Widescreen Gaming Forum

Here, I zipped up two config files. One is the stock DoomConfig, since this one should stay untouched. The other is an autoexec.cfg that sets the resolution and nothing more. Unzip them to your ".Doom 3base" directory and see if it works. You can add "+exec autoexec.cfg" to the command line if it's not loading automatically. Bring down the console once you're in game and enter r_customHeight, r_customWidth, r_mode, and r_aspectRatio to make sure they have been set correctly. You can also Pg. Up in the console to see if your config file has been executed when the game has been launched. Keep in mind that the options will show your resolution as 640x480 when r_mode is set to -1.

Well it works perfectly now. I guess adding the command line did the trick. Who knew the solution was so simple?
Thanks a lot for the help! :D

You're welcome! Oddly enough I had this same problem when I was running on Windows XP and I first got my widescreen monitor. There is no need to do so now on Vista and Steam (I got the extra copy because I purchased the id Super Pack).

Has anyone a modified gamex86.dll for the Green Pepper Version of Doom 3?
The download on the first page is incompatible for it.

Or guide me how to modify it with Hex worshop, cannot find a float value of 9?

Added 21:9 Solution + Updated DR

Almost all widescreen gamers got their Doom - 16:9, 21:9, and 48:9. To play Doom 3 on PLP system, you can use this file. Place the file to Base folder and make the file read-only. Edit config file like 16:9. Now, Doom will use 3:1 aspect ratio.

Happy new year WSGF!
