Hi all,

I just got the doom3 pack from the xmas steam offers..

so it downloads damn quick, 10 mins later i go to play it, loads up great but when i get to the menu i have a box requesting a game cd key, and there is already a code in the box.. but it says its invalid! :confused:

whats going on?? theres a small key code box to the right of the input key but has nothing in, then it keeps asking me for the key from the cd case.
god damnit, i just wanted to play the bleedin game lols

any ideas?

is there a way to get the actual cd key from the steam games?

ahh, sorterd it ;) i needed to run ressurection of evil first to activate that cdkey, as the original doom3 needed both to work

thanks for offering to get on the case tho mate ;) :toast:

all is good here, now to get widescreen working, i think i remember how, been long time since i played the game
 
widescreen, you had to edit the config file. Googling will find it, i think the widescreen gaming forums have a guide on it.
