Official release date of Doom3 for AmigaOS4

@Lio
thanx!

new Beta 3 on X1000 13.4 FPS
great gfx, a little more FPS.

it is nice HunoPPC!

using latest Beta 3 I lose 0.2 FPS bringing me to 13.6FPS full screen but I did notice a little more zip in the actual gameplay

Try changing set r_renderer “arb” in the config.
Very different lighting effects and about 35fps on x1000.

@ddni
yes, I am using it on Sam440ep-flex. It is much faster for price of different lighting. I.e. worse, because original Doom3 was dark.
But not tested last two betas, because my Sam is dismantled now.

@all

Update 4 is on your download betatesters

* fix crash on Save game
* fix crash ARB renderer with Null buffer.
* optimized shaders on EGL_wrap library
And others optimizations

Here with X5000/20 Rx560 FullHD 1080 and High effects

On ARB renderer 47 fps
On ARB2 20 fps

Good test

@HunoPPC

Thanks for a great job. My X5000 Doom 3 beta 4 video:

@mufa: Which graphiccard u use?

Look good. No beta4 in my mail for now.
Seems it make good progress. Good work HunoPPC :)

@TearsOfMe

Yes because beta 4 is available from the same link as beta 3.

My config:

X5000 040 & Radeon RX 560.

Thanks for the info.
Seems there are more and more 040 in the wild ;) Cool.

@mufa

Hi MUFA

Many thanks for this video of Dhewm3 on your X5000 040
I am happy with the progress of the work already done, but there is still more to do to keep it 100% playable.

Thank you again for your video broadcast which shows users that this is progressing and that it is real and not misinformation.

Thanks to the community for your support

X1000 + HD 7970 default.cfg, timedemo = 13.6 FPS
Sam440ep-flex + R9 270X default.cfg + renderer=arb = 4.3 FPS

finally I finish testing of AmigaOne XE and can return graphics card to my Sam.

@HunoPPC
it was only quick test, and till 15th November I will not be at home. But after that I try to adjust Sam's .cfg if it change something.


P.S. Autoexec.cfg placed in /demo have no effect to timedemo (at least screen resolution)
It have to be placed to /base and it works also for timedemo.

Played it today for 3 hours straight without crashing. Here on X1000 with an RX550 timedemo gives 13.1 FPS with ARB2. Update4.

Tested beta04 on x5000 + rx560 + all latest stuf

with config coming with beta4 (so ARB2) in "timedemo demo1 usecache" : 20 FPS.

But this 20 fps is not common acros the game : place without too much objects give about 60FPS, but places where lot of objects drop to just 10 fps. So imho unplayable.

This remind me same problems we have with RCTW Reborn, when we in the room with faniculer, and while whole game around 50-60FPS, in this exactly place where a little bit more stuff on we down to 7-8 FPS.


Tested also with config from beta4 but instead of ARB2 with pure ARB : 51 FPS , but with pure ARB game looks like Duke Nuken 3D :)


@Mufa
Is it ARB2 on your video ? Did you disable something else to have it be more playable ?

For me the begining is very slow, just once it starts give 7-8fps, then after few seconds start to be 10 fps, and the more i pass, the more fps i have (as less objects in compare with the begining) i even have 50-60 sometimes. So in general it playable, but not everywhere.


@Huno
Is it ok that on the running i have in the console a lot of:

And that error repeats about 13 times for each pair of shaders.
Is it normal ?

@kas1e

That's how I play ARB2 rendering. I only turned off the shadows, which gives about 3FPS. The rest is not worth off because it does not give more speed. The film is on the High Quality, FullHD, Shadow Off settings, all other options On.

That's how I have 20fps in Timedemo. Well, but there are calmer fragments where there are 30 - 60 fps, just like at the beginning of Level 6, which I recorded.

I recorded a video with my Smartphone from the timedemo1.
AmigaOneX1000 with RX550. doom3 update4.
Use kas1e usecache and the config from the archive in Fullscreen.

Usecache seems to raise fps a little bit up to 15.1fps.
Is it useable in game or only timedemo?

@kas1e

yes it's normal, the shaders you see in the console are for the future glsl version (in writing), I will remove it in the next test version to avoid problems. as for your reaction to rtcw you are absolutely right and i also suspect a big bottleneck which is the lights and shadows. in the ARB version they are not there and you have seen how fast it goes.

HunoPPC

If I wanted to benchmark this Doom3 what would I do? Is there a demo or something to run? I just want to make sure I am getting the expected performance for a 5000/20 + 560RX with latest OS updates and Enhancer 2.2.

If there is a particular area or demo please let me know what the expected FPS would be.

Merci.

@rjd324

Have you contacted Huno to be a beta tester?
If yes then there is a specific timedemo that can be run. Watch this for details: https://youtu.be/DUPOBHGSOuc

@ddni
@all

I am a beta tester. How do I run that timedemo?
