape around. But then it would become like Dead Space if you think about it - resource gathering…

[clear vapor]

it would be cooler like that thats why i liked bfg edition a bit more now

[chrome seal]

Should I buy Doom 3?

huge steam sale rn, all the doom games are dirt cheap

[tawny nova]

i need some DESPERATE help

my doom 3 on steam has been stuck on installing for about 12 hours

tried uninstalling closing steam restarting pc allat

[scenic stratus]

its specifically so that you cant see shit and panic. its the game's quirk lol

ik it was a tech limitation of the time but the whole game was designed around switching between lights or weapons

in the darkness you have muzzle flashes, enemy eyes glowing, small momentary sources of light like that

[heavy island]

why not give the flashlight a battery

[swift shuttle]

im sure you guys answered it somewhere but doom 3 just isnt working for some reason, cant get into the game, when i trie roe it needs a key, i get the key from steam says its invalid

[viral briar]

Play with a source port instead, I recommend Dhewm3.

[clear vapor]

dhewm3 isnt compatible with all doom 3 mods

[lofty obsidian]

anybody know why my gun keeps randomly shooting in BFG edition?

it isnt my mouse, I've never had this problem ever and its newly bought

[scenic stratus]

bfg does that instead

[heavy island]

by battery i meant like the flashlight in half life

the way it works is that you turn it on whenever you want, with whichever weapon you want, but it drains quickly while it's on

and it recharges when left off

[clear vapor]

bfg edition does that but a bit too slow to die

[viral briar]

Do you think the D3 marine will be able to defeat Eternal’s super heavies well?

Fully loaded with every arsenal including the soul cube.

[latent glen]

It would be a challenge, but yes

But I think the challenging part would be the environment

[radiant gull]

doom 3 is so funny to me

it looks like the 'it starts with one thing' animtion

[rare phoenix]

Yeah only demons I can see really beating that are like the Marauders

[latent glen]

True

He doesn't really have the same mobility

[misty abyss]

now that you mention it, it would be hilarious to see marauder just being disintegrated by soul cube

[coral bobcat]

@polar bridge hey man what you playing

[polar bridge]

Doom 64

[coral bobcat]

oh wrong channel then

[vast flax]

What if they block it and then summon their annoying dog instead

[misty abyss]

Then uh oh! Try again when his eyes glow green

[crimson rain]

Hello, I'm Brazilian and I would like an original copy of Doom 3 on Steam, my name is kingnerd64 in steam

[vast flax]

instructions unclear killed him with D3 BFG without trying

[worldly gorge]

Is there a discord or community for multiplayer

[clear vapor]

who even plays doom 3 mp

[worldly gorge]

was trying to figure out how to join "the lounge" server. installed emz and now i'm in. anyone know the admins or if theres a community associated with the server?

[scenic stratus]

damn tho i get lost in doom 3 alot

[clear vapor]

Thats every doom game

[worldly gorge]

Why is this person so helpful

[latent glen]

Hot Take but Doom 3 has the best plasma rifle design out of all the doom games

Doom 2016 close second tho

[scenic stratus]

yeah i agree

[wanton needle]

Started playing bfg edition and enjoyed the hour or so I played, but a guy at work told me the original is better and so I switched and god damn he was right

[tepid gyro]

So how do I not play BFG edition on Playstation?

@ me if you respond

[scenic stratus]

only pc

[tepid gyro]

Damnit

[scenic stratus]

or phone with delta touch

its not very demanding

[tepid gyro]

Not smart enough for that

[gloomy bridge]

"The Devil is Real. I know... ** I built his cage**"

[scenic stratus]

Damn tho I never know when I walk through a door in doom 3 if a imp is waiting there

[supple gull]

It's funny how zombies are conveniently in trap places less than 5 minutes into the invasion, like the ones where the first shotgun is.

[wanton needle]

That drop is awesome. I actually jumped when it happened lol

[clear vapor]

If you have a jailbroken console playing the original is smooth on linux ps4

[delicate citrus]

Try making a habit of hiding behind corners of the door or sprinting backwards as soon as you open the door.

[latent glen]

Doom 3 had the worst Shotgun out of all the Doom games

But it sounded the best

[misty abyss]

no, it doesn't sound punchy, which is fitting considering how underwhelmingly it performs

[pastel stone]

I’ve been playing bfg edition and I feel the pistol is very lack luster, I have a feeling that’s why they took it out of doom eternal, didn’t really have a purpose

[latent glen]

You have a point, but to me it sounds "more full" if that makes sense than doom 2016s shotgun.

Bc I feel like Doom 2016 was kinda empty when it came to sound effects, like the grenade

[misty abyss]

Grenade? Sure, certainly not the shotgun tho

[abstract fable]

Interesting I thought 2016 guns sounded amazing, but Eternal's sounded empty and plastic laser toy ish.

I do agree with 2016's grenade being bad.

But Gauss Cannon, SSG, heavy cannon, the three burst mod from the Shotgun, and chaingun all sound fantastic in 2016.

[abstract fable]

The scoped shooting of the HAR sounds like a fully auto .50 cal.

The micro missiles are orgasmic too.

[abstract fable]

Yeah the only Doom 3 weapons I liked was the BFG, Plasma Rifle, and chainsaw

[latent glen]

I do agree some, but in my opinion eternals sounded better, except the chaingun that's what sounded like plastic to me

[abstract fable]

Also Eternal's Heavy Cannon base fire sounds like a stapler, and Eternal's SSG sounds horrible

[latent glen]

True

[abstract fable]

Micro missiles when buffed sound good, but without the buff, then the micro missiles sound like cheap confetti firework toys

[latent glen]

This might js be me but I did not like eternal rocket launcher design at all

[abstract fable]

Ballista is okay sounding, but doesn't really compare to the Gauss Cannon IMO

Ballista is somewhat laser toy-ish comparatively

[abstract fable]

I like it with custom skins

2016 rocket launcher looked a bit too Halo 5-ish

[latent glen]

I prefer 2016s rocket launcher bc it looked more military-ish

[abstract fable]

But I did think the Eternal rocket launcher had much weaker sounds than 2016's lock on burst.

2016's lock on burst was extremely heavy, loud, and strong sounding

[latent glen]

Yeah

[abstract fable]

Eternal's lock on burst has a cool metal clank, but you don't hear anything else very well, like the explosion is super quiet

[latent glen]

Also I loved seeing the actual rocket coming from 2016s rather than a small ball of fire in eternal

[abstract fable]

2016 had really strong explosion effects from micro missiles and the rocket launcher.

Looked very realistic in terms of explosions

[latent glen]

Yeah js wished the explosions were bigger

[abstract fable]

Also glory kills in 2016 sounded a lot crunchier and harsher.

Eternal's kinda sounds like weak slices and slaps lol for the glory kills

I like the chainsaw sound effects though for both games

[latent glen]

Yeah but I did like the variety in eternal

[abstract fable]

True. Eternal's more varied, but 2016 was more metal and crunchy. (Bare hands approach especially)

[latent glen]

True

[abstract fable]

I like Eternal's blood punch sound. It's pretty cool

Also the hammer sound is great

[latent glen]

The I never really used blood punch except for cyber mancubus

And maybe a hell night here and tere

[abstract fable]

Blood punch is broken AF, if you stack health and armor drops, you can blood punch chain for a long time

You're untouchable

The hammer in TAG 2 makes it even easier to do that

Big reason why World Spear Master Level is fun

[latent glen]

I haven't played the dlcs yet but I want to

[abstract fable]

Yeah.

