Report a translation problem
When I launch Doom 3 BFG I believe it may be an OpenGL problem, but I also see in the blue box: ERROR: GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex not available.
Either / or ... if I can find, or even create that D3BFGConfig.cfg file, I may be set. I just don't see it. Thank you though for your contributions though!!!
If its of any help to you, I looked up your issue and saw that a few people mentioned the vertex error you are receiving may be due to the graphics card being unable to run it (lacking ability to run certain newer features). You can check if your system meets minimum requirements for running Doom 3 BFG by running a test on the following link. Doom 3 BFG is in the dropdown box to test:
http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/intro.aspx
1. Go to the DOOM BFG directory in Steam. Typically the path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOM 3 BFG Edition
2. Right click on the file executable DOOM3BFG.EXE and create a shortcut to desktop. On Windows 7 it would be under right click, SEND TO, and then DESKTOP (CREATE SHORTCUT).
3. Once you have created a shortcut on your desktop, right click on it and choose PROPERTIES. In the target field, add "+set r_fullscreen 0" to the end of the target path (no quotes). There should be a space right before the +. Your target line should now look similiar to the following:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOM 3 BFG Edition\Doom3BFG.exe" +set r_fullscreen 0
4. This trick worked on the old Doom 3 and luckily it still works with the BFG edition. Theoretically you should be able to change the "0" in the fullscreen command I just mentioned to a "3", and bypass all the CFG editing altogether though I haven't tested that. I don't see why it shouldn't work though. At the very least, with the "0" it will allow you to run it in windowed mode and make the fixes listed above. Hope this works for those of you unable to run the game to create a Saved Games directory.
p.s. will only run at 1280x720 on 1080 monitor - best it will get? Ive changed config file, but it seems to revert back to 1280x720 with no in game menu options to increase resolution..
thanks again for the fix.
