DOOM3 - Windows 7
Anyone got DOOM 3 to work with windows 7? , when i load it up i get annoying out of sync waves going down the screen. Also everytime i set widescreen and restart the game it goes back to 640x. I tried autoexec.cfg and setting that to widescreen but it still starts up as a really low res!
Not the only one

It needs some sort of patch I would suppose. It needed one for vista so the same one may work. It also may be that you have the 64 bit version of windows, not sure if thats a problem.

yeah Im getting these lines too, hurts my eyes :/

edit:
it would seem using the windows update drivers, doom 3 works perfectly fine, but trying to use any recent drivers will break most ID (Doom/Quake, etc) or OpenGL based games.

I played at a lan not too long ago with the win7 7000 beta... worked great. did you patch the game? 1.3v is latest i think

using the nvidia stock drivers on my 9800GTX+ I had those horrible flickering lines with DOOM3 and wolfenstein on steam , unninstalled the card completely and allowed windows update to install drivers and that fixed it and all my other games
-
Yep, dont use the vista drivers as the WU ones are specific for Win7.
