HELP!!!

I got terrible vision in Doom3 why?? I can't even read the fonts in the menu.

I have Doom 3 original and I've put the patch. I own a 16:10 DPC Nosferatu (Sager 8790,Clevo d870,etc)

Please don't cross post. Although I'll leave it for now. :)

Any more info? Drivers etc? And what exactly do you mean by 'terrible vision'? Is it anything like in this thread? (scroll down for the post I mean: it has pictures in it)

Sorry for crossposting.
I can post a jpg file?

It's similar to the first compac JPG. There's a way to see Doom3 perfect in widescreen as Low Roller??

can you tell me what to configura please?

So the screen isn't screwed up, it's just small? If so, it should be easy to fix: Right click the Desktop -> Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> Displays -> Panel. There should be a few options there. Or you can edit a .cfg file to get it to fill the screen. Instructions are in the Doom 3 thread in Solutions.

If it's a completely messed up screen, I'm not sure how much the WSGF can help. I'm not familiar with the Sager laptop... although it looks nice. :) Might be an idea to get in contact with Sager support if it looks like this shot:

Ok now I see the menu correct but I can't play in widescreen mode even with this settings:

seta r_customHeight "720"
seta r_customWidth "1280"
seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_aspectratio "2" (I have a 16:10)

why?

First off, make sure the game isn't overwriting the settings you enter into the DoomConfig.cfgn file. Some have repoerted the settings they enter get overwritten. For others, including myself, the settings entered into the .cfg file remain there. Check your .cfg file and make sure the settings are still as you entered them.

You will not see the custom resolution you entered listed in the menue list of resolutions for the game. Still, the resolution the game is running at will match the one entered in the .cfg file.
