Official release date of Doom3 for AmigaOS4

@HunoPPC

Thank you for doing this!

@Primax
thank you for this question. We are in betatest so there are no fixes to be made (whether in my code or in the 3D libraries). Finally… not everything is activated yet and there are a few surprises, otherwise it wouldn't be fun, would it?

@all
Thank you very much

@HunoPPC
Great release. It works great on my X5000/40 system and seems pretty stable. Tested it with the latest Enhnacer beta version. And also did some benchmarking with different resolutions.

Although the FPS do not matter yet, since this is not the final release but mostly a beta version, what seemed weird to me is that the selected resolution and quality configuration didn't seem to make huge difference.

Running the timedemo I got the same FPS on 1080p resolution and Ultra Graphics Quality with a 800x600 with low quality. Which for me it means that the bottlenecks are very specific and if these are fixed we will see a big increase of the performance.

But overall a great and promising work on this engine port. Thank you so much for working on it.

@Huno
Did i understand right that this is not public release of binary still, but for betatesters ?

Why i ask, because i downloaded http://hunoppc.amiga-projects.net/content/dhewm3-amigaos4, and can't see there any binary to run, only icon "Copy your exeutable here".

Just want to be sure that i need to contact you for a binary or binary was forgotten to be put in archive.

Great video but with a kind of some nasty modern Metal music,I hate it,but fits well with the Doom 3 game

@SinanSam460

I will need to buy a new gfx-card.Mine is an ATI Radeon HD 5450.

Where can I buy one? And at which expense?

Thanks

@kas1e

I confirm that there is no executable in the archive. The executable is well provided on request and volunteering of the betatester

Best regards

@walkero

Thank you very much for your feedback, yes we notice the same symptoms on our machines and we will try to understand and especially to target this bottleneck (very present with such a game it feels even more).
I am compiling my code on pc and my first tests show that my code works well and I get in 800x600 on an I7 gfx intel card with the AmigaOS4 folder and its config 120 fps
I have to compile with gl4es on pc to see now (i have no staticlib win32)

Best regards

Hello,

On a first time look on this page and choice your type of card

After search this on ebay or other site and buy a compatible card

Best regards

@HunoPPC

Hi, I sent mail to you about betatesting but didn’t get any answer or exe file on mail :D

Tnx 🍺

@HunoPPC

Yeah but which models to play Return To Castle Wolfstein or this Doom 3 port?

@VooDoo

Hello,

Your card is not compatible with warp3d NOVA

I already answered you that it was not possible if we cannot launch the executable, that is why. I will not generate an exe for nothing

Best regards

@MamePPCA1

I do not understand the question …
Already if we look closer RTCW only uses opengl1x rendering without bumpmapping and native shaders and of course we find the same bottleneck as with Doom3.
Just find where it goes wrong and everything will unlock quickly and our games will fly.

Important : with a compatible gfx card
Best regards

@HunoPPC

That's it...a compatible card.

What models are avaliable for AmigaOS 4.1?

Where? How much does them cost?

Thanks for all Huno!

@MamePPCA1
Radeon HD Southern Island and RX Polaris are the most compatible with Warp3D Nova. Have a look at http://wiki.amiga.org/index.php?title=Warp3D_Nova for an official list of cards.

@HunoPPC

I did not get any answer on mail, sorry. Also, I did not know that my RadeonRX 580 it’s not compatible. :(

@MamePPCA1
Try to find radeonRX 580 gfx card. I guess you have power supply that have pcie power 8pins/6pins. Those cards require atleast 1 or 2 such extra power.

@kas1e

Huno has to email you your executable

Can't log into AmiSphere or Updater today?
I know I bought the latest Enhancer pack a while ago but not sure if v2.2 we need to test Doom3 ws juts recently released?

@VooDoo

do you have an rx580? you told me you had an ATI Radeon HD 5450, you should know
