Ever wondered if Doom 3 will run on Windows 98 with a 12MB 3dfx Voodoo 2 graphics card? No? Well too bad, we're doing this anyway.

● Instructions:
1: Download the Doom 3 Potato Patch archive
archive.org/details/Doom3Pota...
2: Install Doom 3 (2004 retail release) normally, ignore OS warnings
3: Install DirectX 9.0b (I recommend 9.0c though, included in archive)
4: Apply Doom 3 v1.1 patch, then 1.3, and finally 1.31 from the D3_patch folder in the archive
5: Navigate to the installed game's "Doom 3\base" folder and open PAK000.pk4, PAK002.pk4, and PAK004.pk4 with WinRar 3.5+/7-Zip
6: Extract the folders GUIs, Materials, Models, Particles, and Textures to the "Doom 3\base" folder
7: Navigate to the Doom3_Voodoo2_Patch folder and open the executable there
8: Choose any texture size options you'd like, click both checkboxes if appropriate to your system (checked by default)
9: Click "Run" and select the Doom 3 installed game directory, let it do its thing for a while. Can take 10 or more minutes on some CPUs.
10: Copy opengl32.dll from the folder of the same name in the patch archive, paste it into the Doom 3 game folder alongside the main executable for the game
11: Open Doom 3, pressing escape to skip intro videos if needed. Open the options menu, change a setting or two, then apply/save/exit the game
12: Navigate back to "Doom 3\base" folder and open DoomConfig.cfg with a text editor like Notepad
13: Add the line seta r_singlelight “0” to the file, right below the final seta r_ line you see
14: Save the config file, then right-click the file, properties and choose "read only"
15: Open Doom 3 and see if you can start a new game. If not and you see a blank window, continue to the next step
16: Go back to the patch archive and copy the "savegames" folder itself over into the "Doom 3\base" folder
17: Open Doom 3 again and choose "load game," then pick the autosave. It should load then!
