Doom 3: Settings won't load?

Priapus · 24 Jul 2007 at 08:05

Howzit.

I'm trying to get Doom 3 to run on max settings, however it refusses to do so.

System specs are:

AMD A64 3400+ 2.4Ghz
2Gb DDR Memory.
ATi X1950Pro GFX
Windows XP/Vista Ultimate.

Now, the game runs fine, however when I set all graphics settings to their max values, I get a message saying they will take effect next time I load Doom 3. So, I close the game, restart it; settings back to low 640 x 480 and everything turned down...

This happens in XP and Vista.

What am I doing wrong here?

i might be wrong here but if i remember rightly its to do with the AA settings, if you stick it on 8X it'll just go back to the defaults (dunno why), think you have to force it using the options in the advanced section of the driver options instead.

are you using a widescreen monitor? my settings always reset itself until i forced the resolution and other settings in the doomconfig.cfg file

My settings on Doom 3 always reset them selves... whether its on my A64 or C2D system. Its a bit dodgy, like someone said it appears to be the AA that makes it reset. Max I seem to able to go to is X4.

Not too sure if it's the latest patch. Doubt it. It seems the AA is at fault here, I can only set it to x4. Is there anyway I can make it go all the way to x16 without it resetting on me?

Many thanks guys!
