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.
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[citation needed] |
---|
|
DOOM 3: BFG won't play fullscreen unless at native resolution
- When selecting anything other than your native resolution the game gets reduced to a window on the top left corner of your screen.
Disable DPI Scaling option either by going to the application properties or by disabling it on a system level through windows scaling settings[12] |
---|
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[13][14] |
---|
Wrong language selected by default
Set language manually[15] |
---|
OpenGL startup fix
Launch the game with +set r_fullscreen 3 parameter[16]
|
---|
Game crashes on loading screen
Use old AMD OpenGL driver[17] |
---|
|
"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[18] |
---|
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[19] |
---|
|
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)[20] |
---|
Disable filmic post-processing effects when using motion blur or vice-versa (DOOM: BFA Edition)[5] |
---|
|
Graphics being corrupted after updating Nvidia drivers to 496.13
Upgrade the driver up to version 496.49 or higher.[21] |

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 2019 Bethesda.net re-release of Doom 3.
- 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 you to customize the language of the u.i. 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.

- Reintroduces optional cut contents, such as the Phasing Effects in Delta X.
- An optional local Achievements system.
- Not Compatible with other source ports such as RBDoom3BFG, Doom 3: BFA Edition and Doom 3 BFG Hi Def 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.
