I dint modify the code in any way so that cant be the problem.

If your playable or base folder write protected maybe?

I just checked and they arent write protected.

Hmm looks like it cant access the game library ? might be antivirus interfering or something else is bogging access to it. Try disabling antivirus in some cases there heuristic
scanning fucks up. If it loads after tell the company that provides your antivirus that its interfering with your game so they can fix it. Might be a good idea sending them a copy of the gamex86 dll so they know what code to rule out.

Hope it helps

Hmm, i searched a bit in the source code and found that part that sends that error message. I commented it out and recompiled and now the game loads fine lol. For anyone interested, the code is at lines 665 - 669 in doom3\neo\sys\win32\win_main.cpp

Hmm a bug ? might be usefull for others having similar problems

Ill check out the code section you mentioned.
