Gigi Posted March 16, 2019 Hi guys, so I (a dumbass) bought the wrong edition of Doom 3. Instead of buying the normal edition, I bought the BFG edition, which you have to install and run with steam. Here's my problem: I'm using Win XP; Steam doesn't work on Win XP. Are there any chances for me to install and run it without steam (I got the game on a CD, not virtual)? Sorry for my weird english, but I'm from germany, so excuse me, please. 0 Share this post Link to post
TheNoob_Gamer Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) After a quick research, you can run Doom 3 BFG without Steam :P The game is technically DRM-free. More info here. Which means that, you just need the game files and the source port. 0 Share this post Link to post
kaleb. Posted March 16, 2019 the game is actually DRM free so yeah you can probably just extract shit from the disc and run it. the only problem i can see is i dont think BFG edition supports 32 bit. but i could be wrong. 0 Share this post Link to post
GuyMcBrofist Posted March 16, 2019 You can give RBDoom-3-BFG a try, AFAIK it's the only source port for the BFG edition. It looks like the binaries are 32bit, but I have no idea if it's compatible with XP. 0 Share this post Link to post
MadGuy Posted March 16, 2019 You can also check Classic-RBDoom-3-BFG (Different from the above) which adds and improves mod support for all 3 games and restore various cut content) 0 Share this post Link to post

DoomedSpartan Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) But will the mod be compatible since Doom 3 bfg uses idtech 5 and the mod uses id tech 4 0 Share this post Link to post
