Re: Doom 3
I found installing DOOM 3 on Vista hit or miss with a) getting it to run and b) having the resolution choice stick.
While running it XP the workaround of amending the bat file worked, but not in Vista. In my last install the game seemed to work fine, so as someone recommended above, un-install and clean install might be the easiest solution. |

im sure if we are still using Windows then it will be using 1/4 of it just for the OS.... and since HDs are always bigger then available ram... the standard install will require 5-6 Petabytes of available HD space...

said by ironweasel  :1.42 Petabytes (or 1456 Terabytes or 1490948 Gigabytes). You could run hundreds of instances of every application known to man simultaneously with the much RAM.  Careful in 20 years someone will find that statement and laugh at you!

I've run Doom 3 since I had Vista. No issues with UAC, and I don't give Doom 3 any extra permissions. |

It's been a while since I have played Doom3, but I remembered that Doom3 build 1.1-1.3 requires write access to it's own folder \Program Files (x86)\Doom 3\ which a normal user or an admin with UAC enabled (but not elevated) couldn't access. If you can write in the game's own folder, the game will run fine.
Solution for that is to run Windows Explorer as administrator, right click on the Doom 3 folder, select Properties, select Security tab, under Group or user names: pick Users, go to Permissions for User (or specific user) and check under Allow column Modify (Write will also be selected simultaneously), click apply, exit. That way data can be written into the game folder from any user who plays the game. |
