Doom Freezes

[Dalto]

I am having a problem with Doom that it freezes on level 2 of the commercial doom. It freezes whenever I try to grab the big blue thing outside. Everytime.

I tried speeding up and slowing down clock speed but that didn't help.

Can anyone help with this?

Is this with the new version? V10?

Never heard of this error before, could you have a bad wad file?

I have tried it with both V9 and V10.

It is the standard commercial doom WAD file. I pulled it off the original 3.5" floppies in my closet last night. Do I need to modify the WAD file in some way?

No, it doesn't need to be modified, just named doom1.wad.

Any idea where I can get another WAD to test with? I know there were some on Drumaster's site but that does not seem to exist anymore.

Get the shareware version of Doom 1, it should be really easy to find.

Holy shit your right! Whered it go!?

You should checkdisk or scandisk your floppy disk, it could have corrupted the file.

Weird, what did happen to drumaster's site?

Also, if you transferred the WAD via PCLink, that in itself may have corrupted the file. (We've heard lots of reports taht transferring big files they get corrupted)

Try transferring it via a card reader and see if that fixes it.

Hmm...I did transfer it using PC Link, and it took a long damn time . I will try to transfer it again via the card reader when I get home.

OK...I recopied the WAD file using a card reader but I still have the same problem. It freezes when I grab the big blue thing.

Also...I noticed that when it freezes it says loading... in the bottom right corner of the screen.
