Widescreen Gaming Forum

I was having all kinds of issues with this game.
My usual resolution is 5780 x 1200, Surround with 980 Ti in SLi.
If I tried to load the game simply to start it, it would crash during the Bethesda screen. I could load and play using one screen, 1920 x 1200.
I still can't adjust the resolution from the video options in the game, but......

If I go to : user/savedgame/DOOM/Base/Doomconfig
open the config file with notepad. Scroll to the bottom.
Enter: r_customwidth 5780
r_customheight 1200

save the changes.

Reload the game and it will run perfectly in three screen Surround. I am using driver version 365.10, both GPUs are being utilized at about 75% under this configuration, running 70-90 FPS.

It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

TY.

Seems the intro videos are causing all sorts of problems, for many people, myself included. You can bypass those intros entirely, by adding this command to the Steam Doom's Launch Options, or the game's shortcut or however you launch it: "+com_skipIntroVideo 1"


Also FYI for people having lag or low fps issues, this game is a memory hog, both system and vram. On my system, during Doom gameplay, I often am over 10gb of system RAM usage, and over 5gb vram in surround-display. Even in single 1080p vram usage is over 3gb. Even though a 780ti or any recent quad-core is more than powerful enough, if (v)RAM usage is maxed out, then the gpu or cpu isn't gonna get data to process fast enough.

Wow. Just have to add my thanks to HaYDeN. Doom is absolutely SPECTACULAR on a single GTX980Ti driving 3 Dell U2414H's. Thank you SO much. I donated.

I am running 3 monitors with desktop res of 5760 x 1080 when I run DOOM after installing
"Flawless Widescreen" the game is running in 4989 x 768 (85x16). Is there a better mode to run it in? I am also running "Fullscreen". I did mess with settings, but I have no idea what I did honestly. When the game first ran it was set to only run one monitor.

Thanks.

In Doom's menu, set aspect ratio to 16:3, then the resolution 5760x1080 should appear as an option. If those options don't appear, then the issue is with your GPU drivers not reporting the expected resolutions, because Doom just asks the GPU what resolutions are available and lists options based on that.

Doesn't anyone else have a 120Hz/144Hz monitor? This Vsync being locked at 60 is driving me nuts! Any fixes for that? Disabling Vsync is not a fix

Thanks that did it, I missed that.
I have to say thanks to Hayden, and I think I will donate today since this is really nice work here!

BTW, when I installed Flawless Widescreen it just loaded all the game plugins automatically, even thou I thought I chose not to.
Is it not best to only load the plugins you have games for?

I've updated (and completed) the DR. I've updating the grading to reflect the retail release. I've added all new matching gameplay shots using Flawless Widescreen. Also added screenshots for cut-scenes, FMVs, menus, and for 4k UHD resolution.

I think it just pulls the list of available plugins, and then you install them manually. That's how it is on mine. I have a section called "Installed Plugins" and then "Available Plugins".
