Is my Doom 3 broken? Perfected Doom 3 mod not working.

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I'm pretty new here, so if this is something really trivial or stupid, I'm sorry.

But what I'm whining about here is an error with Perfected Doom 3 mod. I saw some videos, and it looked incredible! You even get to fight the Icon of Sin again! So, naturally, I downloaded it and gave it it's own little folder to select via the mods menu on Doom 3.

Well, all was swell, until I started Doom 3 and clicked on it. It was loading fine, but when it finished loading, it gave me the "wrong game DLL API version" error, which I'm pretty sure means that I have to update the game to 1.3. But, I am pretty sure have that update. My game is updated to 1.3.1302. Am I missing something? Do I have the wrong update? Is this another post to go into Post Hell? Please give me some answers, friends!

Okay, so I found out that I had to update my game to 1.3.1...so I did! Unfortunately, this isn't an easy game to update ( I really don't think a game should be this hard just to update it ).

Well, my base folder and everything was an absolute mess from ages of custom maps and sound packs and things, so I re-installed Doom 3 to a new directory on a separate hard-drive, so there wouldn't be any chance of mods and things being in the way. Well, it was a completely fresh install and everything was finished installing, all was well, the game worked fine. So I downloaded the installer for 1.3.1...

Well, I swear this game either simply doesn't like me, or something is wrong with my copy, because when the update finished installing, and everything was well, it gave me an error after I tried to play the game.

Incoming giant wall of text.

And I just don't know what went wrong. I'm pretty sure it means that game03.pk4 is broken or something, but it simply doesn't have any reason to be. This is a completely fresh install.

Can I get some help please? Also, if this is a stupid and really common and easy fix that I just can't find for unknown reasons, feel free to hell this thread, but please message me a link to the fix!

Also I think it's pretty bad that an update that's supposed to fix the game's bugs and glitches breaks it. That just seems really counter-productive to me.
