Just spent ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£30 on this, was really looking forward to it until I got this error:

Rich, you just can't expect decent games to run under Win 3.1 anymore.... it really is time you upgraded that old 386SX of yours

Update: Found this thread which helped a lot:

1. Install Doom3, patch it to 1.1
2. Copy the whole directory "d3xp" from your RoE-CD to your Doom3-Directory
3. Apply Patch 1.2 from RoE-CD
4. Start Doom3
5. Now you are asked for the CD-Key of RoE
6. Select MODS and select RoE
7. Enjoy

I'm running XP x64 BTW...

ROFL

Forgive the thick who have been out of the loop, but whats this Doom3 evil thing a directors cut or something?

It's the new expansion pack.
It took me ages to decide between Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory and this but the temptation of the double-barrelled shotgun was too much to resist.

Very helpful.

It said on the box that it needs 2000/XP - I'm running XP.
Anyway, I got there by hacking the .msi file, if anyone needs instructions on this then let me know.

Wow, this game is awesome.
It feels just like that moment when I first played Doom 3 - except you start in a place much worse!

Got some screenshots, one is of a bloke who scared the crap out of me by jumping out of a locker and also of the new grabber gun - everything goes weird when you use that.
I'm not going to spoil the game by explaining what's going on in the 4th screenshot, you'll have to find out for yourself.

ive been playing this game,im glad i dual booted xp pro and xp 64, cuz i would not have looked to hard for a patch

I fell down a hole right near the start and got totally stuck

allieyoung666 · 30-04-2005, 23:00

I think it is a really good game a nice shoot em up, I wish they would do another unreal as I totally love that game

Richard M · 01-05-2005, 04:04

Couple of new screenshots, one of another arcade game (remember Super Turkey Puncher?

) and one which is probably the most terrifying part of the game I've seen so far...

That part really was nasty, at least it proves that id Software are not the only twisted developers around.

(the double barrelled shotgun kicks ass BTW, just thought I'd mention that

)

If it turns out anything like it did with me, it'll before long become tedious

Doom 3 got tedious very quickly, the addons no different.

They saw HL2 and saw the gravity gun and thought. F8(k it, lets just nick it

AndrewJ · 01-05-2005, 14:11

I will likely play it to death again, prefer Halo mutliplayer myself and good old Flight Sim 2004, but this will be a nice game to break in the new computer.
