Heh, people are swarming over it, I get a 421 error most times I try to get in the FTP server (too many users error). Anyone who has it: You see a performance increase from Cedega?

BitTorrent people.... use the BotTorrent link.... lets seed the hell out of this thing, both Demo and client binaries. :-)

Do you think drooling on a keyboard will ruin it?

God, do you ppl think that this game will make linux sales, and ppl switching to linux go higher? I think it'll help just *THAT* much more. But hey! Eveything counts.

Unhappy linux client not working

I have downloaded the doom3 linux client, copied all of the files into place and it won't start. I get a bunch of loading messages and then a black screen that looks to be 640x480. The loading messages are pasted below. It will just hang there at the black screen until I kill it with a ctrl c.

Has anyone had any problem with the linux bins? I am running fedora core 2, with the latest x.org with nvidia driver 1.0-6111 and 2.6.8 kernel.

Currently, the game will not run correctly on ATI cards using the fglrx driver. However, the ATI developers are working on new driver releases, and eventually the game will be supported.

I confirm: don't work with my ATI radeon... But ATI seems to planning well.
edit:----------------------------------
I tried with a Nvidia Geforce4 pci and it works fine. As i run the game in 640X480, i changed the X11 resolution to improve the best i can. I noticed some bugs.
I noticed too that the non-gpu side of the game seems to be less under pressure than under XP.
edit:----------------------------------
I reinstalled latest ATI drivers: fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.1.i386.tgz. Now it works with my radeon 9200SE. Some textures seems strange. Some bugs.
edit:----------------------------------
timedemo demo1 usecache:
Window$:22,8 fps
Linux:19,6 fps
But, as i said the game is more reactive under linux. It's impressive. It use more than 600Megs of ram cache.
edit:----------------------------------
Many crashes. With both Nvidia and ATI. I run the game with doom3 +set sys_videoram 128
because only 64 are recognized by default.

The sound engine currently requires the OSS API, and Alsa is not supported. Only stereo is supported. Alsa support and 5.1 sound may be available in future releases.
no 3d sound? Isn't that meant to be one of the main attractions of doom3? And no amd64 binaries either (and none planned). Although I am very excited that doom3 is finally available, I am somewhat disappointed by this partial support. I might just get the demo and buy the full thing once 5.1 sound is supported.

thanks for posting the info! Should be exciting!

Unfortunately I have two problems:

1) FTP is too busy and Firefox won't let me SAVE AS ... for the torrent so I can't save it. wierd!

2) I have an ATI card and in the FAQ it says ATI drivers don't work right now with fglrx. NOOOO!!!
