---------------------

How to install:

!!! If you've downloaded the FULL Package, always delete any previous Installation of UltimateHD 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)

---------------------

Optional Configuration:

There are 3 GFX presets included... You can choose the one you prefer in the autoexec.cfg
To do that, go into \@UltimateHD and open autoexec.cfg with any texteditor (e.g. Notepad or Notepad++)

look for the lines:

exec cfg/gfx_hdr_on // HDR on preset
// exec cfg/gfx_hdr_off // HDR off preset
// exec cfg/gfx_safemode // best compatibility (use this if you're having trouble with grafic glitches)

Info: two slash "//" in front of a line skips the command; remove "//" to activate a preset...
ONLY activate ONE preset AT A TIME!
In upper case the gfx_hdr_on preset is active and loaded at startup.

If you experience grafic issues with one of those presets, try the other ones.

Advanced Configuration:

Feel free to tweak the existing presets if you want to, or create new ones... All at your own risk!
They are stored at \@UltimateHD\cfg\*

---------------------

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"

---------------------

How to uninstall:

In case you want to uninstall the mod, simply delete the folder "@UltimateHD" and the files "Doom3 BFG UltimateHD.exe" and "RBDoom3BFG.exe"

Troubleshooting for unintended language change:

In case you're using a non Steam Version it might happen that the Mod runs in Japanese instead of your prefered language. To fix that open the autoexec.cfg file inside the @UltimateHD Mod directory and add following line:

set sys_lang "english"

(valid language options are "english" / "french" / "german" / "Italian" / "spanish" / "japanese")

Have Fun
Peace!
