anybody know how to improve the refresh rate? sometimes even if im next to walls they wont be visible or it wont display the enemies on screen... sometime i cant even see myself, any tips?

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

Yup, if you play on Windows, play in fullscreen.

[ultimate26]

aww, because i wanted to play while chatting on msn or browsing around the internet.  but hey i played this game at my friends house on small screen and all the letters were visible, does it depend on the machine?

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

Depends on the system I guess... My current instalation of WinXP can't handle playing it in windowed mode at all :/

What you may try is assigning a higher priority to the process.

alright... its unplayable! i am doing cool with lots of hp and all the kickarse weapons and all i walk but i dont see any enemies, i get shot from the nowere and finally i shoot anything thats there, i cant detect enemies besides pressing F everytime i get in a room! is there anyway to make it better? i made it fullscreen but it didnt help... i really want to play this game without any graphical problems...

This is very weird... not the normal slow windows console problem... maybe a misconfigured codepage.... do other console applications (i.e., roguelikes :P) work correctly on your box?

[ultimate26]

adom runs perfectly without any missing graphics. only doom...

[ultimate26]

anybody know any way to make my thing go better? i mean when i walk the barrels dissapear and come up, all the sudden boom me and all people around me are dead... do i need to update java or my dos? i love this game  id like to play it decently :(

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

Does this also happen on fullscreen? What's your windows version?

[ultimate26]

windows xp... other games run just fine, adom for example

[Kornel Kisielewicz]

Well adom doesn't even do a fraction of refreshing that DoomRl does... I know the problem happens on windowed mode... but it should not on fullscreen. Have you tried setting the doomrl.exe windows options to high priority?

[ultimate26]

i dont know how to change priority... small instruction plz! right click then properties and there u find 2 tabs; general and compatibility.

[tekknej]

i doubt the priority would help... though worth a shot...
press ctrl+shift+esc,
find a doomrl.exe in a list,
right-click -> Set Priority
try something higher than Normal, but Realtime would be bad idea imo...

[ultimate26]

:( thought it helped but no... character dissapears when i do some steps and comes back later.... and it looks like line of sight kind of affect it... i guess its the refresh rate that is causing trouble...

Have you tried a fresh download yet?
