So what is wrong here? Why will Doom 3 not run properly on my Windows 7 system? Unfortunately Doom 3 still failed to run properly with no sound, stuck cursor and limited keyboard functionality! Third attempt (again after uninstalling Doom 3 using Revo Uninstaller), applied patch 1.1, then applied patch 1.3, and finally applied patch 1.3.1. But again Doom 3 didn't run properly with no sound, stuck cursor, and limited keyboard input! Second attempt (after uninstalling Doom 3 using a third party uninstaller (Revo Uninstaller)), first applied patch 1.3, then applied patch 1.3.1. On running Doom 3 after applying patch 1.3.1, again there was no sound, mouse cursor stuck at top left of main menu, and some keyboard inputs still not being recognized. On each attempt, there was a delay of around 30 seconds before the id splash animation loaded, then followed the loading of Doom 3 main menu.įirst attempt was to apply patch 1.3.1 to my original Doom 3 installation. There were three attempts to get Doom 3 to run correctly on my Windows 7 system. So, has anyone got Doom 3 to run fine under Windows 7 (and/or under Windows 10)? If so, how exactly did you manage to get Doom 3 to run? What patches (if any) were used? Anything else?ĭownloaded all patches, including patch 1.1 from the linked website. But they didn't elaborate how exactly they got Doom 3 to run (with or without patches)!? I have tried several combinations of patches (after uninstalling Doom 3 and then re-installing it), but Doom 3 will still not work properly!Īgain, according to online sources, some people claim to have gotten Doom 3 running successfully under both Windows 7 and Windows 10. But others say that only patch 1.3.1 is required! Some say patch version 1.3 should be applied first, followed by patch 1.3.1. However there appears to be conflicting information regarding the installation of subsequent patches to get Doom 3 to run under Windows 7 (and Windows 10). There are two patches for Doom 3 that I'm aware of, Patch 1.3 and patch 1.3.1.Īccording to various online sources, there appear to be two variants of these patches? One variant is for Steam/BFG version of Doom 3, and the other variant is for the retail version of Doom 3.Īgain, according to online sources, in order to get Doom 3 to work under Windows 7 (64 bit) and Windows 10 as well(?), apparently requires the use of the patch named DOOM_3_1.3.1_Patch_Fixed_v4.2. The installation of that seems to go without any issue. Have to Ctrl-Alt-Del to run Task Manager and end Doom 3 program, or have to reset the computer by pressing the reset button. ![]() Mouse cursor stuck at top left of main screen and can't be moved! I can't seem to get Doom 3 running under Windows 7 64 bit (anymore)!?ĭoom 3 will usually start after a delay of around 20~30 seconds(!?), splash screen loads, then followed by the main menu. Thanks for any and all constructive comments! The question is, is it still possible to edit (weapon) parameters and have Doom 3 run without issue under Windows 7 64 bit? Also I could no longer fire weapons and couldn't even start a new game!? But I tried again to modify weapon parameters under Windows 7 64 bit and after applying the 1.3.1 patch, but these modifications seemed to cause issues with Doom 3 with commands/cheats unable to be entered via console (brought up by pressing keys Ctrl Alt ~). I successfully managed to modify weapon parameters previously when running Doom 3 under Windows XP. ![]() The question is, is it possible to run Doom 3 (retail version) under Windows 7 64 bit SP1 WITHOUT applying any patches? If so, how please? Problem is that these posts do not detail how exactly they got Doom 3 to run under Windows 7, and whether they were using 32 bit or 64 bit versions of Windows 7!? However, there are many posts on the internet which suggest that Doom 3 does run fine under Windows 7 (32 bit and/or 64 bit?) without applying any patches. Otherwise Doom 3 does NOT run on my system without the patch applied!? Previously ran Doom 3 under Windows XP (SP2 or SP3) without any (major) issue.ĭoom 3 is presently completely uninstalled.ġ) Actually, I've managed to get Doom 3 running under W7 64 bit by applying the "1.3.1" version patch which supposedly allows later operating systems (after XP) to run Doom 3. This is the 2004 retail/boxed version of Doom 3. I'm trying to get Doom 3 to run properly under Windows 7 64 bit.
