seta r_customHeight "1080"
seta r_customWidth "1920"
seta r_fullscreen "1"
seta r_mode "-1"

Try this: Go to the Doom Config file and change to the above.

Any idea how to fix the framerate issues? I'm getting only around 48 fps, for whatever reason.

If you don't want to use a mod. Which, IMO, if you are playing DOOM 3 [Original], mods are blasphemy. I'm a purist though, I only mod games to fix bugs,UI's or resolution. Other than that I leave games the way the developers intended them to be played and only change what I can via config files. With some tweaking DOOM 3 supports what ever resolution you want as well as aspect ratio.
Go to :

...\Steam\steamapps\common\Doom 3\base

Open DoomConfig with Notepad or Notepad++

search for r_mode
change value to "-1"
**this unlocks the resolution**

Just above 'r_mode' there will be these lines

seta r_customHeight
seta r_customWidth

Changes these values to "1080" and "1920"
**self explanatory**

Next search for 'r_aspectratio'
change value to "1"
**this sets 16:9 ratio, 0 = 4:3 and 2 = 16:10**

Save and close DoomConfig

Now launch the game and you will have 1080p with proper widescreen scaling, without the need of a mod. Just make sure you never change the resolution in game or the settings well revert on 'r_mode' and 'r_aspectratio', which will need to be changed again.

**there is also an option for full screen in the DoomConfig, just search for it and change it's value to "0" [0 = OFF 1 = ON]. Or, IIRC you can swap full screen/windowed by pressing LCTRL+ENTER. This can make the game bug out to a white/gray screen, and to fix this you need to ALT+TAB out, then back in. It's best ot make all changes in the DoomConfig though. It's also good practice to get into the habit of setting all your games up this way. A lot of times there are option in config files that are not present in the menu options of games, and allows full control over your game.

I.E. - The infamous Fallout 3/NV stutter. This can be fixed without the need of a mod as well, if people would learn to use the config files to their advantage. =)

Hi Badger,

thanks for the explanation, resolution change to 1920x1080 is working.

Got problems with alt+tab though; from fullscreen, i can see the window preview, but when i release alt+tab, Doom 3 stays in foreground. When using windowed mode, the resolution doesnt match the screen size because Doom 3 is not in borderless windowed mode. (and of course, one won't play the game with all the bright window borders and taskbar...)
Any ideas (if you are still on steam ;-) )?

Just as a reference - Doom 3 installed on 2017-07-30, see the version info (from steamapps\common\Doom 3\version.inf) :

ExtVersion=1.3
IntVersion=30.1
Language=255
Branch=0.0
QA=3666

It is not working for me too :( 640x480 that's what i see in the video settings...

Try this and only change the resolution https://drive.google.com/file/d/18H-T6K-iFi3pg1udwGIz1MXimzdqnz0h/view it should force the resolution there.

[unLeashed.]

load up the game, open console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+tilde and type in:

seta r_customHeight "1080"
seta r_customWidth "1920"
seta r_fullscreen "1"
seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_aspectratio "1"

then restart the game. Next time it loads up it will display your res as 640x480 in the options but it will be running in 1920x1080. it can't display 1920x1080 in the options as it's a custom res but it works fine.

thank you!

To add to what was said here, the video settings menu most likely will not display the custom resolution and default back to 640x480, I never believe it.

If you have trouble with the config file, follow unLeashed commands, but instead of restarting the game add 'vid_restart' to the end off the commands.

seta r_customHeight "1080"
seta r_customWidth "1920"
seta r_fullscreen "1"
seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_aspectratio "1"
vid_restart

To get around not being able to ALT+TAB out of the game (since in fullscreen it will stay in the foreground) I use ALT+ENTER to go between fullscreen and windowed mode, then ALT+TAB.

There is also a more "modern" fork of Doom 3 available here, it is called Dhewm3
https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3

This does not change anything about the game other than low level OS support. Massive mods that change game code will most likely not work with it, but if you just want modern system support I suggest it.
