What are your graphics settings. Screenshot it or something. I know when I set AA higher than the lowest, it went to home screen.

I'm not sure then. My only suggestion would be to start over completely from scratch, read the OP very carefully, clear the data for the app, and maybe try another copy of Doom 3. It's been confirmed working on the Note 2 so it has to be your set up somehow.

EDIT: I was looking at your screenshot again and is your base folder inside a folder called diii4a or is it just at the root of your SD card?

This makes me wish valvewould port half life source to android!!!

That actually would be pretty amazing! I wish Android got more PC quality games. Well at least Doom 3 will keep me satisfied for a while.

Hey Traybourne It works fine on my Note 2:good: I made a little video explaining how to install Doom 3 onto Android, feel free to add it to your OP if you like. I tweaked my Doom 3 game a lot back in the day to squeeze out as much performance as possible. I liked how you included the autoexe config, I started to mess around with it a bit. I read a great Doom 3 tweaking guide, checkout the link below. I turned off little things like player shadows, further tweaking should be possible and I wanted to share the info. I included the configs I used in the video below. Thanks for great tweaking ideas:good:



Gameplay starts @ 7:00

Thanks for the video! I will definitely be adding it to the OP. I noticed that you didn't enable the mouse support in the app on your phone. Do you not have root? It certainly makes for a much better experience

Don't you need a mouse plugged in for Morse support?

Mouse support wants Root

Glad you liked the video:D Embarrassingly I hadn't gotten around to Rooting my new phone and skipped over that part:eek: It definitely would have made for a smoother gameplay experience. I'm far from the screen when recording however, so that big cross hair actually made it a little easier to see where I was shooting:)

You can attach Bluetooth devices in Android before entering the game. If you have a rooted device there is an option (under controls) you can check for full mouse support. Even if you aren't using a rooted device the mouse will still work but you have to press and hold the left button to move the cursor.

I have an otg cable, plugging in a mouse makes a pointer appear, it should respond to the game the same right?

    This has finally been officially released on the Play Store under the name DIII4A! And it is still free to download! You can download it from the follow link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n0n3m4.DIII4A&hl=en

    This new release does not have much for an increase in performance, but it does have a simplified installation. The gl2progs folder is no longer needed as the app installs it and the configuration files are also not really needed, but can still be used for more advanced tweaking. There are also new options to use ETC1 compression and cache, but I would recommend leaving those off as it increased loading times for me and also reduced performance by a little bit.

    This game runs great on my Nexus 4 and other high-end devices! Playing with the onscreen controls is obviously not very good, but if you have a PS3 controller lying around you can get it to work perfectly with it using the Sixaxis Controller app. Just make sure to set it up to emulate a mouse and choose enable mouse in the app's control options (requires root). Purchase a GameKlip too for the ultimate gaming experience on the go! Mouse and keyboard also work great through either bluetooth or USB OTG.

    1) Install Doom 3 on your PC and make sure it is updated to the latest version which is 1.3.1.

    2) Copy over the base folder from the Doom 3 installation on your PC to your phone into a folder called diii4a. You can change the folder name if you like, just make sure you point the app to the new folder and you CANNOT put spaces in the folder name.

    3) Install the app. The latest version is currently v1.1.

    4) Start it up and you should have this amazing game running on your phone or tablet. Network features also work and you can even play games with people playing on PC! Here is a YouTube video showing this in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN26X93NUno
    Thanks to InsaneNutter for pointing this out!

    Also, if you're running it on an older device and the fps are too low, you can disable all the lighting effects by just selecting the "Disable lighting" option at the main menu of the app. The game will run MUCH smoother.

    Here is a great step-by-step video tutorial by RolandDeschain79 that also shows some gameplay comparisons between having the lighting enabled and disabled on his Note 2. Thanks man!

    Compiles Maps Too!

    Cool. It compiles maps too!

    I had to relearn the editor just to do this. lol

    Here is typing the command (dmap) which compiles the map:

    The game takes a few seconds, prints the compile log to console, and now we can run our freshly complied map:

    I'm still trying to figure out what is so dang hard for it to render. Two monsters, a box map, and two lights, and it runs the same as SP levels:
