[Hunter Alyx]

Hi, I just got DOOM 3 BFG the other day, and every time I try to start it, a pop up shows up and says

oh, I forgot to add something. The original DOOM 3 worked my laptop when it had windows 7 installed..

Its Really annoying, I tried everything that ppl said that should fix this, but no solutions.

[Hunter Alyx]

Screw it, I give up, I'll just go play Half-Life

[76561198079383589]

they always release games and make you wait for the patches.....

Hmm, I've never had a problem with Doom 3, not a problem with loading the GL system since id software put out Quake 2 in '97, and that was patched out in a few days. I've gotten Doom 3 to work on several microsoft operating systems and several linux operating systems with no tweaking on either o/s. As long as your graphics hadware is better than circa '06 the game will run it smooth. I'm 90% sure that you're experiencing "pebcak" errors.

Eh?

BF is having problems downloading his gift copy of Doom 3 on Windows 7 laptop. What is "pebcak" errors you speak of, and did anyone find out anything to make the game work?? He says nobody has contacted him after numerous emails to Steam. I have no clue... Anyone?? I paid good money for this game - I'd like to get what I paid for.

[76561198079383589]

send a copy of your MSINFO and DxDiag to these people [e-mail]

Hey,

I have another or similar problem. First my Doom 3 BFG started well and I had issues... since three days I have problems to start it: long black screen, then white screen, then weird rendering and problems with the framerate. I always have to restart per task-manager. Anyone who has the same problem and an idea how to fix it? Thanks in advance. Mrorange.

[MysticalDoom]

Any news on how to fix this initial problem DJ Rainbow Dude was on about, I got the same and it sucks.

DeviceString: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family lol isn't it a laptop?
Keep in mind that Doom3 BFG runs on RAGE's engnine which way newer and more demanding than old Doom 3's engine.
