Weapons/Muzzle flashes in Doom3

[caesardog]

Is it true that playing in Medium quality you don't get muzzle flashes in Doom3? I'm at work, so I can't check it now.

I read that on High quality you do get muzzle flashes when firing weapons -- which you need due to the low lighting. But on Medium quality you don't get the flashes?

Anyone know the answer to this?

It is true, but easy to fix. Just edit the .config file and turn on muzzle flash. No reports of it seriously impacting performance.

Well screw that. I'm playing on high quality then, but at 800 x 600. Who knows what else you miss in high quality.

In 1024 x 768 I'm smoother at medium quality (over high) -- Geforce FX 5900XT -- but at 800 x 600 on high quality, I get all the bells and whistles, and smooth game play.

I also am told that all of the sound files may not be used on medium quality. I want ALL the sound too.

What is worse is the muzzle flash isn't bright enough to even help guide your aim when fighting. If someone could mod that I would have less trouble with the flashlight dynamic.
