TROUBLESHOOTING ADDENDUM
IMPORTANT: Before changing your system or software setup we
recommend that you review your system manuals to ensure that
your modifications will not endanger any existing information
or hardware on your system or network. Modifying your system
or your software setup can be dangerous, and we cannot help
you with any resulting problems.
When DOOM runs, I get a "insufficient memory" error, or
DOOM just doesn't run.
You do not have enough free RAM to run DOOM. Try allocating
more memory for DOOM by selecting the DOOM icon (click on it
ONCE), then select "Get Info" from the File menu while in
the Finder. Increase the number listed as the "Preferred Size".
Also, quit all other applications. Turn off System Extensions
and Control Panels.
DOOM runs really slow, or locks or "pauses" on a fast
system (such as a PowerPC-based Macintosh).
Refer to the Read Me file about disabling System Extensions
and Control Panels that are not required in order to run
DOOM. Turn off all unnecessary Extensions and Control Panels.
Also, you can select "Kill Finder" in the setup dialogs. Do
not run from a CD/ROM, but copy the WAD file and the Music
folder to your hard drive and eject any CDs.
All PowerPC chips are not created equal. The PowerPC 601,
for instance, is much faster than the 603. To increase
playing speed, reduce the screen size, or change to Low
Resolution by selecting the "Graphic Detail" item in the
"Control" menu (it cycles between Low, Medium and High).
One player may be accessing a menu or the keyboard options
screen, which cause all other players in a multiplayer
mode to wait until the operation is complete. Frag the
player responsible to show your disapproval.
The function keys don't seem to work as advertised.
Some System Extensions (such as QuicKeys from CE Software)
will "remap" the function keys to other uses. Disable these
extensions, or temporarily turn them off while playing
DOOM. Also check your key settings in the Key Configuration
dialog, available by selecting "Movement..." from the Options
menu.
The Music sounds horrible, but I have QuickTime 2.0
loaded.
Ensure that you have a file called "QuickTime Musical
Instruments" installed in your Extensions folder. That
folder is located in your System Folder of your startup
hard drive. If not, install it from the CD/disks into
the Extensions folder.
Music is slower on the Macintosh than it is on the
IBMィ PC.
QuickTime is used for music (it's software), and is not as
fast as the MIDI-compatible sound cards (hardware) that
are common on IBM PCs. Thus, it has to share the processor
time with DOOM. Turn the music off by selecting "Music"
under the Options menu, or disable the QuickTime Extension
altogether.
I can't hear any music or sound effects even after changing
the Sound and Music volumes using the DOOM menu.
Check your master volume controls in the Sound Control panel.
The volume controls in DOOM change the DOOM output to the
range specified by the Macintosh's sound output volume
setting.
I've tried everything and still there's no music.
Check to make sure that the "Music" folder is located in
the same folder as the DOOM application. Also, QuickTime
allocates memory in both the "system heap" and "application
heap" and may not have enough memory. By disabling System
Extensions and Control Panels and by selecting "Kill Finder"
in the options dialog, you should free enough memory for
QuickTime to make its needed memory allocations on a Macintosh
with 8MB of installed RAM. You can determine the amount of
installed RAM by selecting "About This Macintosh..." under
the Apple menu while in the Finder. If the amount of RAM
you allocate for DOOM is too high, however, you may prevent
QuickTime from operating (see the error about "Insufficient
Memory" above).
I've received the message, "Consistency Failure" while
running DOOM in multiplayer mode.
For DOOM to run properly as a multiplayer game, all of
the machines that are running DOOM must maintain a nearly
identical status of the game during network play. If you
receive this message, something has occurred which caused
the multiplayer game on one computer to be different from
the multiplayer games running on the other systems. If
this occurs, all of the players must quit DOOM and restart
the game.
I've received the message, "Different versions of DOOM
cannot play a net game".
To improve DOOM, id Software updates it when necessary. You
cannot play a multiplayer game with someone who is using
a different version of DOOM. The Macintosh version number
is not identical with the overall DOOM version number.
Version 1.0 for Macintosh supports DOOM Version 1.9 for
the PC. Any updates of the Macintosh version will specify
the PC version needed. Updates ('patches') can be found
on on-line services or on the internet.
Why can't I get DOOM to run as a multiplayer game over
IPX/MacIPX?
If someone else is running DOOM in multiplayer mode over
an IPX network you may receive a network port conflict.
From the Multiplayer setup dialog, change DOOM to run
under a different port. Consult with the person in
charge of your network to receive a valid port address.
You must also ensure that you are using a compatible
version of IPX (most PCs use Ethernet 802.3, which can
be specified in the MacIPX Control Panel). Also, make
sure that you have "Always Auto-Configure Frame Type"
turned off.
Why isn't the motion smooth?
If the animation isn't running smoothly on your system
you should try reducing the window size and/or play
DOOM in LOW resolution mode. Also ensure that you
have disabled any unnecessary Extensions or Control
Panels. Refer to your DOOM manual or the multiplayer
addendum for instructions on these options.
DOOM also reads data in from the WAD file as it is
needed. If you have enough memory, create a RAM disk
using the Memory Control Panel and copy your WAD
file onto the disk image (it will show up on your
desktop). Double-click the copy of the WAD file on your
RAM disk to launch DOOM and use the RAM disk copy.
The WAD files are quite alarge, so you will need a
LOT of RAM to make use of this option (reduce DOOM's
memory requirement to 4500K while using a RAM disk).
I'm tired of looking at the company logos at
startup.
Press the Escape key or click the mouse button to
skip the logos and begin a single player game. Or
press "S" for single player options, or "M" for
multiplayer options.
I can't see the mouse or access the menubar.
Press Command-K to return to Keyboard mode (mouse
enabled for the menubar). To enable the mouse for
control of movement within DOOM, press Command-M
(or Command-J for Joystick).
