Crash on startup

[potato_aim]

I can't even get the game to start, when I launch from steam my screen goes completely grey and then I get a message saying "Doom 3 BFG edition has stopped working" after which I have to close it. I'm trying to run it on a laptop with an Intel core i7-740QM and an ATI Mobility radeon HD 5870. Is there a fix for this?

Forgot to mention that my i7 is clocked at 1.73ghz and the Mobility radeon has 1GB memory

Put it in xp compatibility mode in properties: Steam/Steamapps/common/DOOM 3 BFG Edition.......god luck!!!!

That actually made it not crash for me, but all I got was a little white box and mostly black screen, then a fully white screen...nothing I could do with it.

HONESTLY I had that problem and I upgraded my graphics card 2 days ago and it has worked fine so it might be the graphics card

im using a GeForce 8400 GS 512mb

Everytime I try to run it I just get a blue window of command prompts saying there was an error and that it shut itself down. the main line of importance seemed to be:
ERROR: GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex not available

I tried running in compatibility mode for XP as well, same problem.

Look at the Minimum System Requirements for the Game.

Using recommendation from DarthMocker I was able to run it on Win7 Pro. It finally told me that I was missing a file and need to re-install DirectX. Which I got from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/search.aspx?q=directx, after which I can now run it.

I solved the problem by installing updated atioglxx.dll library.You should look in internet for atioglxx.dll version 6.14.1011631.Unzip the file , then put it into C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder (this work for win 7 64 bit version).If you have win 7 32bit put it into C:\Windows\System32 .

On GPD WIN 2 I simply set the .exe properties to "Windows XP service pack 3" under compatibility mode and it worked fine. For other problems make sure you have the most recent drivers installed via your graphics card software

If still having problem you shgould use RBDoom 3 BFG sourceport.
It fixes alot of problems running the game on newer systems

This version has more features and has original doom 3 weapon or flashlight as a option
