Issues fixed
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[9] |
---|
Notes
|
Set refresh rate with CVARs[citation needed] |
---|
|
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[10][11] |
---|
Wrong language selected by default
Set language manually[12] |
---|
OpenGL startup fix
Launch the game with +set r_fullscreen 3 parameter[13]
|
---|
Game crashes on loading screen
Use old AMD OpenGL driver[14] |
---|
|
"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[15] |
---|
Disable the console[3] |
---|
Use |
MSAA has no effect (RBDoom3BFG)
- The only anti-aliasing technique that works with HDR is SMAA.
Disable HDR to use MSAA[16] |
---|
|
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)[17] |
---|
Disable filmic post-processing effects when using motion blur or vice-versa (DOOM: BFA Edition)[18] |

Modifications
DOOM: BFA Edition
- A fork of the inactive 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 2019 Bethesda.net re-release of Doom 3.
- Comes bundled with a
pk4toBFG
tool that can convert original Doom 3 mods to be compatible with Doom 3: BFG Edition to an extent.
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.
