Well I went out and bought Doom3 this afternoon. Unfortunately I think I may have picked up the one box with a defective CD. The game does it's autorun thing, and installs fine.

Then when I go to start the game it won't run. I tried installing it on all four of my computers, all have a problem with disk 1, even though it read the disk fine.

Two computers say can't locate disk one. The other two say Problem with Disc one, CD/DVD emulation enabled on the drive.

Went through activisions tech site, which was pretty unhelpful, but went through there troubleshooting, however nothing helped.

Anyone have similar problems? I am going to try exchanging the game in the morning.

Looks like you have some kind of problem with the CD protection scheme. Are you running CloneCD?

Actually no, my desktop (my actual gaming rig), right now just has a fresh format, so nothing except drivers on it.

Found a No CD Crack, for now. Going to call tech support here in a few more hours when they open, but I am not to optimistic. :frown:

I had the same error message last night when I ran Doom 3 for the first time. To fix it I unistalled CloneCd and Daemon Tools. I know CloneCd has to be taken off to make it work but im not 100% sure about Daemon Tools. It sucks that Doom 3 checks for this and now I need to figure out a way to emulate cds with something else.
If the above fix doesn't work, you may have other cd/dvd emulation software on your machine which will also need to be removed.

On two of my machines I do get the CD/DVD emulation, but that isn't the case on the other two.

I called Tech Support and was told that they are working on a fix, and to keep checking the web site for a patch. :frown:

Well at least I found a NoCD crack, otherwise I would be very irate right now. Oh well, everything is running good now.

If you are overclocked, watch your temps, they rise fast while running this game.

No I am not using a pirated version. I did purchase the game from BestBuy. However the game fails to run on all 4 of my machines. This is why I have to have a crack to play the game at all.

I called tech support, and they told me a fix is in the works and to keep checking the web site for a patch. What a bunch of B.S., if I couldn't have found a crack for the game, I wouldn't even been able to play my new $55 dollar game. ID Software was the last company I expected to let me down, but they just did. And just for those at ID, I may not be able to play the game (I believe a problem with the copy protection), but I can copy it? (What kind of sense does this make?)
