I did not see this listed in the forums here. If you have a Vive or Rift and Doom 3 BFG then this is all free.
Here is link to configure Doom 3 BFG to use VR.
Works great with the Vive. Played about 2 hours tonight maybe longer. If you are sensitive to motion sickness this may not work for you - otherwise it is rather fun. I am surprised how well it comes across with the controls and the game itself. Seeing the big machines inside of game animating or moving looks really cool. While some of the stuff looks flat since it was design for a 2d monitor, still looks really good especially when dark overall. Exploring is way more fun now as well.
I initially just ran the VR mod and had no issues. Then I installed the Texture HD pak, which then the game would not work. Inside of the HD texture pak is a file called _remove generated files which is a batch file. I ran that and now Doom 3 BFG runs in VR with the better textures.
On a 1070 using SteamVR in game frame timing I am getting around 6ms and it is very smooth.

- Using SMAA1x - MSAA does not work right in this game or does little
- Do not use Soft shadows - it kills performance into reprojection - they don't look good anyways in VR while the hard shadows look great
- Make sure vertical sync is not on in game or drivers
- Start game in directory with SteamVR on - starting in Steam can have performance issues
