This is an amazing amount of work that Cranky has done. Not only did he report out on this game, but he developed the report and the format.

I have asked him to post a template in this section, so that everyone can begin posting in this new format. This will go a long way to providing better answers to just "yes/no" and will allow us to "grade" and certify games for widescreen support.

If you've previously posted a solution, please consider going back and writign a detailed report.

Why not just force 16x in your video card drivers?

Howdy all, looking for some help.

Using the directions provided I am unable to get Doom 3 to go wide. I am pretty sure I'm doing everything correctly with the config file, but all I get on my Dell 2007 is a box about 4 by 5 inches.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Did you by any chance get the height and width mixed up? That seems to be a common mistake on games where the height appears above the width in the config file.

Excellent question, but no. I tried to invert the settings to see if it mattered. And it's not just an issue of resolution, it's also an issue of scale. The frame of the display is very small, again, 4 or 5 inches. I'm attempting to use my desktop setting of 1680 by 1050.

I appreciate the help, please continue to offer it. I'm really dying to get this going. Thanks.

Got it.

I was not adding the "-" to the seta r_mode "-1".

It's great now though... like a different game. Thank you for your help.

not working for me either. After making changes to the DoomConfig.cfg, I'll load up the game only to see it at default 640x480. I'll go back to the cfg, height and width values are still set to what i put them, but seta r_mode is now at 7, and the seta r_aspectRatio is missing altogether.
