Doom 3

What works

-Game Starts !
-maps load
-fps >= 60 (GTX 560 Ti)
-Doesn't crash , although the first launch changed desktop resloution , and didn't allow to change the resolution ingame . Relaunching "solved the problem"
-mod support : I tested it with "perfected Doom v6.2.3" , it has gameplay changes, new models , new textures , new animations , and sikkmod , which is another mod that enhances graphics (by including SSAO , SSIL , Vignetting , Color Grading , Bokeh (and it all works !))(in case you try it out , there's a minor glitch present when running from Windows as well,it's texture related ,set texture quality from the second tab to "very High" beyond that - crystal clear)

What does not

Multiplayer and activation (when starting for the first time make sure internet is disabled. Otherwise it will void your cd key)

Additional Comments

I also installed the Linux native executable , and guess which one ran and looked better .... plus the linux native doesn't seem to recognise mods as it should . If you experience Sound delay the most reliable workaround is to remove Pulseaudio , neither of those that tweak wine or the .exe don't work .The latter is not a wine or doom3.exe bug ( The thread "how to remove Pulseaudio" is so popular for a reason ) so the rating is Platinum .

A native version of this application exists for GNU/Linux.

if installing from the 3 cd set there is a chance that it wont install all the files or even ask from disk's 2 and 3

use the following command or similar to copy the missing files (from cd2 and 3) to the doom 3 directory

cp -av /media/cdrom/Setup/Data/base/pak00* ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Doom 3/base

use the patch from ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/doom3/win32/DOOM3-1.3.1.exe

to update to 1.3.1 - the game will work without the cd's
