RBDOOM-3-BFG
Doom 3 BFG Edition source port with updated DX12 / Vulkan renderer and modern game engine features
Project mention: id Software consolidates its Steam listings. "We’re rounding up id games on Steam for an improved shopping experience." | reddit.com/r/pcgaming | 2022-08-11On the other hand BFG edition supports 120Hz rendering and has some great gamepad support. However the "shoulder lamp" and some tweaked brighter lighting destroys the game's atmosphere IMO while some textures and lights appear worse. I'd still recommend it if you liked the original game, but perhaps also play it with RBDoomBFG and its GI datapak - it introduced PBR shaders and changes the lighting considerably, but the game wasn't designed for that so i'd recommend it only for a second playthrough (you can disable most of the effects but even then it still looks off). The official BFG edition is closer to the original Doom 3 but still has its own issues so unless you want 120Hz rendering and/or gamepad support, i'd still recommend the original (with Dhewm3). Also note that the original BFG edition doesn't allow you to skip cutscenes which is annoying for a second playthrough.

Project mention: Why does skyrim refuse to start without launching steam? And why does steam never work without wifi? | reddit.com/r/skyrimmods | 2022-11-22
Because SkyrimSE.exe has a Steam-related code inside. There's a solution though, you can use Steamless to disable it. This is safe even for SKSE DLL plugins and SKSE itself, more to say - many authors use this solution for develop purposes because it allows to attach VS debugger. Ryan aka Fudgyduff also mentions it in his CommonLibSSE Getting Started guide.
