Take a look here:

I hope someone has a solution bcs this looks dumb.

[The Happy Friar]

stock D3 doesn't do that.  What mod/changes do you have?

[abi008]

I had lost of mods, but then I tried to reinstall doom 3 without mods and same thing happens? Could it be related to 64-bit system or AMD graphic card?

[aphexjh]

It is not an issue with 64 bit, I don't think. More likely, is that you are still running some kind of mod, since its evident in your video that the gibs and burn away fx have been changed. Make sure the Doom 3 folder is clean (has nothing but stock install files) and ensure that your shortcut is going to the right folder/executable. Also, the video looks like you are running a graphics mod, so you may want to make sure you have no mods installed.

What I thought before you made this post, just seeing the video, is that you are having a conflict between 2 different mods, which have both possibly made changes to the burn away effects and gibs. Conflicts can be very difficult to isolate, since their can be changes in a number of files and across any of the mods you are using, which is why running mods together has unintended consequences, such as this.

Also, as usual, make sure you are fully patched.

Can you make a screenshot for us of your Doom3\base folder and post it here?
Like this:

[abi008]

Sure, but it wont matter since i reinstalled it without any mods, btw thanks for your help

[BloodRayne]

Does it happen with all weapons?

[abi008]

yes.

[The Happy Friar]

I compared those file sizes to the ones in my D3 folder and they're the same except for game00.pk4, but the later ones override that anyway (slightly different).

Are you running doom3.exe w/o any shortcut?

[abi008]

I'm running it with desktop shortcut, but there isn't any added parameter to it. It's really wierd.

[The Happy Friar]

Try running from the doom3.exe.  If you've got Vista/7/8 it might ask to run it & it but it should be ok.

EDIT: show your doom3 folder, not just your base please.

[abi008]

Tried disabling antivirus, installing on C disk, installing in safe mod (couldn't) and no luck...
Well, it's ok, don't bother  . Thanks for help!

[BloodRayne]

We can find out if something's wrong by examining the output of a console dump.
Run Doom3, run the testmap, kill a creature, then in the console type 'condump test.txt', paste the contents of the file here.

You can try a few other things as well:

- Rename the config.cfg file to 'config.bak' and try if the glitch still exists.
- Reset all graphics settings in your video card  by defaulting them in your graphics properties.
- If you have an ATI card, disable Catalyst AI (google on how to disable it).
- Create a shortcut to Doom3.exe and disabled desktop themes for it (long shot), run it in administrator mode, or try compatibility mode.
