Doom 3 BFG edition on GTX 670 3D vision 2 - 3d not enabling - is it the driver, can someone check fo...
1 / 5
Must start by saying please do not laugh at me. I know Doom3 BFG is very old etc but I do like this game and finally got around to have a 3D monitor and the 3d Nvidia kit. I am using the latest driver, 382.33 in Windows 7 Pro and a GTX670 , VG278H (patched to VG236 with EDID override)and i5 CPU. No matter what I try I cannot get the dongle to activate for Doom 3. I have a steam and non-steam version - same. I have even forced the dongle to stay on (ALT-TAB from 3d test) and went into Doom, of crs used quad buffer, 1920x1080 native, 120Hz or not, refresh 120 or 60, vsync on or off... Searched every possible thread on this everywhere... Nothing works...
Could I get someone please to check that the driver is the culprit in this? It activates for L4D2 for example (don't have many 3d-supported games sorry) and of course test works so all is ok...
If using an older driver may be it, what version would you recommend? I seem to have a problem activating 3D vision with older drivers so I might be stuck :-( Well, I spent $8AUD on the Steam Doom 3d BFG just to check it was not the game itself and no go (at least didn't pay $40 or something I guess). I liked this game and I don;t play a lot of games, hence my persistence :-/
If you know of any trick to make it work please do tell me. Perhaps contact Nvidia support and ask if they dropped Doom3 support - although it shows as 'Excellent' in the Control Panel? Do Nvidia support ever reply in fact? Many Thanks!

Last time I tried this game a few years ago I had trouble playing it in 3D as well but somehow I managed to get it running. I don't have it installed anymore unfortunately.
From what I remember I had to change some parameters in the console but only after I got 3D working I think. Don't remember much else though quad buffering needed to be enabled for sure.

Well in the meantime I went and downloaded the 3D Vision Fix by Helifax.. It made the Nvidia Kit activate the glasses and dongle!
But still no true 3D... I mean I go to the 3d menu and I only see one channel in the settings...
I'm getting closer... or am I ??
Those settings in console may have been for depth and convergence. I will try them too (I think I have them in the cfg already as 'seta'-s).
Could it be that it IS now in 3D, but a *sucky* 3D that needs tweaking... Should I not see two eyes in the swap eyes menu thought?
Helifax's mod was supposed to do just that (adjust pramas for a good 3d) so somehow I doubt it.
I have massaged Helifax anyway, I am sure he has some more in-depth knowledge about this...
Thanks for the replies!
Ahh Dont be.. The 3D fix from Helifax was for Doom 3 when was it released like 2004 or something??
Doom BFG was an Official ID release to make Doom 3 Work with 3D vision.. they called it Doom 3 BFG.. Basically same game just a little different..
The Helifax works with the Original Doom 3 released back in 2004??
The BFG Is supposed to work out the way it is with 3D vision with no mods from helifax..
I remember with the 3D vision you had too enable some features in the main menu..
But Like I said I never got it too work but others had.. So don't give up and if you really need help I can try and reinstall it on Steam and see what the settings are that need to be set..

I ment the Helifax fix was for the Original Doom 3 released in 2004 but we did not get that fix until Helifax made it a few years ago with his OpenGL to 3D vision wrapper..

Haha - I just tried this in Doom 3 original and it works! I mean its not perfect but I have 3D.. How ironic that the BFG edition does not work... I'll need to ask Helifax nicely to explain to me how to make the BFG work, if he remembers, that is... I think when applied to BFG his fix tricks Nvidia into believing the BFG is a DirectX game or something... I don;t really care as long as it starts working :-)
Thanks for the info guys.. If you happen to remember what other commands to give, let me know... I have the depth convergence ones, might try later again but as said I do not get true 3d to start with in the BFG. Thank God I only spent $9 or so on it...
Maybe its time to move on... to the new Doom, dunno... I assume the new one does not have 3D at all and Helifax mod does ot it what it did to the Doom 3 non 3D..

What is wrong with Doom 3 Original the 3D I mean is something broke??
Well no but there's some eye candy missing I think compared to the BFG edition. Of course there's no flashlight on top of the gun which is actually good (scarier) :-) Remember until 1 hour s ago I had no idea I could play original Doom 3 in 3D - haha. Still hoping to get the BFG to work as well - im kinda stubborn by nature. But lately I have very little time...hence playing few and old games... did I mention Duke 3D (the original) ? :-) Ahh btw there is a 3D fix for that too I believe.
QUESTION (maybe silly?): Why would the Helifax fix not work on Doom 3 BFG with 3D setting off? Then the BFG would be like the original Doom3 (would it not?). Obviously I am quite ignorant...

Well there used to be a Flashlight mod out there to fix that..

Helifax did not work on the BFG Version because it is supposed to work as is with notheing needed to make the 3D work..
They should be identical except the one worked in 3D.. but now they both should..
Yeah so if they are identical then BFG with 3d off should work with the Helifax wrapper (it does not, 3D comes on but no real 3D is present) ...again, I am probably missing something.

Have you tried changing the separation and convergence on the fly from the console when 3D is on ? I remember that even though 3D was on the screen was in 2D until I manually changed those values in the console lol but that was without Helifax's fix.

I will try... but I enabled the hotkeys in Nvidia control panel and used them in game with no effect - they seem to work as in acting on settings - eg depth (same as wheel on dongle)- but with no effect except the CRTL-T on/off... but yeah I will try that too. In Doom 3 vanilla of course the depth wheel has effect etc. There is something that prevents this bastard going in real 3D, be it via quad buffer or via Helifax wrapper...its not resolution, not refresh, not framerate,... blah
