This is a modification for the Doom 3 BFG Edition with better visuals, sounds, monster AI and weaponhandling. It requires the Doom3 BFG Edition and doesn't work with the old Doom3 release of 2004!
How to install:
!!! If any old "@UltimateHD" directory is existing, remove it first !!!
Unzip the whole 7z-Package to your "DOOM3 BFG Edition" main directory (usually at ..\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOM 3 BFG Edition)
If everything's gone right there should be a "@UltimateHD" directory in your main directory ( => ..\Steam\steamapps\common\DOOM 3 BFG Edition\@UltimateHD)
How to start the Mod:
run "Doom3 BFG UltimateHD.exe" (This calls RBDoom3BFG.exe with the right parameter)
If you don't want to use the included EXE you can also create a shortcut of "RBDoom3BFG.exe" with the following parameter +set fs_resourceLoadPriority 0 +set fs_game @UltimateHD
Should look like this => "..\RBDoom3BFG.exe +set fs_resourceLoadPriority 0 +set fs_game @UltimateHD"
Remember to remove any old UltimateHD installation before installing this version!
how do i fix default materials not found
Not working anymore, as Nvidia update poss cause.
Failed to initialize open GL. Full screen is the issue.
Can use CMD line set r_fullscreen 0, works for vanilla.
Not sure how to do it with your mod. Tried making a shortcut with CMD line but failed.
You could make a shortcut or a *.bat batch file as mentioned in the readme to start the mod and add any parameter you want:
RBDoom3BFG.exe +set fs_resourceLoadPriority 0 +set fs_game @UltimateHD +set r_fullscreen 0
But I recommend giving the latest version of the Classic Doom / Doom BFA Edition executable from MadDeCoDeR/MoDFaNGuy a try to run the mod. It's way more up to date than RBDoom3BFG. Moddb.com
Of course you would have to make a new shortcut/Batchfile to start the mod with it. This is mine right now: DoomBFA.exe +set fs_resourceLoadPriority 0 +set fs_game @UltimateHD +set com_skipIntroVideos 1 +set com_allowconsole 1
Funny thing happen, it would start on my 4k monitor, so just unplugged my display port this then flicked over to my 65" plasma, all working.
Then exited then restarted the game on the 65" plasma, no issues. Not sure what this did...but all good now.
The short cut I tried is the same as yours before I posted but still came up the open GL window not initializing. Maybe something else was going on?
I actually add parts from another mod to yours (some textures), also changed gun sounds (sndshd files) to pistol, shotgun and machine gun.
But will have a look at the mod you suggested, have plenty of time on Corona lock down.
I'm working on a bigger RBDOOM-3-BFG 1.3.0 update this year.
It's going to have PBR based rendering, revised HDR support and Vulkan support later. This is a preview that supports the UltimateHD with some patched HDR/PBR settings:

It also comes with a detailed list about the changes. You can get more information if you join the id Tech 4 Discord server.

WOW!!! Ich muss echt sagen Respect an den Modder^^
Der Mod wird mit jedem mal besser und ich bin zuversichtlich das wir auch

Immer weiter so bitte!
Mod does't work, says that xinput 1.4 dll is missing. Wasting time
This mod version 2.1 seems to have been compiled to require Windows 8.
I get xinput1_4.dll is missing error on startup. If I try to copy the dll over I then get xaudio2_8.dll error.
Version 2.0.3 works fine on Windows 7.
Can anyone confirm this? Any suggestions?
If I replace the RBDoom3BFG.exe from the 2.1 version with the 2.0.3 version it will start up.
Is there any problem with this solution? Is 2.1 really working?
Thank you. This worked for me and no problems after a few hours of playing.
I'm on Win 7 too.
default material not found
Thank you for this, I like all things Doom, but I really like the way you fixed up the weapons balance. A gripe I had with the original was the overabundance of ammo and the massive amounts you could carry.
Your mod has brought this old gem back to life for me.
Awesome Mod, I have it working on Windows 7 SP1 Core 2 Duo 4gb ram Radeon HD 6670, Looks Great! it does have some random slowdowns when I am in very open spaces with some monsters close and attacking me, so i ll have to look into that

How do i fix the language? is in something like japanese/chinese idk
Im also having this issue. Did you ever fix it?
Bro, create shortcut of the "DooM3BFG" and set properties:
+set fs_resourceLoadPriority 0 +set fs_game @UltimateHD +set com_skipIntroVideos 1 +set com_allowconsole 1
Just like Author suggest on previous comments.)
Wrong, *******. Add set sys_lang "english" to autoexec

How to launch with Steam?
I've been going nuts trying to figure out a way to disable the crosshair entirely without disabling the other hud elements, which in my opinion would make the game more challenging, but dammed if I know how to mod this thing. It was so unbelievably easy to do in Doom 3 2004, just change some lines in a file named "cursor" and that was it; but here, it just ain't that simple 😤
