Official release date of Doom3 for AmigaOS4

ManagedtoDL 2.2 finally, bug it freezes on install. Tried two different boot parttitions as well.

Is there a way to reset the prefs?
I tried a bigger resolution, and now it starts and won't show any picture, just black screen. I can see the hd is flashing, but no action...

Last version is faster!

timedemo increases from 9.8 to 13.2 FPS
on X1000 + HD 7970, full details, 1920x1080

Thx HunoPPC!

Hmm I didn't get the second beta, only the first one in the summer.

@sailor

didn't get an email from Huno about a new version to test?

Never got an email about a 2nd version but still struggling to get the 1st one working correctly.
I get loads of errors about not being able to load sound samples.
Is that just me?

Cheers

@TiredOfLife

no missing files or sound issues for me

well what do you know just got the update email from HunoPPC just now

@328gts

Me too :)

Cheers

@Thread

Is Doom3 released on the HunoPPC's web portal? I've seen version there but did not get it yet since I am waiting for the final one.

@levellord

AFAIK it is still closed beta. You will need to contact Huno privately to ask.

@ddni

Thanks for confirmation, will wait until final release b/c my GFX card will need an update for this game.

@all
it was 3 1.5.2 b1 from 2.oct 2022
HunoPPC send it to betatesters who in touch with him.

I received this version today.

I tested the new version today too. Thanks Huno.
The time demo on X1000 with RX550 improved from 13.4 to 14.5 fps.
In game the frame rate swings from 60 to 5 fps.
CPU use is pegged at 100%.
It is an impressive port, although the frame rate inconsistencies mean there is still some way to go to consider the game playable.

@ddni
yes, on X1000 it will be super-playable. In .cfg can be many details reduced ( here is detailed guide: https://tweakguides.pcgamingwiki.com/Doom3_1.html ) Our .cfg should be the same, but I recommend not to change our default .cfg, but write modifications on autoexec.cfg instead.

I will try make playable Huno's port also on sam440ep-flex, it has 4.3 fps with older beta (and with ARB renderer) on full details and resolution.
But it takes time, my Sam is without PCEe bridge and HD gfx just now, due to testing of my AmigaOne XE.

Btw, upto now I am not succseed to run Domm3 on XE. It looks like newer versions of RadeonHD and Warp3DNova are not enough betatested with XE ( only few people have XE with PCIe card, if any ). But I will post exact details when I finish with PCI interrupts there .

@sailor

I would be interested in how you get on with the tweakguide settings. I am trying them out individually in an AutoExec.cfg.

No real benefit so far.

Edit: more tinkering, am unable to improve performance with tweaks. Seems settings from Huno offer best visuals and fps so far.

for those that don't know how to get into the timed demo:

Press Ctrl Alt ~ to bring up the console screen (I have to do it a few times for the screen to come up)

then type timedemo demo1.demo usecache

using 1st beta version:
full screen-12.4 FPS
window- too choppy just on main screen and couldn't get into console

using current beta:
full screen-13.8 FPS
window- 13.7 FPS (800x600) since 640x480 too small on my screen..though window screen is stuttering during demo unlike full screen which was much smoother

@sailor

Huno told me auto.cfg or default.cfg (in base/base) are not used.
if you want to change something change it in Doom3-configs/base/Doom3.cfg (make a backup first)

for the timedemo, Huno was clever and added a shortcut : just bring back the console (win key + ²) and press arrow up et voilà !

EDIT: we tested the multiplayer and it requires a valid Doom3 key (to enter in the multiplayer menu tab)

@Lio

Thanks for this, AutoExec.cfg does seem to work though. Just the impact of the tweaks either have minimal performance impact, or game breaking graphical impact.
