Bad death animations in Doom 3

[Crazy Joe]

I am having a problem with the death animations in the game. Everytime I kill something instead of flopping to the ground everything seems to assume a postion like they are on a cross... (upright with arms spread out to their sides) I have an Athlon XP 3200+ with 1GB RAM and ATI Radeon 9500 Vid Card. Anyone heard of this problem and/or know how to fix it? I've tried changing the graphic settings and nothing helps... Any ideas?

Woah, Hrmmm try reinstalling the game. That is usually an error in my experience when the ragdoll file fails to load properly.

Maybe the new 1.1 patch if they have released it yet.

[Crazy Joe]

Well I reinstalled it and now it's crashing every time I try to load one of my old save game files to see if the problem is fixed...

Sounds like re-installing fixed the problem by fixing your ragdoll physics file, but because the game data has changed old save games areno longer valid. Have you tried starting again and seeing if the death animations are fixed?

Word. It's a do-over!

[Crazy Joe]

Yea, that worked... So I guess I have to start over...

[GHoosdum]

Now you can fix the mistakes you made the first time... for instance, this time play Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3 before the machine breaks.

[Crazy Joe]

Yep... Pretty funny email you get when you get the High Score!!

[GHoosdum]

In the kitchen, near the marine HQ entrance.

[Crazy Joe]

He he he... Just wait until you get 25,000 points... :)

[Sputnik]

[Crazy Joe]

Yep, you can play it until everything goes to Hell...
