[eXg. Pheon1x]

When i open the game i get an error and it closes the game (kinda dumb of me but i forgot my flash drive at home so i dont have the error at hand)

But i installed the patch(1.31a) and went to connect to the server and i couldnt open the game

so i just tryed to open d3 and it just gave me the error again so yea umm im confused on this... please help

(the error will be posted when i get home)

[eXg. Missy]

thats wat happend to me .... i dont know wat it is but lol .... i never did figure out i just unistalled then lost my disks

[eXg. Suyko]

welcome to the fun of trying to have D3 1.3 and 1.131 at the same time

good times ahead for the both of you

[eXg. Pun1sher]

The error is going to help. It's probably that you have OLD EMZ files in the EMZ folder, which were 1.3 compatible. Now, that you've patched the GAME, you need to purge your EMZ folder, download JUST the new version of EMZ, and try again.

wrong game DLL API version

Right you are. OK, again, I have no clue on how your install is. I have two, completely seperate copies (had) of Doom3 1.3. I literally copied/pasted the entire folder. Named the 2nd one, Doom3_131 and patched just that one. Now, I can't stress this enough, whether you run dual versions, or just one, you have to make sure you have a completely empty EMZ folder on the newer/patched version, then hit our server, which will download just the new EMZ. If there are any old files in there, BOOM.

[eXg. sabooya]

You installed the new EMZ on the OLD doom, you cant do that.
Delete your emz folder, first then
Update your doom install to latest version.

ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/doom3/ ... -1.3.1.exe

Then join exg server and download everything you need.

[eXg. Pheon1x]

just reinstalled the game (b4 i read this post after my reply)

Argh! You have the EMZ files in the base folder. That is a "very bad thing". They should be in the emz folder (e.g. E:\New Folder\Doom 3\emz).

I think you need a cleanup and reinstall

[eXg. sabooya]

I made him delete everything in his base except main d3 files.


Then I made sure he didn't have emz folder in the doom3 folder, for some reason it still didn't work. So i told him to reinstall the d31.3.1 patch. After that. It still didn't work.
so he uninstalled/reinstalled doom 3, and again nothing. Im stumped

[simulation]

What problem does he get now?

[eXg. Pheon1x]

I can open the game till it loads the game then it just crashes and its a bit gay...


Loading menu, then goes to loading game and then shuts off


Then gives me the wrong game DLL API

[simulation]

Then gives me the wrong game DLL API

That means you still have a version mismatch. Does it do that even from the Doom 3 item on the start menu or only when you try and load EMZ?

If you can open Doom 3 itself pull down the console and see what the version number says. It will be something like 1.3.1302 or 1.3.1.1304.
