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

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?

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.

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?

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

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

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?

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

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...

:( 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...

try downloading rivatuner and go to poweruser, it can override default refresh rate settings..
