Shame my GFX card is too sucky for Doom 3.

Doom 3 isn't only a graphics hog either. Everytime one of the monsters with super simplistic AI appears, my CPU usage rockets and my fps plummets. The more enemies, the more it happens
It could also be to do with the netcode, I'm not sure... however, I monitored both CPU usage and bandwidth usage, and less than 5% of my 10Mbit was being used...

I could play Doom3 fine with my Geforce 3 (800x600), online it seems it's mostly a CPU hog. That and it seems the limitation is on the server rather than the client.
What i don't understand Carth is that the first few maps were fine...
Who has the fastest system of all of us? Dual core anyome? That'd be excellent for hosting a game.

I've only got an A64 3200+.
The first few maps were fine yes, I don't know why. I still got a low fps though, but apparently it didn't affect you.
I was running it as a dedicated server, which was probably a bad idea. I should have hosted it as a listen, then doom3 and the server will be the same process

Btw, people have said it was a network hog, and that's the cause of lag, but I don't think so. Or at least, not in my case. I looked at network usage when it was just you 2 playing, and it didn't go above 5% of my available bandwidth, which means it was using about 50KB/sec. So I could make an untested assumption here and say it requires 25KB/sec per player. So use that as a rough guide if you want to host

It's always more fun if you play anything with real people
I think the difficulty is actually a new one above the max difficulty that came with the game. People were still dying, so I dunno..
I don't know why you think it would suck on the single player maps, I'd rather play those than a form of zombie invasion where you can respawn.. zzzz

Coop isn't a challenge like other competetive gametypes can be (even some cooperative games like AlienSwarm), but that doesn't make it any less fun to play with friends.
My main issue with Doom3 is that all the darkness hurts my eyes. Unreal coop ftw.

Is it possible for others to join mid-story? Or can you only join when you all start?

Makes me wish I had a proper graphics card (other than this GF4 MX440 PoS!) and Doom3.
Ah well.
