Doom 3 Wont work.

Well Doom 3 does not work, apparently it has something to do with my ATI 4670. I would like to know if other people can play this game on their Studio XPS.

When I try to start the game it just says " ERROR: The current video card / driver combination does not support the necessary features"

Any help would be appreciated! thanks!

 

Update drivers and directX. I know that updating directX may sound stupid, but, on fresh installs, directX is either not updated or not included at all.

 

But I just installed my drivers, games like COD4, FarCry2 and so on work just fine.
Oh well, I might update again anyways later.. =_=!!

 

Well I updated my DirectX as well as my video card drivers. (Well not updated, rather reinstalled since they were already the newest available.)

It does still not work however.

I get this error Message:

Any help would be appreciated!

 

If anyone should ever have this problem, here is the fix:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers\ati2dvag]
"Dll"="atioglxx.dll" <- change the value to this one
"DriverVersion"=dword:00000001
"Flags"=dword:00000001
"Version"=dword:00000002

Now your game will work on your Mobility modded Driver! Unless you dont do this, it will probably not work.

 

It's great that you found the answer by yourself. Gratz!

 

just in case someone needs direction.
