I followed the instructions there (i didnt creat an autoexec.cfg though,
i just pasted the tweak into base/Doomconfig.cfg) my performance jumped
from 13 to 40 fps (800*60,High Quality) (!!!)

Sys:XP@2Ghz,256MB DDR@266Mhz,GF4 ti4400@300/650

inredible! Try it!

I wouldn't do it, unless you have low level vid card/CPU. I don't want to
compromise visual quality. Doom3 is all about visual quality.

I just discovered last night that if I don't put some things in an
autoexec.cfg then Doom often edits and excises certain entries. Like
seta com_allowConsole "1" gets removed from Doomconfig.cfg but stays put
in the autoexec.cfg

It's also easier to tweak>run>tweak>run keeping the autoexec open and
editing that, it's got a lot less in it.

Anyone serious about play Doom3 online will probably turn off bumpmapping
and all the shadows. For one thing, it should improve performance
dramatically. It also removes all the dark ambush spots.

Without bumps though wouldn't life be boring?

Unfortunately the sad fact remains that online players are looking for one
thing, a way to get any advantage possible over the other online players.
They couldnt care less about PQ online.
