Do you have an ATI graphic card?

 

Do these entries help you?

AMD bought ATI, so all AMD graphic cards are former ATI cards now :) (I guess we should mention this in the FAQ?)

Could be a FOV issue? I've had the ATI/AMD problems and I don't ever recall feeling it looked squeezed... feeling the character was drunk out of his mind and staggering sideways yes, but squeezed vision no

so far it was just the training mission to me it looked like you had a fish tank one of those round ones on your head the world looked kinda zoomed in but as far as i have seen looks like just the training mission that came with the dark mod

Can you plz record this with Fraps and put it on YT? Would be nice to see if that was some exotic bug.

 

Another option would be to use RadeonPro to disable Catalyst AI. Just search the Wiki for RadeonPro, you'll find all necessary info there.

This sounds like an aspect ratio problem I've been having, The world isn't completely insane after the latest Catalyst updates, but it looks very squeezed together, almost like the screen is supposed to be many times larger! This only applies to the 3D world, the light gem is fine. Also it only applies at certain resolutions, sadly those are the same resolutions I can run without the game sticking a couple centimetres outside the sides of the screen. My aspect Ratio is 16:9 and it is set to that in game, so I don't understand what's wrong.

I'd gladly record a video of it if I had enough space for that. I don't have a single gigabyte free at the moment.

You may need to edit your autoexec.cfg (if you have one, or make one if you don't) and put the resolution and aspect ratio in there.

 

Mine is in c:\games\doom 3\base

 

r_mode -1

r_customWidth 4320

r_customHeight 900

 

That's mine, replace my numbers with yours, the mode -1 stays the same. Do this with Notepad, save as files - all types, call it autoexec.cfg

Does this help?

Someone in this forum already had such an issue, caused by an AMD graphics card.

 

I also had this one and solved it just by deactivating Bloom ("Post Processing" in the subcategory Advanced in the graphics options menu).

Same here - i had this once. Search for "fisheye" there is the thread. You can simply deactivate the "effects" in the video advanced settings. That did it for me.

That'll fix it too, but for me, I must have all the shinies, so the more complex fix was in order. Either way, hopefully the OP's issue has been resolved.

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
