RE: Doom 3 Problem
Do you have the latest drivers for your graphics card installed?
- NVIDIA Drivers
- ATI Drivers

Also make sure you have the latest  Windows Updates installed.

If you have more Doom 3 related questions. Why don't you try ask it at a forum about that subject.

RE: Doom 3 Problem
Have you downloaded the latest patches and stuff from the doom 3 website or whatever, the ones that make the graphics on the game so much better? Try doing that, this may fix your problem in a way...

The game is supposed to be very dark in places, in some places, much darker than others...

blah looks normal , in some spots the game gets fair dark just whip out your flashlight and keep on trucking.
but if its still dark when using the flash light then you have a problem

RE: Doom 3 Problem
it looks pretty normal to me to be honest... When I was playing the game, it got that dark in areas... Might be a problem with your graphics card but I doubt it, if I were you, I'd just carry on playing... It will get lighter and darker throughout the whole of the game, so just don't worry about it...

That's one of my ingame shots... As you can see, it's really dark...

I'll upload another soon...

Just before I changed all of the settings and sorted out my graphics card ^_^
