Doom 3 BFG Edition wont launch

Recommended Posts

So I got a new gaming PC last month and I tried to play my steam copy of BFG Edition. Each time I launch it I get this error message

Anyone know how I can fix this to launch it? Im not 100 percent computer literate so please forgive me if I dont see the answer among this error message.

This is a very cookie cutter answer but have you verified your cache with steam?

What is your graphics card and are its drivers up to date?

@Chezza several times

 

@Edward850 Radeon RX 580. Fully up to date.

 

Odd thing was one day I was able to get it to load but it was a day none of my games vsync worked properly but BFG Edition booted just fine. Then I rebooted to try and get the screen tear caused by the no vsync to stop and it never booted up again
