Also found this on Loki installer. DOn't know if this is the same one or not.

edit: So I installed Doom 3 using the Loki installer and I got the loading screen. Then it says Initializing Menu... but then it hard locks my computer that I can't do anything. I have to do a hard reboot by pressing the power off button. I don't know what's wrong. I guess it could be the ATI driver problem. I don't know.

When I start up the demo it says couldn't initialize opengl, and dies. Hmm...

I had that happen to me. What I did was just reboot my computer and then it worked. Don't know if it will work the same with you or not.
As I mentioned in my previous post, it locks on me when it says it Initializing Menu ...

This might be a good link for finding the Loki installer:

The ID download portal is currently JAMMED SOLID with users downloading the official installer.

Your chance of getting through for the next 24 hrs are between slim and none.

Apparently, it has to be at 24bit color depth to get the game to work, good. Or flawlessly. Im going to try that, when I get out of school.

Waited a long time for this

Will give it a go when I get home tonight.

Seeing as it doesnt run all that great on my Dads PC which is double the speed, it'll be interesting to see what sort of performance I get.

On another get a still get a faster frame rate two resolutions higher.

Wai!
The game works, albeit sluggishly, but that's just my poor hardware.
But there's no sound! Wah!

Code:

------------- Warnings ---------------
during DOOM 3 initialization...
WARNING: ioctl SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED failed to get the requested frequency 44100, got 44101

WARNING: sound subsystem disabled

What on earth does that mean?
I killed artsd, but to no effect. I killed everything that might be blocking audio, but to no effect. No. Sound.

I'm running Mandrake 10.1 RC1 with SB 128, sound does work everywhere else. Anyone else have this problem?

Alsa is not supported if thats what you are using.

But I already provided the link to the Loki installer, so here it is again:

You have to enable OSS kernel drivers for your soundcard.
Edit:-------------------------------------------------
I made a mistake. You have to run the game exactly as quake3:
run artsd, then run doom3 with:
artsdsp -m doom3

hey, i had a weird sound issue. when play doom3 for 1st time the sound worked fine. but after a reboot or something it just stopped, and the rest of the sound the system was fine. had a similar issue with q3 the other night. the sound just didnt start. when id loaded d3 without sound i went to console and saw /dev/dsp mentioned in the console. went back into kde, and added the user to the 'audio' group. and hey-presto it worked. and q3 worked too. just thought id pass that on.

but, oh yeah, im having difficulty getting multiplayer to run with an XP machine...
