As above.

Just installed DooM 3 and it doesn't want to save the display settings. All my graphic drivers are updated and my computer is more than capable of running this. Updated to 1.3.1, nothing. Changed the config file, nothing. :(

This is killing me, I really want to play this game!
 
Does it happen with every resolution? or are you just trying one specific resolution?
 
Every single one. Found an apparent 'fix' for it with changing more config files but still nothing. It's uninstalled now as I spent about an hour trying to get it to work, cba with it now.

I had same problem, ended up going into the config file to set the resolution manually and then running the game in windowed mode.

if theres a config file then set res in this and make it read-only, make sure you have your controls and stuff set before doing this

you need to alter config to run it in desired res . check widescreen settings on google for it

Have done all this, can't remember the link now but it was an extremely detailed guide which showed screens before and after, only the HUD got distorted (stretched) from the pictures I saw.

Editing the config file didn't work.

Nvm anyway now, I might try it again when I install Win7.
 
You need to make an autoexec file, make a new notepad doc and call it autoexec then change the res to whatever you need, save the file into the base folder.

Code: 
seta r_mode -1
seta r_aspectRatio 2 
seta r_customHeight 1200 
seta r_customWidth 1920 
com_allowconsole 1
