FAIL on steam version :(doom 3)

for the detailed error message.

Most important line.

"wrong game DLL API version"

It could be the problem that the others in this thread have been having ... did you check it out ?

See this by Mach1.9pants on page 3 ... "wrong game DLL API version"

Here is what I did to get the latest versions of Quake 4 and Doom 3 to work in 16:4 with the TripleHead.

1. I downloaded 7-zip to be able to read .pk4 files.
2. I downloaded Hex Workshop.
3. I located all qamex86.dll files (both in the base directory or in any .pk4 files)
4. As "Paddy the Wak" suggested, I used Hex Workshop to replace 16bit float value 9 by 16 bit float value 4 (using Edit>Replace, 1 occurrence in each file).
5. I updated the .cfg files with the following settings :

seta r_customHeight "1024"
seta r_customWidth "3840"
seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_aspectRatio "1"

Good luck and enjoy you games.

Thanks ... djib ... welcome to the forum ... 8)
I don't have the games installed any more so that should help a few folks ... :D

I just bought the ID Superpack last evening on Steam the fix works up until replacing the .dll files and then the "wrong game DLL API version" error. I'm going to test out this hex code fix and hope for the best!

Edit: SUCCESS! Doom 3 from Steam is working in triplehead! I will post details once I get ROE working!

The hex edit is working for both Doom 3 and ROE. If it pleases the admins/mods I can upload the modified .dll and .pk4 files for other people to use.