It's an unpopular opinion, but The Holt and Reclaimed Earth are my favorite levels of the DLCs.

But idk if you heard of those levels or not

[latent glen]

Nah

[abstract fable]

Then I will say nothing further about them

[latent glen]

The chaingun in eternal kinda sucks in terms of look and sound

It's the gun I used the least

Although it did have better mods

The Gatling rotator in 2016 was kinda useless

[abstract fable]

I thought it was really good actually

[abstract fable]

Yeah true. Though it's the most overpowered weapon in the game with that energy shield mod that's basically God mode, and has broken shield launching and shield bash

But it looks and sounds pathetic

[latent glen]

It looks like if they tried to upgrade the pistol in 2016, with the blue energy type of bullets. Looks like a powerful water gun

I like 2016s bc of the chrome and metallic look

[abstract fable]

2016 chaingun looked awesome and Mobile turret sounded phenomenal

[latent glen]

Yeah

Especially with haste

[abstract fable]

I even like the Gatling Rotator SFX.

The fleshy sounds it hits against enemies is great

And it has a cool suppressor type sound

[latent glen]

Mobile Turret + Infinite Ammo Rune + Haste + Quad Damage = God

[latent glen]

Yeah but it kinda felt lack luster, maybe if it had incendiary rounds or were more similar to the Heavy Canons experimental rounds with the scope mod

[abstract fable]

I think it works really well on quick swap combos. It's kinda a similar role to the full auto in Eternal

Also I prefer using Gatling Rotator over mobile turret because it winds up faster

[cursive gulch]

Do you use shield bash?

[latent glen]

Nah

[blissful gulch]

yeah same gatling rotator is a decent mod if you compare it to the stock chaingun

the mastery gives you more damage at max firerate

(around maybe 2x)

[toxic shale]

Doom 3 Lore - Sabaoth Anatomy Explained - Making of Doom 3 Book - Deleted Story - Betruger Secrets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjqc0vUSbXY

[abstract fable]

I think it's good to implement in quick swap combos.

Mobile turret is way too slow to utilize well in quick swap combos

It works a similar role as Eternal's full auto.

[cunning helm]

[obsidian grotto]

i remeber playing doom 3 before and to me it was like a horror game i got jumpscares so many times XD

[trail otter]

Boo

[obsidian grotto]

haha very funny

[proud plinth]

How to enter slayers club in doom 3?

[scenic stratus]

Just got doom 3

[scenic stratus]

play it ! :D

I am

[scenic stratus]

then after that , play doom 3 roe and lost mission !!! 😄

[random sundial]

What version are you playing?

[scenic stratus]

BFG

On switch

[random sundial]

Damn alright

[misty abyss]

it's pretty playable on switch so I don't see the problem

also barely consumes battery on go

[ocean ridge]

cuz its an old ass game with easily renderable graphics! a big plus of enjoying the classics on modern hardware

[misty abyss]

well yeah, game even works at nearly lowest system performance preset of Steam Deck just fine

[scenic stratus]

Imagine one of two things.

1. Doom 3 BFG on a i7 13700k/RTX 3090 Ti on Windows 7

2. Doom 3 BFG on an i3 9100f/GTX 460 on Windows 2000 (or even the original D3)

Which one do u think is better ?!

[ocean ridge]

windows 7?????? 2 by a long shot

[scenic stratus]

I am experiencing both , they are both sweet. My main rig has Win7 but I really would love to daily drive 2000 again, even if it meant with the extended kernel

The thing is I have a 3840x1080 monitor @ 144 Hz on my main rig so Doom 3 BFG looks good on it. Too bad vanilla Doom 3 does not support it properly , because it is even lighter , and it still looks awesome. I do not get why modern games are so unoptimized, and Doom 3 is pretty much the only game I truly am in to !

[ocean ridge]

well 7 is kinda insecure so i wouldnt daily drive it

but i understand from a nostalgia standpoint

i need to try d3bfg at 1440p

[scenic stratus]

Eh , its ok , and I believe it will still get updates until January 2026. Steam also still works on 7

[ocean ridge]

it shouldnt

i think new updates after jan 1 2024 dropped support for anything below 10

[scenic stratus]

Despite valve saying it will "stop running on 7/8.x" on January 1st, the latest version still works perfectly. In fact, they only just switched from Chromium 85 to 109 back on January 18th, which is the last Chromium version that officially supports 7

[ocean ridge]

so its a clock ticking down

[scenic stratus]

I believe they only said that to scare people to switching to 10/11 because they are super lazy

they dont want to support 7 or 8.x

and yes I am running the beta channel too

[scenic stratus]

Steam even still partially works on XP, although downloads do not work, and for Vista with extended kernel there is a modded steam client from December 15 2022, where downloads STILL work. It is actually very easy to prevent steam from updating, so even when the latest version DOES stop running on 7, the latest version that DOES run on 7 will still probably work for at least a few years before starting to have issues

[ocean ridge]

steamcmd should work for downloads on everything right

[scenic stratus]

possibly

I know for sure there isnt a store but I havent really used it

[random sundial]

I forgot Windows 2000 was an actual thing for a second and thought we were making up some super advanced future windows

[bleak island]

chat 👍 if you like doom 3

idk

[scenic stratus]

it may be old , but old is Gold and 2000 is quite possibly the best Windows ever (well NT4 if it had better DirectX support but that isnt its fault)

A lot of people seem to think XP is far better for gaming than 2000 but that simply isnt true, considering 2000 and XP both support DX9

Late 2000s and early 2010s games technically can run on 2000 but they are artifically locked to XP

[random sundial]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/832527939153297448/1215739879711969320/image.png

[young talon]

i use the second option but with windows 10

[scenic stratus]

I think vanilla Doom 3 on 2000 is pretty cool, but running the BFG edition on a 49 inch ultrawide on Win7 is also cool

[young talon]

must be

[scenic stratus]

Should I now load up Doom 3 on 2000.

My retro 2000 rig with Intel 9100f and GTX 460

2 1080p monitor

[young talon]

i dunno, because i play on a modern office laptop

[scenic stratus]

Doom 3 on Win10 or 11 is less fun imo. Even running the BFG edition on them is not as fun. Doom 3 and Doom 3 BFG on my 2000 rig pretty much loads instantly

[young talon]

i have a win 7 laptop

but how tf i will download it?

[scenic stratus]

Steam

[young talon]

steam stopped working on win 7

[scenic stratus]

That is simply not true. The latest version of Steam still works on 7.

[young talon]

but it gave me a warning

It says at the red banner on the top: "Steam will stop running on Windows 7 in 0 days." Ironically enough, as of January 18th in the beta channel they switched from Chromium 85 to 109, which is the last version of Chromium that supports Windows 7 and 8 natively. I think it has something to do with Valve being really lazy, and not wanting to support 7 and 8 users, which is horrible

For all we know Steam may keep getting updated on 7 for the rest of 2024.

And even after it stops getting updates that work it is super easy to block updates, which will keep the client going on 7 and 8 for at least another few years.

For the time being though, the latest steam build (March 7th) still works on 7 and 8.

[young talon]

oh

[scenic stratus]

yup , my main laptop (dell inspiron 7720 from 2013) dual boots 7 pro and server 2016 standard , and that server 2016 install is my only win10 install of all my computers.

