Doom 3 ONLY plays at 640 x 489 resolution

[itsonlydanny]

Hi there,

 

Seeing how the the Dark Mod has just been released (), I re-installed Doom 3 (and the Resurrection of Evil expansion pack as well. just for the hell of it) in order to play this great looking mod. Yes, I installed the official 1.31 patch as well. Also, I have the latest Nvidia drivers.

 

However, for the life of me, I cannot get Doom3 to play on anything other than a 640 x 480 display resolution! Sure, I've altered the 'cfg' file (as laid out in the appropriate Wide Screen Gaming entry) but it always defaults to the most basic resolution possible. Very frustrating!

 

Any ideas how I can resolve this problem, as it looks Pig Ugly at this minimalist resolution?

 

Thanks,

 

DANNY

Don't know if this is the problem but first check this article to be sure your configs are synched and one is not overwriting another...

I had the same problem but found out I made a silly mistake. Please look the following topic, hope the solution is in there. Keep in mind that the resolution is not in the usual order in the cfg file. So it's not 'width x height' but 'height x width'.
