Can't play Doom 1/2 on BFG Edition :(

[Mark A]

I have been playing through Doom 3 again after buying the BFG edition a while back. I tried to play Doom 1 for the first time yesterday and I just get the sound, but the screen just locks and there is no picture.

Anyone else had this problem? Anything I could try to fix it?

I have updated to the latest Nvidia driver incase they were too old to even play Doom 1 .

Had a look on google but can't find the same problem, seems to be mainly related to Doom 1 and 2 standalone games, rather than through the BFG game.

TIA

I wouldn't bother, the source port they use is crap.

Try something like Doomsday/GZDoom/ZDoomGL and point it at the WAD files.

Brutal Doom is what you need, it's a mod for zDoom I believe. Makes Doom an awesome gore fest.

Love this mod, though for some reason I couldn't get it to work with the 'Master Levels' for Doom 2. Everything else was fine though.

Well, it just started working randomly last night . Very strange.

Thanks for the help anyway and I'll look into these mods. Finding it pretty fun and it brings back great memories .

You sir, are a champ! I've been having a literal blast with Brutal Doom last night and today!

Thanks for the recommendation!

I like to use Doomsday + high res texture pack and High Res sounds pack you can also use a 3d model pack as well but its just doesn't look like doom
