I have purchased and tried to play this, unfortunately I have been unable to get more than 3 minutes into the game. Everytime I press tab to pull up the journal (PDA) the game locks up on me. Completely. I have to reboot my entire system.
Any thoughts? I have a decent card in the Radeon 9800 Pro and I have turned off my virus software. Again, any thoughts?

That sounds like a video driver crash to me. Sorry if it's obvious, but have you got the newest/best for D3 ones?

I thought I did. I guess I can go look see if they have put anything new out within the last two weeks.

dont forget sound drivers.

doom3 runs pretty stable afaik so if you are having issues it's prolly drivers.

Try turning your sound accel down a notch to two. If you have a soundblaster card that can fix a lot of random crashes you get on some machines.

Gumps, I had the same exact problem.
I turned down the sound acceleration and it worked like a charm.
