:bang head Please HELP ME!!!!!!
 
Try reinstalling the game, seems like certain files are corrupt or missing. I never remember having that problem with Doom 3 before so its probably that.
 
Make sure you go into add/remove programs and make sure any doom 3 files that may have installed are completly gone--then search all over your computer manually in program files e.t.c. for any doom file that might be lagging around.


And is it a legit or burned copy? ;)




Good luck!