[ocean ridge]

storage: 1gb available space

[frosty holly]

yeah really lazy to stop maintaining a outdated operating system from

2009

even lazier that they dont support MS DOS

trash company

[scenic stratus]

Well its whatever. It works just fine.

[frosty holly]

Also, Win11 Pro works just fine.

Uninstalled all the Bloatware, No Microsoft Account, Blocked most of the "Phone Home" BS, Restored some old Start Menu features with a one click tool.
So if youre really against all the new MS shit, there are ways to make it work.

[scenic stratus]

Why would I go through all of that , when with 7 I can just install it and it works ? My extremely bloated 2000 install on my other computer only uses around 250MB of ram at boot. It is awesome.

[frosty holly]

Better scheduler on win11, which uses resources way more efficiently.
Even on my old ass PC, win11 runs smoother than any other MS OS

Also, win7 is outdated. Security reasons alone say

And all those "fixes" and modifications i made were done in 1hr tops....
So not that big of a deal lol

[scenic stratus]

7 still gets security updates until at least October and I tested my CPU performance on Passmark Performancetest 10 and 11. My 13700k on 7 is still around where it should be (around 47000 pts).

[ocean ridge]

and bypassnro still works !!

[ancient bridge]

Hello 👋

How you guys doing

[rain drum]

So my library lets you check out video games and they have the BFG edition

I know the port has issues but...I did play the original xbox release long time ago, with the flashlight

[ocean ridge]

bfg edition is improved for new systems.. idk if theres much else ive only played the original

[azure wave]

quick question, can the game pass version of doom 3 be modded? i need help installing a third person mod

[clear vapor]

Its basically the bfg edition withdout 1-2 so in theory yes

[dull wigeon]

BFG Edition deleting more content each re-release.
Also they remove the multiplayer in that version.
That's just depressing. What's next remove RoE and the Lost Mission as well?

Doom 3 deserves a better remaster, with all the legacy content restored and fixes for the crap that already was messed in the BFG edition since the start. Starting for just add the og flashback again.

[ocean ridge]

hopefully the next new doom will take inspiration from 3

the mars maps in doom 2016 were really cool to traverse i wish they toyed with it more

[dull wigeon]

Or maybe some day we will get a remake of Doom 3 with the same level of quality as Dead Space or the RE remakes

[viral briar]

A remake of Doom 3 in id Tech 7 would be cool I think.

[placid vector]

Can we talk lore in these channel ?

[jagged leaf]

ofc

[placid vector]

Thank you, i don't know if some people believe that still

But i really think that the Doom 3 guy isn't the Doom Guy from Doom 1 to Eternal

[candid estuary]

i mean, isnt that why hes called doom marine?

[ocean ridge]

i think the lore is that there are several parallel universes that all connect to the same hell.

so yeah they are the same doom guy just in a different universe

[clear vapor]

It olso can't reach 120fps right...

Unlike bfg steam

[scenic stratus]

Doom 3 BFG 3840 x 1080 @ 144 Hz

[scenic stratus]

doom 3 shotgun💀

[frosty holly]

isnt the original vanilla doom 3 kinda hardcapped at 60FPS?

i remember that unlocking fps just speeds up the engine

not that any pc could do high fps in doom 3 anyway back than

[scenic stratus]

is there no streaming area?

[jagged leaf]

it's a stand-in for the Slayer in the doom 3 universe

moreso a parallel universe variant

[scenic stratus]

doom 3 shotgun made me wanna throw my pc

[clear vapor]

the bfg edition

[barren coral]

You have to use console commands to enable 144 fps in fullscreen. Otherwise full screen is capped to 60 frames - regardless of what you've set in the options, or what Steam Overlay tells you, it's very clearly ~60 FPS

But for whatever reason, Windowed mode runs at any framerate just fine. If you alt tab in full screen mode after using commands to set your framerate it re-locks to 60 frames

[craggy relic]

I want that doomusy

[open jetty]

Doom marine is the slayer, looks the same as blaskowitz. Impervious to psychological effects of going to hell.

Can survive BFG rounds

[limpid crane]

which is recommended to mod : Doom 3 or BFG Edition

[open jetty]

I prefer modded original by far, don't like most bfg changes though

Bfg is a lot easier and looks worse

[misty abyss]

don't see the difference in vusuals

[open jetty]

There are literally more light sources in levels

At the same time they disabled certain special effects and even changed weapon sfx

Oh yea RoE is flat out missing an area in bfg

[scenic stratus]

63

and despises vsync

shotgun underrated

the need for close range for better damage encourages you to run around which is doom

[misty abyss]

it's just plain unreliable because even if you do that there's good chance it's not gonna do desired damage because of damage and spread rng

[scenic stratus]

its reliable if youre at melee range

[misty abyss]

sometimes

[scenic stratus]

like it gotta be enough range that the spread rng doesnt have enough space to work

and blop sound is cool

[open jetty]

All but like 3 enemies can be killed with flashlight, relatively shotgun op lol

[limpid crane]

just beat doom 3

games great but
||There should've been more to the game instead of ending on the death of the cyberdemon. Maybe Icon of Sin?||

[open jetty]

I agree should've been twice as long 🙂

[random sundial]

It is a weird final boss, especially odd considering how it's obviously a science project yet that grants it like, mystical invulnerability or something

[open jetty]

It continues in roe. It was the strongest demon, it makes sense human weapons couldn't scratch it they barely worked against weak ones, Martian ones however.

[limpid crane]

im trying to play perfected doom 3

for some reason it keeps crashing at random times

[open jetty]

Probably running out of ram, did you use 4gb patch ?

[quartz relic]

Why does the main theme go so hard

[open jetty]

Guy from tweaker and former nine inch nails drummer made the music looks like

[slim willow]

[scenic stratus]

tool inspired

which is a band that goes hard

[scenic stratus]

doom 4 when

[viral briar]

Lateralus.

[open jetty]

Yea I remember thinking it was tool when I first watched the doom 3 announcement 😂

[cunning helm]

jumpscares are making me give up and actually have a heart attack

i hate imps

[open jetty]

You get used to it if you keep it up haha

[misty abyss]

doom 3 jumpscares are pretty weak

you get a good few seconds to see the imp before it lunges at you

and in that time you can either sprint forward with shotgun (and maybe kill it) or sprint back

[open jetty]

[viral briar]

UV Tyson on Doom 3?

[misty abyss]

maybe, depending on how you look at it, but its legacy has spread out to 2016 and eternal

[viral zephyr]

doom 3 is 4 dollars on steam right now

[plush epoch]

3 is good

Not a typical Doom game but a nice try for a horror shooter

[frosty holly]

Thanks for sharing your dogshit opinion.

[sage jackal]

doom 3 is not a doom
doom doesn't equal to mystery, equals to killing demons

[frosty holly]

Doom 3 is a DOOM game.
It's in the name.

