−
 
 
−
# Obtain the older 13.1 Catalyst drivers for your system. Go to the AMD Graphics Driver site for your videocard and operating system, then click the "Previous Drivers and Software" link on the bottom RIGHT side of the main driver page... then look for the 13.1 drivers. Download this driver set.
 
−
# Run the 13.1 installer and CANCEL on the first window after it uncompresses the drivers.
 
−
# Go to the C:\AMD\Support\13-1_vista_win7_xxxx_xxxx_dd_ccc_whql appropriate to your system
 
−
# Inside that directory, traverse into Packages\Drivers\Display\W86A_INF\B151068 and look for the file: atioglxx.dl_
 
−
# Create a writable directory somewhere (for example, C:\Expand) and copy this file to that new directory.
 
−
# Open a command window (On the start menu, type "cmd.exe" in the search box, you should see "cmd.exe" appear at the top search results. Click on this to run it)
 
−
# You should now be in a DOS prompt/DOS box command shell. CD to the directory where you copied the atioglxx.dl_ file (type CD \EXPAND and hit enter, for example)
 
−
# Type at the command prompt: EXPAND ATIOGLXX.DL_ ATIOGLXX.DLL
 
−
# It should say the file has inflated or expanded like 127% or similar factor.
 
−
# You may close the command prompt now and navigate to the directory (C:\EXPAND) and see both files now: ATIOGLXX.DL_ and the new ATIOGLXX.DLL
 
−
# Copy the newly expanded file (ATIOGLXX.DLL) directly into the Doom3 CFG Edition directory in the same place as the Doom3BFG.exe file.
 
−
# Launch and run the game normally (no need for Administrator or compat mode).
