ERMMMM DOOM 3 problems

I found a problem im not sure if there is a patch or a thing i might be able to do to correct this problem, but first ill start with my pc stats

amd athlon 3200

2x of 512 memory

120 gig hard drive

Radeon 9800 xt 250mb

these stats are almost top of the line its well within the bounds of doom3 with out a doubt. When i start the game everything loads well and yet fast but once i look around inside the maps I see these littel white and red dots very small almost 1 pixel or so that will flash on and off veru fast making it look like snow at first i thought it was snowin on mars as i though i walked into the facility and yet found more after a worked route threw the maps i figured out that there is somthing wrong and these dots will seem to flash on objects and other things ill get a pic of the problem in a bit as soon as i can get it hosted somewere.

I really need some help...............

Obvious Question #438927987:

Is it legal?

Try messing around with the graphic configurations in the menus. With
some patients you may fix the problem through trial and error.

Now Im not saying its your graphics card persay...by my friend had a problem loading the first map on his 9800 256mb card, dont know if it will help but the solution was simple, he loaded an already saved game that I gave to him, and it never gave him trouble. You also might want to look into toning down the grphic and see if that does anything, like setting it to 1024 at med detail, thats what im running on my 9800 pro :smile:

Are you overclocking the card?
Have you tried turning down the 'spinkee'nilation?
Are your video drivers up to date?

If you haven't done any of these things, anything could be the problem, it sounds like artifacts on the screen from your card though. Does it do anything remotly like this in any other games? What about other high graphics games, like Far Cry?

If not, and it only happens in D3 ... try everything you can, don't go as far as formatting your HDD (that would moronic). If worse comes to absolute worse, try reinstalling D3.

But this really sounds like a hardware issue.

Sounds very much like when you push your card's core too far. I get
similar artifacts when I overclock my 9800 core to about 460, although
only in specific DX9 shaders. (as a side note I can get it to about 490
and have it completely stable :biggrin: )

and have it completely stable :biggrin:

Just wait ... it'll stop doing that. (as in being "stable")

Stable- read ran 3Dmark03 for 48 hours looping without crashing out :smile:

Well Iv tried installing omega drivers it seems during this game it gets up to a temp of 38 to 39 celcius im not sure if it is getting overheated I might choose to get a pure copper heatsink set for my memory on gfx card, but in other cases people say that they have underclocked there gfx card and it has reduced this alot so ill work on this thx for help anyways guyz.

check www.megagames.com for lots of tweaking info for D3 running with ATI cards hope this helps

(that would moronic)

Laff.

Im not an expert but are your drivers up to date? The best
way I found to get doom 3 to run properly was to let the game decide.
