- Source port and modding support are available.
- Supports higher maximum frame rates compared to the original Doom 3.
- Mods for the original Doom 3 are not compatible with the BFG Edition unless converted for DOOM: BFA Edition.
- In-game cutscenes in Doom 3 and its expansions are unskipable unlike the original Doom 3. Use DOOM: BFA Edition or CstDoom3-BFG to reinstate skipping in-game cutscenes.
- Doom and Doom II in Doom 3: BFG Edition contain unique IWADs which may not be compatible with all Doom source ports. The red medical crosses on recovery items were also altered while the Nazi references from the secret Wolfenstein 3D levels of Doom II were removed; however, they can be restored with patches or using the original MS-DOS IWADs with DOOM: BFA Edition.

Issues fixed
DOOM 3: BFG doesn't start
- At launch, no window appears, no error message, nothing happens at all. Apparently this error is caused by most newer Nvidia drivers not being able to launch Doom 3 BFG in full screen.[citation needed]
Launch the game with +set r_fullscreen -1 +set r_windowHeight "YYYY" +set r_windowWidth "XXXX" +set r_windowY "0" +set r_windowX "0" parameter[10]
|
---|
Run the game at screen refresh rate
- By default, the game only accepts exactly 60 Hz or 120 Hz refresh rate via in-game option.
Set refresh rate with DOOM: BFA[11] |
---|
Notes
|
Set refresh rate with CVARs[12] |
---|
|
DOOM 3: BFG does not work in fullscreen unless displayed at the native resolution
- When selecting an in-game resolution anything other than the display's native resolution, the game gets reduced to a window on the top left corner of the screen.[13]
Disable DPI scaling[14] |
---|
DPI scaling can be disabled by either by going to the application properties or by disabling it system-wide through Windows scaling settings. |
Use a source port[15] |
---|
Chain gun fire rate is slow
- Chain gun fires more slowly if the game is running at 60 FPS.
Set the frame rate option to 120 FPS[16][17] |
---|
Wrong language selected by default
Set language manually[18] |
---|
OpenGL startup fix
Launch the game with +set r_fullscreen 3 parameter[19]
|
---|
Game crashes on loading screen
Use old AMD OpenGL driver[20] |
---|
|
"Achievements have been disabled" prompt appearing when taking screenshots when the console is not enabled
- By default, the game and the client's overlay use F12 for taking screenshots, which is considered enabling the console with the former.
- Certain mods like Old Ammo Count on Pickups will disable achievements no matter what. The only way to bypass this is through DOOM: BFA Edition by re-enabling Steam achievements.
Unbind the in-game Screenshot key and reload to a save before it happened[21] |
---|
Disable the console[3] |
---|
Use |
MSAA has no effect (RBDoom3BFG/DOOM: BFA Edition)
- The only anti-aliasing technique that works with HDR is SMAA.
Disable HDR to use MSAA[22] |
---|
|
Screen flashes white when taking damage (RBDoom3BFG/DOOM: BFA Edition)
- Certain video settings combinations can cause visual bugs such as pain flashes being replaced with a white flash in these source ports.
Disable motion blur if using SMAA or use MSAA instead when using motion blur (RBDoom3BFG)[23] |
---|
Disable filmic post-processing effects when using motion blur or vice-versa (DOOM: BFA Edition)[5] |
---|
|

Modifications
DOOM: BFA Edition
- A fork of RBDoom3BFG that adds some improvements and mod support for Doom 3: BFG Edition and the classic Doom games, the ability to play Doom II's other expansion and classic Doom command line arguments support. It is also compatible with the Doom 3 (2019).
- This source port will disable Steam achievements unless this add-on is used.
- Comes bundled with a
pk4toBFG
tool that can convert original Doom 3 mods to be compatible with Doom 3: BFG Edition to an extent. - Adds a
CDL.exe
after installation that allows customization such as the changing the game's localization, among many different options for all the games included in the collection. Some of these options can be accessed through an added Advanced Settings menu within the game.
Doom 3 BFG Mod Launcher
- Enables usage of basic Doom 3 mods consisting of replaced sounds and textures (e.g. Perfected Doom 3).
- Comes with a build of RBDoom3BFG for Windows and a tool which extracts all contents of Doom 3: BFG Edition to a moddable structured folder. Mods with modified
dll
files will not work.
Doom 3 BFG Hi Def
- Offers higher poly-count models, TGA textures, and effects including soft shadows (RBDoom3BFG).
- A .resources version of Doom 3 BFG Hi-Def mod adds support for RBDoom3BFG and Doom 3: BFA Edition.
CstDoom3-BFG
- CstDoom3-BFG is a gameplay mod for Doom 3 BFG Edition. It is based on CstDoom3 for Doom 3.
- Source code included in downloads
- Includes fixes for a considerable amount of bugs, an corrects the aspect ratio in the classic Doom games to 4:3.

- Reintroduces optional cut content, such as the Phasing Effects in Delta X.
- Does not fix the Nightmare enemy speed in the classic Doom games.
- Not compatible with Doom 3 (2019) and other source ports due to the inclusion of its own modified engine.
Ungibbable
- Enables corpses to remain after enemy death (instead of disappearing), a common complaint of Doom 3 upon release.
- Converted to work with Doom 3 BFG Hi Def and RBDoom3BFG/Doom 3: BFA Edition.
Old Ammo count on pickups
- Brings back the original ammo count from Doom 3 (2004).
- Not compatible with CstDoom3-BFG as it has its own original ammo distribution setting.
- Works even with the vanilla game.
No flashlight beam
- Removes the beam effect of the flashlight.
Roland Sound Canvas (1996) GUS Patches
- A replacement for the default Gravis UltraSound MIDI instruments used for the classic Doom games in the BFG Edition. Can be downloaded here.
