Widescreen Gaming Forum

yup. everything patched and updated.

What happens if you bring down the console and type "r_AspectRatio" ?

I am having the same problem running this game on my 8800 GTS. I thought I'd reinstall this game just to run it on Ultra settings and was disappointed they never patched this for widescreen resolutions.

I already tried editing the cfg file in the Doom 3 folder, and every time I save the changes and run it, the game keeps reverting back to its default 640 x 480 settings. Not only that, but I can't seem to change it to any other resolution besides the 640 x 480. For instance, if I wanted to change it to 1600 x 1200 let's say, the game will tell me to restart and when I run it again its still at 640 x 480. This is also the same when I want to set it to 16x AA. Any solutions?

I'm also running on an 8800GTS. However it's 1440x900 when i start the game (what i want), however it says that it's "640x480" when i start the game, even though it's in the correct format.

For instance, if I wanted to change it to 1600 x 1200 let's say

Your monitor can't handle 1600x1200. Your monitor is 1050 pixels tall, and 1600x1200 is 1200 pixels tall. Try using 1680x1050 instead.

Sorry I meant that as an example. I meant it wouldn't change the resolution higher than 640 x 480. I changed the cfg file to change the resolution to 1680 x 1050, but it doesn't change every time I restart the game.

I treid it today aswell and it works ace even when the game tels me the reso is 640/480 . the screenshots tell me diffrend

hehe ^^ this game has some great lighting and sound effects. Playing at night with surround sound on in the dark is a must.

I hate when the lights go out and I hear noises and I have to turn on my flashlight.

However for some reason I didnt like the game much, I got maybe 1/3 thru it and kinda got bored/stuck.

I on the other hand got more startled and liked doom 64 more.

So for visuals this game is A+++ but for originality it fails to me. Maybe if I get further in the game it gets better (was so sick of the same weps, low ammo, and nothing but just a imp spawning behind me and throwing fireballs and stuff)

I would say that the game gets better later on. They saved the best stuff for about the last third of the game. I would agree that the game is rather tedious and repetitive in the beginning. And the middle.

Well I've followed all the directions here, I've downloaded the latest patch and everything but there is no doomconfig.cfg file. What could be wrong here, why don't I have this file? Please help me out I'm lost here.
