- 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.

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[18]
|
---|
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[19] |
---|
Notes
|
Set refresh rate with CVARs[20] |
---|
|
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.[21]
Disable DPI scaling[22] |
---|
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[23] |
---|
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[24][25] |
---|
Wrong language selected by default
Set language manually[26] |
---|
OpenGL startup fix
Launch the game with +set r_fullscreen 3 parameter[27]
|
---|
Game crashes on loading screen
Use old AMD OpenGL driver[28] |
---|
|
"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[29] |
---|
Disable the console[8] |
---|
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[30] |
---|
|
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)[31] |
---|
Disable filmic post-processing effects when using motion blur or vice-versa (DOOM: BFA Edition)[13] |
---|