[sage jackal]

yeah, i can respect it
but yeah, its quite mid, not saying is bad though

[frosty holly]

Personal Opinion

[sage jackal]

yeah
opinions are opinions, and if you don't agree, just ignore them

[jagged leaf]

imho doom 3's a better doom game than eternal ever was

[sage jackal]

i respect your opinion ig

[jagged leaf]

first person super mario with occasional quake sprinkles

[frosty holly]

How dare i responding to another persons message on a chat app

[sage jackal]

idk

[frosty holly]

And if you say a game is bad or not part of the franchise, on the official server of that very franchise, of course some people wont agree

[sage jackal]

anyways its my opinion though

[cold trout]

So basically you come here saying "Doom doesn't equal to mystery, equals to killing demons" and that's the reason of why Doom 3 is, as you said, "quite mid". And you call that an opinion?
You could mention a lot of things about it, but that's like the most NPC opinion on Doom 3 since there's a lot of people that just wants to "Rip and tear until it's done" and that's enough for them to not consider this game worth enough.

[sage jackal]

and you got mad by an opinion

[rose field]

wow

long text = mad guys

[cold trout]

Ummm, i think that's you man

I'm fine

[rose field]

negative social skills

[cold trout]

As you said "It's just an opinion"

[sage jackal]

im not going to continue this argument

[rose field]

disgrace to earthbound fandom 🙄

[cold trout]

Thank you

[sage jackal]

huh

wdym

[rose field]

not that deep

[sage jackal]

i dont really like to get in arguments

[rose field]

nice attitude honestly

[cold trout]

Then don't leave your opinions like that xD

[sage jackal]

ok

[scenic stratus]

but the key cards and secrets and stuff

and theres the spooky ps1 version and 64

[sage jackal]

every doom game has secrets

[scenic stratus]

doom has these 2 sides to it kinda like the resident evil series, 3 focused on the spooky for some reasons including showing off the lighting

i dig the current slayer era tho its good

[open jetty]

3 is only scary if there's a skill issue. The demons are in cabinets because they are scared of you.(at least in my game lol)

1 shell is enough for everything up to and including commando and you get 150 in the first 15 mins and reload 2 at once lmao

[sage jackal]

next month im gonna buy doom 3 with doom 64

even if i don't like doom 3, i wanna have all the doom saga on steam

[open jetty]

Proud

[open jetty]

Most unexplainable thing in doom is the marine outside of command hq casually keeping his post, unarmed waiting to be strangled by a zombie

S holmes my boy why

[bronze ferry]

is doom 3 even worth playing

i have all the doom platinums besides 3

[open jetty]

3 is my favourite, most unique one. Has about 90% positive reviews across 3 scoring sites too so there's that to consider

[short heath]

is there a way to get 16:9 and 1920x1080 on doom 3?

(original)

[frosty holly]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=647910391

works for the retail version and the vanilla doom 3 release on steam*

make sure to up every other "Detail" option in the settings first

[short heath]

thanks

[frosty holly]

otherwise, the next time you change something in the settings, the 1080p fix gets overwritten

[tepid gyro]

I finally beat all the campaigns of Doom 3

[jagged leaf]

it's because the others took the weaponry

hence why the entire level's filled with former comrades

[open jetty]

But he was a marine with a MG standing at his post, after the invasion he is still standing there, looking down the same hall, but without his gun and casually let's a zombie walk up and choke him.

Didn't move 1 step and doesn't have a scratch

[scenic stratus]

nightmare Mode ?!

with Secret ?!

[tepid gyro]

No marine

[scenic stratus]

Next do the nightmare mode .

[tepid gyro]

Nah, Marine is pain enough.

[open jetty]

Lost mission boss on nightmare gonna be fun lol

[open jetty]

Omg you don't even get the cube

[cold trout]

You do

I beat it yesterday and i thought the same, but you do get it

From the start

[open jetty]

I have it but can't use it and its not charging, can you only use it later or do I have a glitch

[cold trout]

Are you playing it on the bfg edition?

Idk if it exists out of it xD

[open jetty]

That is a very good point, no I'm not lmao

[cold trout]

Oh

Makes sense

[open jetty]

It does exist but seems to do nothing

[cold trout]

What a shame

It's really useful

[open jetty]

I guess thats like, ultra nightmare then right? No health or cube

[cold trout]

Yeah, the good thing about it it's that is short

[open jetty]

Idk if i can beat the last boss with 25hp and no cube but ill try lmao

[cold trout]

Just use the bfg and you'll be fine

You get a lot of charges

[open jetty]

True infinite stamina op

[cold trout]

fr

That's why i love hell

No limited movement

[open jetty]

Sentry bot can tank multiple revenants/imps and win on nightmare, so much more dangerous UAC invention than the BFG tbh

It beats hellknights too alright

[azure wave]

can doom 3 on pc game pass be modded

trying to install a third person mod

[twin jewel]

sss

[cold trout]

Is anyone up to play some multi? It would be at 6:30 p.m UTC (3 hours from now basically)
I'm trying to get the steam achievements with a friend of mine but i also need another person to get the double kill achievement

Please dm me

:^)

[neon owl]

id be down to! i cant guarantee that time would work for me, but im also free over the weekend if youd want a guaranteed time

[cold trout]

Anyone up rn?

[honest edge]

For wat

[cold trout]

.

I'm just missing the 2 kills achievement D:

[short heath]

is doom 3 canon?

[rose field]

yes

[oblique bison]

for the PDA's theres 2 people you could kill for their PDA's right after you get your gun does those 2 count for the achievement?

[clear vapor]

Yeah

At least what i remember playing the bfg edition on the ps3

I dont know if the modern consoles the same

[oblique bison]

ok thanks just got done with alpha labs 4 on veteren difficulty

[honest edge]

I got big fucking gun edition on xbox 360

[clear vapor]

Not gona lie but that level is probably one of the scariest doom levels ever

The more i think about it

[oblique bison]

ok and theres some areas i see that i can't get to which sucks

[honest edge]

that level is long and hard

[scenic stratus]

we need a doom 3 remaster, doom 3 was fun but there needs to be a remaster

[spice hinge]

So, new to the game. Slayer's Collection, Switch. What I can piece together is that Doom 3 is more action horror compared to the pure action of classic Doom. Am I supposed to have stupid amounts of ammo, then? Everything except grenades is in reserve triple digits...

[open jetty]

Yea there is wayyyy too much ammo in the unmodded game, shoot lots lol

[spice hinge]

And here I thought I'd need to use the Pistol to conserve ammo on the heavy hitting weapons... No. Machine Gun is spammable, Shotgun is pretty good for closer ranges(things go down in 3-4 shots). Grenades are... forgotten.

[open jetty]

Shotgun will literally never run out, MG can actually run out if you aim bad at spidets, some fights are long

What map are you on actually?

Spiders*

[spice hinge]

The only thing that ISN'T basically always full is my health. Because my aim is bad, and learning to dodge/kite...
Doom 3 campaign, Alpha Labs sector 2 right now.

I'm assuming this is VERY early game. Oh, Recruit difficulty, btw.

[open jetty]

Oh yea thats still pretty early, if you want enemies to die quicker play on veteran, its not actually really harder

Recruit should be called classic vet should be called tactical imo lol

[oblique bison]

i wish the double barrel shotgun was in this game but its not

[open jetty]

Its in roe and tlm

[spice hinge]

There's a built in flashlight, which tells me this is the most up to date/BFG edition of the game. Is the whole Slayer's Collection like this, or just Doom 3? (In terms of new/altered features and content). It was either get Eternal or the Slayer's Collection. Bang for your buck, you know? Bunch of games I vaguely understand VS. one I know nothing about!

Sorry to drop a wall of text here... But is Eternal worth it, just to complete the whole amount of Doom that's on the Switch? Buying it at a discount someday, obviously! Kinda spent the rest of my funds on this...

