Hi everyone. I have a very strange problem with TDM. I can only describe it by saying that 3d graphics are "distorted" in a very weird way. I would like to take a screenshot, but the print screen key merely copies a grey rectangle to the clipboard, and pressing F12 does not seem to save a screenshot anywhere that I can find in the doom 3 directory, nor in my user profile directory. If you imagine looking at the pillars at the start of the training mission... for me it appears that the center of the screen has been shifted and stretched towards the right edge of the screen. Thus nothing seems to line up and the perspective of the scene looks very strange. Objects only seem to highlight if they are positioned towards the right edge of the screen as well. This happens with a variety of different screen resolutions, both in 4:3 and my monitor's native 16:10 aspect ratios. The bug does not seem to happen when just running Doom 3 by itself. My video card is an ATI Radeon HD 4980. I'm using the 9-12 driver version. I am downloading 10-1 at the moment and will try it later. My operating system is the 64-bit version of Vista Home Basic SP2. While I'm here, there is another problem. The tdmlauncher.exe in the darkmod directory does not work; it only launches Doom 3. I followed the advice on the FAQ and created a shortcut to "D:\Apps\Steam\Steam. exe -applaunch 9050 +set fs_game_base darkmod" which does launch TDM, but TDM does not recognise previously-installed FMs. For instance, I have to install the tutorial level every time I run the game. Looking at the doom 3 folder, I see 'training_mission' and tdmlauncher.log (attached) are being created in "D:\Apps\Steam\steamapps\ common\doom 3"--perhaps that is a clue?
