Is it possible to run Doom III BFG edition without Steam (i bought it as a CD)

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

I guess it can but you have to port the source code to this port (you can still make a game dll and use it with that port)

But will the mod be compatible since Doom 3 bfg uses idtech 5 and the mod uses id tech 4

 

BFG uses id tech 4 , 5 and 1.

It use 4 for the main logic of Doom 3, 5 for input and menus and 1 for classic Doom

Classic-RBDoom-3-BFG, if you want a more "Classic" feeling on all 3 games (plus various update and bugfixes the original don't even have and also game dll support)