[open jetty]

BFG version is different than original doom 3, the classics should be the same still

I personally liked eternal a lot, didn't play it on switch though, worth it on sale easily

[oblique bison]

whats tlm?

[open jetty]

The lost missions

[oblique bison]

right duh brain fart lol

[rustic wind]

DOOM 64 is the real doom 3

[supple gull]

I see it as the real Doom 2

[open jetty]

Bfg is a demaster

Mounted flashlight and new lights look bad, some missing content, mostly worse textures than original, new sounds, most of them worse

[scenic stratus]

that i have on steam

which i am not playing

[dull wigeon]

I hope someday Nightdive do their magic on Doom 3 and create a proper remaster than recapture the magic of the original, and even improve on that version.

There's a lot of stuff that would be nice to see added in a remaster of D3.
Coop mode (this was even a thing in the og Xbox port) horde mode, a new expansion, art gallery (this also featured in the og Xbox port) model gallery, the alpha levels as bonus content.

[misty abyss]

having flashlight mounted is the reason i play bfg edition over original

[scenic stratus]

cant

because i wont

and it is not for sale anymore so why would i refund it

or idk

[supple gull]

BFG Edition pussifies the main game and ROE heavily, like less enemies and more ammo. Then there's ROE's toxic part...

[supple gull]

Once downloaded a mod that made regular zombies run at you. Scared the shit out of me. Forgot what it was called though.

[honest edge]

Doom 3 scares the shit out of me sometimes

[scenic stratus]

On god

[candid hearth]

But also doom 3 has the same engine of half life 2

[misty abyss]

no it doesn't

HL2 runs on Source and D3 runs on id Tech 4

[candid hearth]

I saw a video that said that doom 3 was the reason why half life 2 engine exist

[honest edge]

Wrong

[candid hearth]

Ah so I've been lied to

[honest edge]

Only valve use source engine

[misty abyss]

they're completely different engines , although source still has lots of visible quake in it

[honest edge]

[misty abyss]

if you need an example on just how ahead of the time id Tech 4 was play Prey (2006)

this game visually still holds up very well

[sturdy seal]

Plan on playing doom bfg deathmatch on xbox series x tommorow at 12 yall wanna join let me know

[sturdy seal]

Gamertag is outragedbison40

[blissful gulch]

never play eternal on the switch unless you want to endure yourself to that

15 fps and no quick switching

(quick switching can only be done on a switch pro controller)

[misty abyss]

never had 15 fps in DE on switch, is your switch faulty?

[devout sorrel]

eternal on switch is the worst way to play, but not exactly bad

[devout sorrel]

i recommend watching this video to make a decision https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d9bgoLzC4s

hl2 development began in 1999

[supple gull]

Is it weird that I thought Trites were a separate faction of monsters when I was younger?

[rustic wind]

Doom 3 is the real doom 64

[misty abyss]

it could have been if it wasn't 7 minutes but 7 hours in hell

😔

[rustic wind]

What you mean by that I’ve never played doom 3

[misty abyss]

just play it

you'll get the joke

[zealous blaze]

It's been a long time since I've loaded up D3 and I have to say it has aged really well. Revisiting it makes me think that id Software borrowed some from System Shock.

Hitting that room with first pinky cutscene brought back so much nostalgia.

[fossil imp]

playing doom 3 bfg edition rn, about an hour or so in and it already feels like its getting repetitive
i am constantly losing health (probably just a skill issue on my part but the enemies seem to have such a high damage and time to kill)
the guns are... awful. just awful. the shotgun takes like 3 years to fire again after a shot, and the smg/p90 thingy is the only decent one so far, and you're constantly reloading it
also the rooms and hallways all seem the exact same

i like survival horror but it doesnt feel... scary, just annoying when things that r meant to build up tension just dont do that and instead become an annoyance

plus enemies seem to always hit you no matter what so you could just stand there and shoot without moving and jump around like crazy and still lose a load of health no matter what

loved doom 64, classic and 2 but i was gonna play through them in order (i know doom 3 is a separate timeline from the rest, but chronological release seemed more manageable) but im thinking of just skipping 3 if it keeps like this and i dont usually skip games

im also sort of impatient lmao

[sturdy seal]

Any body wanna get on xbox live and play doom 3 bfg looking too game in evening

[rustic wind]

Doom 3 bfg edition: bfg edition

[vale wharf]

[candid hearth]

GORDAN FREEMAN

[scenic stratus]

thats cause ur doing bfg

[fossil imp]

what's the difference tho? i feel like having the flashlight not be separate on the main version was annoying, and more enemies + less ammo would make it even more annoying than it already is in bfg,

are there any other major differences from the og - bfg

[scenic stratus]

excess darkness and having to either shoot or light up your path is the whole schtick of this game

bfg lacks a bunch of cool lighting effects from the original

makes it look too flat

[sturdy seal]

Anybody down for some deatmatch doom bfg xbox live

[zealous blaze]

Doom 3 throws fewer but tougher enemies at you. Even imps can be a threat. But they also die to a shotgun blast to the chest. Using corners and your sprint will make things easier on you. Throwing jumps in too can make you agile as hell.

Let imp throw fire -> sprint in and deliver shotgun directly to the stomach -> dead imp.

BFG edition takes away from the tension the original caused due to flashlight swapping mechanics but the original flashlight was also rightly and widely criticized.

[scenic stratus]

not rightly. games should be different

its like when ppl complain about gta 4 driving physics
dont
it makes for an unique challenge

[zealous blaze]

BFG should at least offer the option to play with the traditional flashlight mechanic.

[rose field]

who told you this

[candid hearth]

YouTuber named raitro

[sturdy seal]

Guess nobody wanna multiplayer

[rose field]

misinformation

quake engine -> goldsrc -> source

quake engine -> id tech 3 -> id tech 4

source and id tech 4 have MASSIVE rewrites

[scenic stratus]

I have it on switch and its pretty good for what it is.

[zealous blaze]

YouTubers will say anything.

[fossil imp]

oh ok thats good, bfg marines take like 3 shotgun blasts before dying

or it seems like that at least

[zealous blaze]

The shotgun has a pretty sharp damage falloff in D3 as you've probably well noticed. They can die in 1. Sprinting in to deliver a shotgun round at point blank before dipping back around a corner while you rack a fresh shell can do a lot of work.

When it's regular marines, especially SMG bois, I lurk that corner and catch each one when it pops around. If the shotgun isn't enough with corner cheesing and sprint shotting that's when the SMG comes out.

And if you're playing PC then headshots do extra damage too.

Regular zombies still get the pistol though.

[narrow badge]

Can anyone help me with sikkmod? Basically none of the graphical features play nice with my machine.

[oblique bison]

i am on the monarail chapter after the cutscene with the revenant

[scenic stratus]

this game and gt4 were absolute top graphics in 2004

[scenic stratus]

doom 3 runs on id4 engine

[zealous blaze]

oh yeah, Doom 3 was to the Xbox what Silent Hill 3 was to the PS2. the fact these games ran and smoothly (reasonably for D3 sometimes) on that hardware was wild

[oblique bison]

sucks theres no cutscene for the cherub or whatever its spelled

[supple gull]

The smaller enemies don't get intros, except for Lost Souls

[ocean ridge]

technically no; they've licensed it out several times to community and other companies

id love to use it actually

im super at home with it

[scenic stratus]

yee silent hill games looked real good back in the day

[fossil imp]

im gonna take the chats advice and try to restart on doom 3 og instead of bfg edition, what difficulty should i play on (either marine or veteran)

also any idea how to fix the ungodly resolution on og doom 3?

