DOOM 3 BFG Edition OpenGL Startup Fix This fix comes from http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:U3rLwLHjZkkJ:ug.vnsguadm.org/viewtopic.aspx%3Fid%3Danxjv5aswy35+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a

"1. Go to %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM 3 BFG\base. You will find a file called D3BFGConfig.cfg there.

2. Open this file using notepad (right click and use the OPEN WITH command if you need to, and choose Notepad).

3. Scroll down until you find a command line that says set r_fullscreen "1" . This is going to sound strange, but you want to change the 1 to a 3 (set r_fullscreen "3") and it should work. Save the CFG file and run the game. Within the game, be sure to make any resolution setting changes under "Monitor 3" (For some of you it may only work under "2" or "4". See note below)"


Some people may not be able to do this because the .cfg file isn't made till the game is run at least once. if you can't find the .cfg file try this

"1. Go to the DOOM BFG directory in Steam. Typically the path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOM 3 BFG Edition

2. Right click on the file executable DOOM3BFG.EXE and create a shortcut to desktop. On Windows 7 it would be under right click, SEND TO, and then DESKTOP (CREATE SHORTCUT).

3. Once you have created a shortcut on your desktop, right click on it and choose PROPERTIES. In the target field, add "+set r_fullscreen 0" to the end of the target path (no quotes). There should be a space right before the +. Your target line should now look similar to the following:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOM 3 BFG Edition\Doom3BFG.exe" +set r_fullscreen 0 Also, the "+set r_fullscreen 0" can also be placed directly in the Steam launch options for your game (minus the quotes). Steam launch options can be accessed by right clicking on Doom 3 BFG in your Steam library and choosing "properties". It will be titled "Set Launch Options"."
