Dhewm 3 Guide

Guide Author: MewLew

Requirements:

  • Xbox Series S/X.
  • External Drive - Required to store your game file and other data.
  • Dependency - Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.appx
  • Game (base) file - You must own a copy of Doom 3 to obtain the required data files.

Obtaining the base Folder

  1. Open your Doom 3 game directory.
  2. Locate the base folder.
  3. Ensure the folder contains pak.pk4 files numbered 0 through 8.

Important: The BFG Edition data will not work; it must be the original version.

Preparing an External Drive

  1. Create a folder named d3 (use lowercase for compatibility).
  2. Place the base folder into the d3 folder.

Resurrection of Evil (ROE) Build Specifics

For the Resurrection of Evil expansion build, in addition to the base game files from the original Doom 3, you’ll also need the expansion’s specific game data files (e.g., pak000.pk4 from ROE). These files are typically located in a folder named d3xp. You must place this d3xp folder alongside the base folder within your main d3 directory on the external drive.
