Doom 3 Alpha Grey - Screen . Help ?

[mordecai32]

The title says it all , basically .

I have installed a patch i found on the internet , i tried everything i could , but it STILL keeps giving me that goddamn grey - screen , while the retail version runs fine .

I use AMD BTW .

Is there a way to fix this ?

AMD for graphics? The alpha is a touchy thing because it was basically designed to work on a specific computer being used at E3 to display it. I would expect it to work with NVIDIA hardware as that was what was being used. I'm not so sure about AMD.

Well i got an AMD and i'm not getting any errors , runs alright and smooth
Try replacing your DoomConfig.cfg (inside base folder) with this one, edit it with notepad to Change screen width and height (r_customheight, r_customwidth) :

I Have also modifed controls to play just like Final version of Doom 3 (WASD for movement) .

Your drivers are either faulty or your copy of the alpha is corrupt. I played the alpha last night on my HD 7950 with 16X anisotropic filtering and 8XEQ Edge Anti Aliasing force from the Crimson Radeon Suite, works just as intended.

I don't think that there's anything wrong with that , DOOM 3 and BFG Edition run here just fine .

The alpha actually runs quite well now with even modest hardware so if not video drivers then the alpha itself?
