I loaded the game and there is a button on the main menu that says "MODS". Once I clicked on it and selected the mod, everything worked. Except for the resolution.

I loaded the mod again and it looks way better but for some reason... the max resolution is 1600 x 1200 instead of 2560 x 1400. Still looks way better.

The DoomConfig.cfg file is set as per the instructions.

Check "Run this program as administrator" in your D3 shortcut (Properties->Compatibility tab);
All you need is to add those strings in the autoexec or modify DoomConfig.cfg:
r_customwidth "1920" (or higher)
r_customheight "1080" (or higher)
r_mode "-1"
r_aspectratio "1" (0 is 4:3, 1 for 16:9, 2 for 16:10/15:9)

Make sure to load the base Doom 3 (And ROE if installed) at least once after you install the game in vanilla state (Without any mods, fresh install).
If you launched once, then start with copying essential HD 'base', 'd3xp' (and/or dxle) to the game directory and then do this;

Launch the game only after doing all these, then the mods will be applied and will stay applied for both Doom 3 & ROE (And Lost mission too if configured)

My recommendations: Use the low end CFG in add-ons, the malloc error will occur even on strong hardware unlike said to happen in low end systems, so if you want to keep playing smoothly without game crashing end of a level making you play the prev level again, you better do it (You won't loose that much graphic quality so I always use it)

Hello , thanks for the answers.
I found a solution myself. It turns out that using a source port solved every problem i had.
I just copied the files and it ran like butter.

I installed it but it didn't work in Resurrection of Evil, only worked in the base game.

worked for me. May have to load the mod in the menu.

If it isn't, just copy the 'DoomConfig' & "Autoexec' from 'Base' folder to 'D3xp', then run the game.
(Same applies to lost mission)

I did that and it still didn't do anything.

That seems to have worked. Someone else did suggest to me to put the mod in DHEWM3 but I was concerned it wouldn't work because DHEWM3 has limited mod support. Stuff like Perfected Doom 3 for example don't work in DHEWM3 (Trust me, I tried).

This is the mod I use with the HD texture pack.

As far as I know, when I install Essential HD pack v2.0, it doesn't actually show up on the "Mods" main menu screen. It simply just automatically loads. I'm running it through Dhewm3 sourceport though, as well as combining it with the Enhanced Edition mod. Maybe that's why it doesn't bother showing up on the mods screen.