[misty abyss]

look up console commands

[misty abyss]

There's barely any difference, really, atleast from my experience

[fossil imp]

oh okay so it doesnt really matter between the two?

[misty abyss]

there should be differences but i honestly don't really see them? enemies seem a bit more aggressive but ammo , health and damage you take certainly don't change

at the end of day you'll still be running up to them with shotgun and hoping it will one shot the bastards or pick them out with machine gun

[fossil imp]

okay wow i installed the enhanced edition and this is actually really good now
the shotgun feels... SO MUCH BETTER and i dont think anything even changed, resolution is insanely good compared to bfg after some tweaking, and i actually think the flashlight changing is a good idea

now i see why people like d3 og over bfg

[misty abyss]

shotgun is literally the same, just sounds worse

[scenic stratus]

download dhewm3 source port

[scenic stratus]

that works too, but i rec dhewm3 if you ever wanna go vanilla

[dry idol]

ж

[fossil imp]

is there a doom 3 mod that unlocks all the code-locked doors in doom 3? ruins the immersion having to tab out and google or pull out your phone to google the codes for the lockers

i dont really understand why they are code-locked

[oblique bison]

you find a certain PDA and they will have the code or just google it

[ocean ridge]

cough

[zealous blaze]

my man, if you don't know or can't find the code it is fine to pass them. the vast majority are just nice modest resupply pickups.

a brief search of the surrounding area will usually turn up the code you need. looking for it is part of the immersion.

if I can't find a code after a couple minutes then it's time to move on or give the most recent PDA another listen in case I missed it

[scenic stratus]

Are you the Pepsi logo?

[upbeat sleet]

everytime i try to change the screen resolution it simply never works

what do i do😔

[oblique bison]

i just got to hell forgot you lose all of your weapons ugh

[zealous blaze]

It's the Stealie. Also, the music never stopped.

[scenic stratus]

download dhewm3

[upbeat sleet]

install what now

[oblique bison]

yeah probably

[oblique bison]

they did? when?

[oblique bison]

oh ok and is Doom 2016 the sequal to Doom 3?

oh ok so 2016 is after 64?

ok thanks

[weary shell]

PLEASE HELP! I just bought doom 3 on steam and it’s asking for a CD key, The CD key is already in but why and what is ROE Code? Why is it asking all this stuff when I just bought their game, Also I don’t think I can refund it now because I have had it for 14 days

[misty abyss]

did you open resurrection of evil yet?

if not - do that

then it should stop with cd keys

[weary shell]

Is that the dlc?

[misty abyss]

yes

although listed in library as a different game

[weary shell]

So I should open up the dlc and it will let me play?

[noble whale]

Hey guys, wondering if anybody knows the answer: is there a way to enhance the bfg ports of the dos games without outright swapping them for another port?

I want to change the resolution so it doesn't hurt my damn eyes. Doom 1 and 2's modern ports don't have achievements on steam but the BFG versions of the games do so I wanna platinum them

Okay nevermind I guess the game initially loaded the ports at incorrect resolutions for some reason? Now they look perfect, is there anyway to get widescreen on it or is that impossible?

[noble whale]

I do have those ports, I actually beat 2 for the first time on it on UV and it was fantastic but they have no achievements. Very great ports but I want to have a platinum for one of these games at least, so since BFG has achievements for those games I wanted to optimize them but honestly I think after playing for a bit that they're fine as is

Thanks for the advice though

It's sad too because they have achievements on Xbox but not on steam

Idk why they weren't implemented but I've also heard that it's challenging to implement but Bethesda's p big

They would know how right lol

[honest edge]

Right click on doom 3 on steam u should be able to see something that is the cd key

[oblique bison]

In the serverbanks there's some ammo high but I can't jump to it how do I get to it?

Nevermind

[oblique bison]

I just realized after you encounter your 2nd imp there's a hatch you can open for some shells and enter the code to turn off the flame where there's armor shards and shells where you encounter your first imp

In underground junction there's a platform with an explosive barrel and a locked door how do I get to it?

Nevermind

[oblique bison]

thats 3 new things i just discovered lol

[oblique bison]

yeah its early plazma ammo if you want it

ok but i play on PC

it was easy crossing that

[oblique bison]

yeah i still have to do those 2 i missed some PDA's like the 2 after you get your gun and the one by some machine and you scare him forgot where though

yeah at alpha labs 3 on nightmare right now at almost 2 hours of play time i know the boss of alpha labs 4 is going to be a pain

yep and you can't use the cube every single time you have to kill enemies to have it say use us

[oblique bison]

yep

[oblique bison]

in boiler room monitoring you can click on access grate 3 to open it but where is it its in alpha labs 3 but idk where though

[oblique bison]

@rancid pond what do you need help with?

[rancid pond]

Huh?

Oh so um when I go on doom 3 slayers club isn’t working

PS4 btw

[oblique bison]

@rancid pond what do you mean by slayers club?

[oblique bison]

which system?

[supple gull]

Never noticed it but the lack of sentry bots in Delta Labs makes sense, as Bertruger probably didn't want a lot of security there when the invasion started.

[ocean ridge]

i want to have a pda irl

wait i think that's just called a smartphone

nevermind

[oblique bison]

I mean like PC, Xbox Playstation

[fast thicket]

just bought doom 3 on steam, which version should i play; bfg or regular version?

[scenic stratus]

If you want a more "classic" doom experience you should play BFG edition, If you want a good horror game you play the Original

The BFG edition have a LOT of Ammo Pick ups than than the original

And the you can use the flash light and a weapon at the same time

[fast thicket]

👍

[clever wren]

doom 3 bfg bad.

classic or you're playing on console and don't have another option

[misty abyss]

to hell with separate slot flashlight

[fast thicket]

think ill just play the original from steam, then do the bfg edition

[scenic stratus]

download dhewm 3 source port

(for og)

[scenic stratus]

this should be in the channel description fr

[fast thicket]

what does it do?

[lyric veldt]

How do I get a RoE key I bought the game on steam but if I cancel the key input it just closes my game

I typed it in exactly but it’s saying invalid

Nah refund time

Thanks for your help tho

[scenic stratus]

In my opinion, Doom 3 is one of the best Doom games

[rustic wind]

DOOM 3 isn’t the third DOOM game

[cursive pike]

Normal people would find out how to get cheats by googleing how to do it. Me, I started raging and the menu popped up

I don't use it tho

[fleet island]

its the 1st technically

[fleet island]

its alright

only problem with it is that it doesnt rlly stick to dooms original idea

[scenic stratus]

essentially the og game updated to modern pc

most importantly resolution

[floral condor]

Dead space is younger than doom 3 so dead space has a doom 3 theme instead. Think about that

[hybrid garden]

I feel like Doom 3 is what the original doom wanted to be but ended up being more like Wolfenstein because of technical limitations

Doom 1 had a lot of dark areas and slower spacing sometimes

[fleet island]

I’m not saying doom 3 was bad it just didn’t have a goofy tone like the other games taking the more serious and dark tone to the max

[bronze pollen]

DOOM 3 MODS SUGGESTION

id prefer if the mod had a new campain or at least a rason a to why should i go through the campain again

[wraith pumice]

hey guys, I uploaded transparent images of Doom 3 enemies on the Doom wiki

did you ever saw them?

here's the Maggot one for example

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/465235452148842518/1231299418364575815/Maggot.png?ex=663673f1&is=6623fef1&hm=d706f99d71c1dc93591846112351acbc820c7d46d0c4f706befdd96bcad94209&

[scenic stratus]

So I started playing doom 3 again, and I haven't even beaten the game yet, not even close, and yet...it's frickin fun, I don't even feel the scares anymore. It almost feels like playing doom 2016, it's fun.

