Screen is just completely white...

[까꿍]

When I start up the game the screen turns completely white but I hear all the sounds... I restarted my computer too and it didn't help.

Desktop or laptop? What video card do you have? What OS? What version of video driver?

I have the same problem...
First I had the blue screen with "Unable to initialize openGL", then updated my graphic drivers :
laptop Acer Aspire 8943G
Windows 7 64bits
Intel Core i7 620M 2.67GHz - 3.0GHz Turboboost
RAM 4Go
Mobility radeon hd 5850 with latest drivers (AMD VGA 8.741.1.5 2011/01/20)
opengl 4.0

I tried every "set r_fullscreen 0 1 2 3 and 4" in "Saved Games\id Software\DOOM 3 BFG\base\D3BFGConfig.cfg"
and of course no solution on google :'(
please help

edit : I tried to create a shortcut too with "compatibility win XP" and "run as admin", any other idea ?

edit 2 : maybe this could help ??

>> with latest drivers (AMD VGA 8.741.1.5 2011/01/20)

Those are not latest drivers. Latest drivers are from this year of 2013, this month or last month. Download from AMD directly.

For the love of AMD, stop offerring this nonsense.

Indeed I got the latest drivers posted on acer.com for my laptop, but I found the latest for my gpu (13.12).
It doesn't work, same problem. Another idea ?

[motorsep]

Install latest driver?

Then locate atiogl.dll (or whatever DLL that workaround link talks about) in your c:\windows\* (one of the subfolder) and copy it to your BFG's folder (next to .exe)

Nothing worked, and CCC didn't want to open with the latest drivers so I reinstalled the latest from acer.
I hope they will find a patch to fix this because radeon hd 5850 still rocks and I didn't pay doom 1, 2 and 3 HD to look at the title in my list of games....

Lesson to learn here - don't buy laptops with AMD video cards. Or don't buy AMD at all, period. Good hardware. but piece of crap software engineers and managements ruin experience for both developers and gamers.

I got it to work thanks guys :) had to update driver xD

Ok thank you for the lesson. Every driver I downloaded wasn't compatible with my GC, and then I don't know how it finally worked after the message "Driver was successfuly UNinstalled, please restart your computer now" (who said "logic" ?)
Now I have the beginning of the intro and then the game stops working. (sorry for my bad english)
So I give up, I'll wait for a new computer.... unless you have an easy solution.
Thank you for your time ;)
For everyone, if it doesn't work, update your drivers.
