It will be with doom2.wad as iwad, right? Any other parameters besides "-complevel 2" will be needed?

Well, Quake Arena works awesome on this netbook... I know netbook is crappy, but I'd like to try... There is some way to drastically lower settings, just don't know which :( If it works very badly but almost playable in lowest settings, there's possibility that lowering like this launcher did would make me able to play... The launcher I probably have used is on FileFront, but link is dead: http://doom3.filefront.com/file/Doom_3_Tweaker;101467 EDIT You were right... My friend managed to find this program: https://sites.google.com/site/cleandesperado/doom3tweaker (which generates cfg files so it's completely compatible with Steam), but despite game looking like this: it lags even worse than before. Maybe it's because I use DirectX 11?

So, I have Doom 3 and RoE on Steam (not BFG edition), but performance on my netbook (most important info is I guess Intel® Atom™ 1,66GHz, 1GB RAM and integrated graphics GMA 3150) makes it impossible to play. You can say, OK, this is a netbook, what did you expect, BUT! I remember I managed to play smoothly on a Dell Latitude d610 which is kind of... a lot worse. I was playing installed from CD version then, and I was using some launcher... This launcher allowed to set quality so low that everyone looked like burn victim, but it was running pretty smoothly! I can't find it anywhere, probably it's gone like many d3 stuff, also even if I'd find it it wouldn't probably work with Steam version. But launcher probably changed things in config and in start command, which I CAN change in Steam, obviously. Or maybe there are some other ways? I wouldn't like it to be a mod though, because I'd mainly like to play Open Coop with friends and mod would probably make it incompatible to play...

Well, like I said, headbob was on... I don't imagine playing without autorun though, I'd be just a nuisance to my coop partners. Setting mouse to even slower then I have now also would make me play below ITYTD. All what is left are refresh rate (not sure if it's help since it's LCD so it shouldn't be a factor), using Open GL (which would make me unabled to play any game with a lot of monsters since I have bad PC, but it's better then nothing). But since those migraines aren't something that happens immidietally, but when it happens it's something that seriously disrupts my whole day, I can't quite experiment on myself blindly, that's why I'd want to see if anyone had problem on similar scale as me... Or maybe there are some methods to fix the other hardware? Taking aspirin 10 minutes before, meditating in some weird way, praying to Hissy? @up yeah... but this is open space level, there's a sky in most places...

I kinda registered for this thread... I play Doom since over 10 years, and you may guess it's special game for me. I used to play on regular basis since year, but had to stop. My problem is, not even headaches but full migraines, complete with visual aura, made playing impossible for me. I decided not to try competetive which was especially straining eyes some time ago, as I could felt strain and soreness after few minutes of playing. II started playing coops. Lately I noticed that ALL migraines ceased when I stopped playing Doom at all. Those migraines, appearing even few times a week and confining me to lying with my eyes covered for hours, were rather crippling, so I wasn't playing for two months now to avoid them. What exactly makes me feel bad very quick in Doom is: -fast movement for long time (competetive style) -low ceilings -fucking ashwall. I hate ashwall SO MUCH. It caused me for years playing Doom II finishing on The Pit, because of the chamber you gain yellow (iirc) key. Seriously, fuck ashwall. So, some technical data: I use small laptop with, obviously, LCD screen. I played on ZDoom-based newschool source port, but in software mode, because OGL has choppy performance. vidrefreshrate was set to automatic. Head bob was turned off. When I play on other ports... It's weird, but I feel better on vanilla Doom then on Chocolate Doom (I still feel better in modern ones). I think it may be also connected to mouse movement, because, for example, Odamex and Eternity default settings make me feel bad, too, even if source ports themselves have modern visual possibilities. And about my personal hardware: I did had migraines from using computers many years ago, when I had CRT. I am also sensitive to eye-raping gifs and other crap, not mentioning broken screens, those make me hurt withing minute. Like I mentioned earlier, I was pretty OK playing Source engine games, even very dynamic Portal. I've never had seizures and I was never diagnosed with neurological illnesses, apart of migraine. Pain is kinda weird though, because it's not head which hurts most, but back side of eyes. I had first pain like that when I was 13, I was scared as hell and doctors weren't sure wtf is happening, but then they found out it's just a migraine. It wasn't happening often though. I very rarely have motion sickness in vehicles, mostly when I am very tired and not slept well. When I asked my doctor why do I get migraines if I play video game on regular basis, she answered, "why do you play video games on regular basis then". So, do you think that there is some solution I'd could try? Anyone had it that severe? Or maybe I should put my plasma riffle to closet and retire?