[fast thicket]

dude is just built different i guess

[scenic stratus]

Anyone looking to get the DOOM 3 multiplayer achievements done? I need at least 2 people.

[cursive pike]

I hate these guys with a passion

[oblique bison]

they're so easy to kill with the shotgun 1 hit

[oblique bison]

Where's the PDA for the door to the right in delta main room and in the reactor service access

[abstract fable]

Anyone prefer Resurrection of Evil over the main campaign?

[scenic stratus]

next to the reactor on the upper bridge

[oblique bison]

I have it but the door to the right of the elevator still won't open

[scenic stratus]

im not sure what door youre talking about. if you can send a screenshot ill tell

[oblique bison]

can't in here its the one to the right of the elevator in delta main room in delta labs 1

[scenic stratus]

oh in lobby. it shouldnt open

[oblique bison]

well that sucks why did they put it there then and you can try to open it with your PDA but don't have clearance

[scenic stratus]

maybe

[oblique bison]

maybe what?

[scenic stratus]

nvm

[oblique bison]

ok

[abstract fable]

It's so much better yeah

[loud swan]

Anyone knows when Phobos episode 3 will come out?

[soft trail]

Hi. DOOM 3 it's more slower than DOOM 1993 and DOOM 2? Never play DOOM 3

[scenic stratus]

yes, it is slower

[abstract fable]

The sprinting in DOOM 3 is really fast, but stamina runs out really fast and recharges really slowly

[barren geyser]

Breaking news.
Demon killing machine doom marine cant function without flashlight

[scenic stratus]

Anyone looking to get all the multiplayer achievements done?

[zealous blaze]

Please, Doom 3 is #1. You encounter fewer and tougher enemies in bad terrain instead of 12 paper tough imps.

No monster is really a singular threat in legacy DOOM. The game relies more on overwhelming you. I enjoy not being able to just ignore low rank hellspawn.

[storm wasp]

Fun fact : Doom 3 fans are Dorks.

[abstract oar]

It's a peculiar game

[abstract fable]

I ..uh ... what?

[abstract oar]

Although it has good reviews

[abstract fable]

Also DOOM 3 tries to overwhelm you with too during the second half lol.

And episode 1 of DOOM 1993 and the first 10 or so maps of DOOM II didn't have much demons at once.

It's not until the later episodes lol

[abstract oar]

I wish they had released the Bfg Edition for Play Station 4

[abstract fable]

I thought they do

[abstract oar]

I looked for it in the Play Station library and only the original version was there

[misty abyss]

modern consoles port is in fact BFG Edition

[abstract oar]

Then I'll check it again

[misty abyss]

it's the same except lack of multiplayer and Doom 1 & 2 (with latter for obvious reasons)

[abstract fable]

Yeah and they don't even tell you it's the BFG Edition, they falsely advertise it as the original D3 basically

Atleast the one I play on Xbox One basically lies to you lol

[abstract oar]

[scenic stratus]

Hey I enjoy the game 🥺

[abstract oar]

I think he offended you

[abstract oar]

How long have you had Doom 3?

[scenic stratus]

A few months now, on the switch

It's really fun

[abstract oar]

👍👍

[abstract oar]

On the switch you can use the flashlight and the gun at the same time? No, right?

[scenic stratus]

Yep

[abstract oar]

This problem does not encourage me to buy the game

Because I'm a Play Station player

Play Station 5

[scenic stratus]

Its bfg edition....what's the difference

[abstract oar]

The Bfg Edition fixed that but it's not for Play Station 4

[scenic stratus]

Oh

[abstract oar]

[scenic stratus]

Yeah bfg edition is for PlayStation 4

[abstract oar]

I looked for it in the store and it's not there

[scenic stratus]

I think I see the problem

You have to get the slayer collection

Doom 3 bfg Edition is in the collection

That's how I got it on my switch

[abstract oar]

I bought the games separately

I have Doom 1,2,2016 and Eternal

[scenic stratus]

🙂

[scenic stratus]

Anybody looking to get the multiplayer achievements done?

[abstract fable]

Wtf...why do I like Doom 3's Resurrection of Evil expansion more than Eternal?

Yeah I just replayed it and it was so amazing lol.

Something that's really fun about DOOM 3 is the sprinting crouching bunny hops. Idk how to explain it, but it's so damn fun when you get a hang of it

Especially with the Artifact enabled

[misty abyss]

pretty sure you cannot bunny hop in original Doom 3

[abstract fable]

Never played OG, but it seems like there's a lot of b hops in speedruns for the original version, so it seems like you can.

[misty abyss]

i mean, BFG edition seems to be built off the Quake 4 because i could do bhop even with a gamepad, meanwhile in og D3 I can't replicate that

[abstract fable]

True. Might be harder

[scenic stratus]

Doom 3 is a horror game change my mind

[fathom urchin]

Thats a little harsh.

I hate the BFG edition. The light on armor I don't like and you really don't need it.. Someone turned on all the lights.

I found a mod that 'fixes' things how the OG game was. Flashlight and darkness again

had a few little tweaks also, but I liked the older game. Was a pain in the ass to work right on modern though

[noble whale]

Nightmare difficulty

[scenic stratus]

It's meant to be

[misty abyss]

tries to be

atmosphere is certainly there but you're in no way lacking tools to eradicate threats efficiently

[abstract fable]

DOOM 3 second half and Resurrection of Evil basically becomes classic Doom with a horror skin

[scenic stratus]

Yes try being in a dark silent room playing doom 3 and not getting jumpscared

[misty abyss]

i specifically done that and it didn't have much effect because doom 3 scare attempts are way too predictable

[scenic stratus]

Yes a demon pops up from behind and I don’t realize it and I’m on 30 hp

I think I’d get a little scared t

[misty abyss]

uh sure? i think Doom 3's strongest point is its sound design because while playing it with great audio system enhance experience immensely, which in turn makes atmosphere stronger

[scenic stratus]

That's why it should be a hard game ngl

I love doom 3 levels, atmosphere, sound design, areas and enemies but the actual gameplay is just eh

I expect the jump scares, but that only decreases the fear by a lil bit, but I just imagine I'm playing doom 2016, it gets all better

[abstract fable]

It's good in RoE IMO

The gameplay I mean

[misty abyss]

gravity gun addition is kinda useless, outside of not wasting ammo on lost souls or killing first boss

[abstract fable]

SSG, Bruisers, Artifact, and way faster flow, encounter design, and enemy placements. Also far less reliance on cheap "jump scares"

[misty abyss]

these are more important addition, SSG is just slightly better than shotgun

Bruiser is nice because he's actually more threat than an hell knight

[abstract fable]

Bruiser is basically a beefed up Mancubus because of the cannons

[scenic stratus]

Anyone looking to get the multiplayer achievements done?

