Skatepunk60 Posted August 8, 2002 Well i went and bought Doom off eBay and when i put it on my comp It started up w/ the ultimate doom title screen .. weird but playable until you beat e1m8 it then gives a getsumname error and asks for a help2 file. Ive reinstalled it 3 times and still the same thing this stinks and i know its fixable just dont know HOW to fix it. EDIT: My AIM handle is Jami3 Th0mas , ill try to be on till late if someone has ideas thanks 0 Share this post Link to post
esayeek Posted August 8, 2002 w_getnumforgame i assume? and it asks for HELP2 you say? when the game starts up, what appears at the top during the start messages: the ultimate doom 1.9? registered doom 1.9? shareware doom 1.9? (if it comes up with a different version number, please report of course). and what color is this bar that displays one of the aforementioned things? when you go to start a new game, you see the episode selection screen, starting with "knee deep in the dead". how many episodes are there on the list? 3 or 4? what happens when you try to select each episode? 0 Share this post Link to post
Skatepunk60 Posted August 9, 2002 ok , starting up there is no screen w/ that stuff on it ..which is VERY weird there are 3 episodes and when i quit game is says thank you for playing the ultimate doom a hellish .. ect. EDIT and it plays the three episodes 0 Share this post Link to post
esayeek Posted August 9, 2002 you said you get "the ultimate doom" title screen. meaning the splash screen with "DOOM" in enormous letters and the green marine on it, it has in gold letters at the top "the ultimate". and then you say there are 3 episodes in the episode select screen, "knee deep in the dead", "shores of hell", and "inferno"? 0 Share this post Link to post
Skatepunk60 Posted August 9, 2002 yeah i got it off of eBay on a cd a while ago and thats how it installed 0 Share this post Link to post
Skatepunk60 Posted August 9, 2002 It says doom startup 1.9 and the bar is grey and it says its not shareware and not to distribute it 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted August 9, 2002 Apparently you have Ultimate DOOM, but the executable is the one for plain DOOM (or DOOM II, it's the same one)... This can't happen from a genuine CD, so you must have bought a pirated (or messed up) copy. 0 Share this post Link to post

Draconio Posted August 25, 2002 Did you try running it under a sourceport? If only the exe is screwed, it should work fine under a port. 0 Share this post Link to post
