Doom 3 BFG Edition Error During Initialization

Postby Ali Akbar » Thu Oct 15, 2020 5:10 am

My specs:
HP Pavilion dv7-6b55dx Entertainment PC
CPU: Intel Core i5-2430M 2.40 GHz
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 3000 (OEM driver version 8.15.10.2291)
RAM: DDR3-1333 8 GB

This didn't happen on my old laptop (Intel Core i3-380m, Intel HD Graphics Arrandale, 2 GB (1.86 GB Usable) Ram)
:thanks: in advance

You could try installing the latest driver for that GPU chipset, because the one you have installed is not it.

I.E.; The EOL (End of Life) driver
Code: Select all
Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows* [15.28]
*EOL* This package installs the Intel® HD Graphics Driver version 15.28.24.4229 (9.17.10.4229) for Windows 7*, Windows 8*, and Windows 8.1*

Thank you so much :thanks: :hug:, I installed the drivers and the game worked like a charm. :D :)

Off topic, but are these generic drivers, because I stopped using generic drivers after I found out that they were causing problems with some specific games (especially ParaWorld), so if these are indeed generic drivers, can you tell me where can I find the latest OEM drivers (my laptop is HP Pavilion dv7-6b55dx Entertainment PC), I found them (OEM driver 8.15.10.2291) here https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/se ... ku=A1T53UA and the 8.15.10.2291 graphics driver worked flawlessly, while 8.15.10.2476 caused graphical errors in ParaWorld, so I tried a software called Driver Identifier, and it said that the latest HP OEM driver for my laptop was 9.17.10.2857, so I installed it and it also caused graphical errors in ParaWorld (health bars for buildings and units were black, and ParaWorld wouldn't work in full screen, it would just give a black screen, had to run it in windowed mode), while the 8.15.10.2291 graphics driver worked flawlessly with ParaWorld.

That's the problem you're going to have with Intel onboard GPUs...I always use "generic" drivers, but then again I don't use onboard graphics to play games.

You're just going to have to keep multiple driver installers on hand.. 2291 is a little less 4 years older than the "generic" I pointed you towards and is subsequently missing any fixes and/or support for newer software made in those intervening years.

Now I understand why everyone dislikes (sometimes even hate) onboard GPUs (because now, I dislike, although not hate, onboard GPUs too :lol:)

I unfortunately do not have a discrete GPU, in fact, I am just lucky to even have this laptop, it is a lot faster than my old one, which was Intel Core i3-380m, Intel HD Graphics Arrandale, 2 GB RAM (1.86 GB Usable).
Meddle wrote:You're just going to have to keep multiple driver installers on hand
That is what I have done now, I have kept the installers for the following driver versions :up: :
OEM Driver 8.15.10.2291 (For ParaWorld and most of my games)
OEM Driver 9.17.10.2857 (For Doom 3 BFG Edition and any other game that might not work with the driver above)
Generic Driver 9.17.10.4229 (Also for Doom 3 BFG Edition and just in case both of the above drivers don't work for any reason, and also, this one supports the resolution 1280x720, while the ones above don't)

I am about to buy a new laptop soon:
Gateway GWTN141-10BK
CPU: Intel Core i5-1135G7 2.4GHz
iGPU: Intel Iris Xe Graphics (DX12.1, OpenGL 4.6, OpenCL 2.0)
RAM: DDR4-3200 16 GB
OS: Windows 10 Home :(

Only downside is that this is windows 10, the os that I really hate, I'll miss windows 7 alot, in my opinion it was the best OS ever. The first thing that I will do after I buy this is get Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Subnautica + Below Zero and ARK: Survival Evolved :D I have really high hopes for this laptop (particularily this iGPU)

Got an even better laptop:

Dell Inspiron 15 5510
CPU: Intel Core i5-11320H 3.2 GHz
GPU: Intel Iris Xe (96 EU's, DX 12.1, OpenGL 4.6, Open CL 3.0)
RAM: DDR4-3200 16 GB
OS: Windows 11 Home x64

Windows 11 really sucks, but thank God someone made this program "StartAllBack" it really makes windows 11 look and feel like windows 7, so I am happy. :D

Just installed Halo: The Master Chief Collection and started Halo: Reach and holy crap, around 60 fps at 720p with max graphics settings, around 50 fps at 1080p with max graphics settings, although fps would have been 60+, it wasn't because I also maxed out the graphics settings in the intel graphics command center. Now I will finally be able to play my favorite fps shooter of all time and with extremely decent fps (I deserve it after years of playing games with 12-30 fps on very low resolutions). Subnautica is next on the list.
