No luck getting custom resolutions to work in DOOM3 . I have tried everything I know from the old Q3 engine no luck. For instance you set the customwidth and custom height to what ever then you would set r_mode "-1" which is supposed to allow it to use whatever you define. No luck on doom 3 though.

I thought it was touted to support widescreen out of the box?

It seems edit the basedoom3config.cfg with these line

seta r_customHeight "1200"
seta r_customWidth "1920"
seta r_mode "-1"

works for me. I am using a Philips 230W 23" 16:10 LCD.

However the aspect ratio seems not right, it looks like streched.

Anyone know how to fix the aspect ratio? I've got it in 1280x720, but its streched :(

Seems that iD fixed the aspect ratio. :cry:

Considering how popular widescreen displays are getting (especially in laptops) it's extremely short-sighted of developers to make the games worse for our community of gamers. :evil: (You can't tell me that everything wider than it should be makes a game look better, 'cause it doesn't!)

But then, lots of developers are doing it. Widescreen still isn't a big enough percentage for them to worry - even if we complain. *sigh*

Here is a link to a message on the [H]ard|OCP forums that has 1920x1200 shots and instructions on modifying the fov.

got mine running in 1920 x 1200 now, also changed the field of view by entering in the console G_fov 110.

DrAnubis I take it you run the same settings thus having the same monitor and card as myself ?

also is there a command that allows you to change the anti aliasing within the seta doom 3 script and fov ?

just wondered also what monitor refresh rate your running, take it 60 Hertz is our safe option in 1920x1200 ?

cheers

No idea yet. =(

I ordered from cdromshop.com and it shipped today (Wed). 2 day shipping from them with DHL express to London, U.K. so I should have it Friday and will test things out then. I can't wait until the 13th so I ordered it on import.

btw you may want these new beta CAT 4.9 drivers, supposed to give doom III a much better fps.