[abstract fable]

Man replaying DOOM 3's main campaign, and jeez, the first two to three hours are sooo slow lmao

[misty abyss]

yeah, Quake 4 had similar issue

[clear vapor]

I got used to it in my 8th playthrough

Its not that slow honestly

Especially if you add like the pda sounds or doom eternal music

[abstract fable]

Doom Eternal music to Doom 3 sounds off

Lol

[sudden ore]

Photoshop flowey's design from undertale might be inspired by the bruiser

Or it could just be a coincidence

I hope we either get another horror-themed doom game in the future that is both scarier and more fun to play than doom 3, or we get a quake reboot they focuses on a horror/frightening atmosphere just as much as gameplay

[abstract fable]

I can't be the only one who hates DOOM 3's main campaign but really likes the Resurrection of Evil expansion, am I?

[abstract fable]

I also like Lost Mission lol

[misty abyss]

my favourite is probably lost mission , most interesting showcase of hell outta all 3 campaigns

[scenic stratus]

Anyone looking to get the multiplayer achievements done?

[abstract fable]

Lost Mission has best Hell, but Hell is only the end.

Resurrection of Evil has best UAC sections and that's the vast majority of the playtime

[bright finch]

if i buy doom 3 BFG do i also get the original or are they separate?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1189631720509673472/1235960377385287710/image.png?ex=6636454d&is=6634f3cd&hm=c574a133d5dbb33645d004e41166ed95325902b250c3189c23d062624478a1a2&

i guess ima buy the bfg

[frosty holly]

You only get DOOM 3, with the DLC's and DOOM 1 & 2 (Playable inside the BFG Edition)
U wont get the seperate, standalone, vanilla version.

[bright finch]

[full charm]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-dance-dancing-doomguy-shuffle-gif-25536803

[modest ore]

Still sucks that the PS4, Xbox One, and Switch versions don't have multiplayer.

[wraith pumice]

what do you guys think of the combat in Doom 3?

most people that like the game praise things like the atmosphere and graphics, but not the actual combat

and I see some people criticizing it with things like the weapons sounding weak and enemies not showing reaction to being damaged

[abstract fable]

I really like the combat in Resurrection of Evil

Because SSG, Artifact, much better pacing, much better enemy usage and combos and variety compared to the other DOOM 3 experiences

Also DOOM 3 has extremely good bunny hopping especially while sprinting and mixing ducking here and there, and that's enhanced by the artifact abilities and SSG

But combat in main DOOM 3 campaign for example is quite weak.

Especially since it mostly spams imps and zombies, most of the game.

[abstract fable]

I love the BFG and Plasma Rifle sound effects, and I really like the Chaingun sounds too.

I think the Shotgun sounds good in the BFG Edition, and the Super Shotgun in the expansions is the third beefiest SSG sound in the series only losing to 64 and 2016's SSG sound.

[abstract fable]

The SMG and Pistol sound horrible though.

[scenic stratus]

What have you misheard those zombie soldiers say?
One time, I thought they said "Great junk food".

[scenic stratus]

The shotgun and pistol are horrid in this game

[viral briar]

I thought they merged all editions of Doom 3 into one?

So Doom 3 is more of a bundle these days that gives you both the BFG and original plus expansions for the latter.

I guess that’s only for Steam?

[bright finch]

If u buy bfg u should get both versions

For the original idk

[scenic stratus]

who else hates those little annoying spiders

[cold trout]

They are awful especially on nightmare

They do enough damage to ruin everything if you didn't heal up in a while

[scenic stratus]

They say ruarrrr

[scenic stratus]

Is doom 3 good should i play it i have it

but idk if should play

[marble sinew]

If you have it then play it

[lost wing]

honestly one of my favorites, you absolutely should play it despite it not being a fast-paced doom

[latent magnet]

[midnight thistle]

thoughts on doom 3: lost chicken

[cold trout]

Beautiful bullet spread 👌

[muted scarab]

doom

[oblique bison]

lucky i never get it like that i wait until after he throws a fireball then i shoot

[candid galleon]

Do you guys Enjoyed Doom 3 is it good

[frosty holly]

yes

[abstract fable]

It's a bad game, but a good DOOM game. I love it.

[scenic stratus]

how to do that thing with that claw-machine thing?

sorry I can't explain it any further than thay

[abstract fable]

Btw this wasn't supposed to make sense lol

[modest ore]

It's a shame that the multiplayer is a ghost town. Like there's literally no one playing the multiplayer.

[supple gull]

I wonder about that myself, they don't even look like they work at the UAC.

[compact idol]

It’s my 2nd favorite doom game

[stray trench]

first you must click on something nearby, and after that step back to claw machine, grab 2 barrels (u got extra buttons to leaving, and HUGE with letters to auto clean barrel, after grab).I hope so this is understandable, because I wrote from memory

[true dock]

can anyone help me with multiplayer achievements for doom 3?

[scenic stratus]

@true dock My man, you need some Doom 3 achievements done?

[true dock]

yes i do

[true dock]

after ill finish roe on nightmare i will try to get all multiplayer achievements

[scenic stratus]

Anybody looking to get the DOOM 3 multiplayer achievements done?

[cold trout]

So much hate on Doom 3 😭

[misty abyss]

to be fair first few hours of campaign are really uneventful, boring even

[quasi silo]

I have that curse of really liking hated stuff, and I love DOOM 3. DOOM 2005 too. But nothing can get me to watch DOOM: Annihilation again. That was horrible.

[abstract fable]

Even afterwards. Because even when they introduce Mancubi and Revenants....it stiiiilllll mostly devolves into imp spam and stupid imp traps for most of it until you reach Hell

It's why Resurrection of Evil was better. It didn't spam imps and imp traps 24/7

[misty abyss]

it instead spammed wraith like demons that happened to be able to throw fireballs with cyan magic n shit

[abstract fable]

It's so annoying too because every door has a BS undodgable imp jump attack at you.

You see it coming from a mile away, but you can't avoid it most of the time lol

[abstract fable]

Atleast you had the SSG and Artifact

Especially when you upgrade the Artifact where you're super fast and one shot everything

Making the Vulgars from Resurrection of Evil a lot less tedious than the Imps IMO

But I hate the Vulgars too

[clear vapor]

As someone who enjoys terrible movies anilahtion is terrbile

[spring drum]

annihilation was dog shit

[true dock]

can anyone help us get doom 3 multiplayer achievements?

[scenic stratus]

Anyone looking to get the Doom 3 multiplayer achievements done?

[true dock]

Do you still need help with those achievements?

[kindred cairn]

On a scale of 1 to 10, how good is Doom 3? Without looking at others

[misty abyss]

7/10

cliffhanger ending, really slow start, a lot of combat encounters could use having more demon variations

[frigid brook]

I remember playing Doom 3 shortly after it got released, even tho it suffocated my PC back in 2004, it ran at like 15-25 fps at the most on lowest settings/resolution.
But I fucking ENJOYED every second of it! One of the most atmospheric horrors of all time. And definitely one of my top 10 games of all time, if not top 5!
Resurrection of Evil was also chef's kiss.

[midnight thistle]

We need a doom 3 2

[scenic stratus]

true

[frigid brook]

Doom 3 deserves a compete remake, except for the ambiance sounds, that's one thing I wouldn't change

[scenic stratus]

YES, even maybe a new ost (tho thats probably asking a bit much)
