Doom 3 launch error : wrong game DLL API version
 

Hey I just installed Doom 3 on xp with a no-CD crack and the following error message appeared:

Any suggestions on how I can fix it?

try the game with your original cd and no crack and let us know if it works

Also check you've not installed a crack for a patch and forgot to install that patch!!

no crack is needed if the game is patched.. it doesn't ask for the CD anymore.

Yup... (Uninstall and) reinstall the game from your original DVD, apply the 1.3.1 or later official patch and you won't even need the DVD to play it.

Cheers fullaz, It works fine now.
