Hey guys, this is my first post on here and I am a long time doom fan, blah blah blah, you know the deal. Anyways, got Doom 3 and I am having trouble with character faces. Its been doing the half shadowed face thing. I saw something on Activisions website saying to let doom pick the optimized settings and it will fix this. Well, did that and it still persisted so I set it back up the way I had it running before its running flawlessly as far as fps and quality is concered except for the shadow thing. I messed with my video card settings, and all the doom 3 settings, changed drivers, etc etc to try to get fix it. Can anyone recommend anything or point me in the right direction. It would be greatly appreciated. By the way everyone, the ImageCache tweak works incredibly. Everyone should check it out. Also does anyone know how to enable the console? I know to show it in other games you hit the ~ key or something like that, I cant remember, its been a while since the Half-Life days, I sure you guys can relate. Peace!

Hmmm check out my thread @ editing, and download the ultra extreme quality mod, see if the shadows work correctly then (the mod will cause monster and player rendered shadows, like it shoulda been;))

The mod didnt work, made it worse actually. Instead of just having one side of their head shadowed from the center to one side, it drew polygons all over their head and shaded those either completely black or the correct color and it would flicker from the right color to black as they moved. Dont know, someone give me some tips, i havent seen any other solutions.
