Last night I started downloading the Doom 3 demo and it took a long time, I had to wake up in the middle of the night to finish the download and turn the noisy computer off.
Thios morning, I was thrilled to think that I can now atleast see what Doom 3 is like. I installed it, it slowly got all the way on the progress bar to 100%, and then it tells me it cannot open the specific .ini file.
I tried to open Doom 3 and it could not. It turns out you need Windows f*cking XP/2000 to run it! It didnt say that on the download site, and because I thought it would be fine, I didnt read any in depth info on system requirements. That really pissed me off to think that I wasted my time in false hopes.
I found a forum explaining how to hack doom 3 with hex to run on windows 98, but that proceedure doesnt work with the demo version.
Because I was so pissed off, I found myself installing Doom 95 just to remind me of those good ol' days. Only trouble is you cant run custom files cause its shareware so you cant map or change the music to the original psx music, instead its that horrible midi stuff.
...And there are limitations too, like no pulse rifle or bfg, and only one set of missions.
