yeah but shouldn't it give you an error message if the graphics are too much for your video card? I think it would do so before even enterign the main menu of the game.

If I were you I would try to download and install it again in case there was an error that happened while downloading. It may have corrupted some data or I get a bug with my torrent client sometimes that tells me a file is complete when it is not. Sometimes when it's incomplete it' still complete enough to play what it has.

Dude, I remember when all games for Mac were hard to load...Prince of Persia 1 & 2, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom2 for Christ Sake!

But that was back in the PowerMac Days.

Also, the graphics might be superior in single player as compared to multiplayer and the main menu, so if it was the graphics, once you are already in the game it probably has it's own error-handling that will send you back to the main menu, in which case the O.S's error-message prob wouldn't happen. So if you have access to the main menu, first you should try to put the graphics on low-quality.

No no...it should work, if it's a recently updated version, but his processor might be having trouble loading a game that size...who knows? Mac version games are strange anyways...and rare.

I play it all the time now on PC...Story Mode works fine but Multi doesnt work...my internet connection is up, but I can't play...it's wierd.

It's not wierd at all. Unregistered games never work online, and if you find one that does I'd really like to see it, cause the people who made it must be total dumbdumbs. You can't stop someone from cracking code but you can stop them from logging onto ur server unless ur really ballsy and hope to god the serial number and keygen you gave them both match those assigned to actual legit copies.

it works multi..it loads the levels in multi..so its not the graphic card

plus my graphic card is a 9600 Radeon wich is one of the best and 128mb...wich is enough to run doom 3....

if the single player and multi-player are made in the same quality with the same engine, which isn't always the case, then obviously you need to download it again.
