Ah, thanks. CC BY-NC-SA is pretty good, so other noncommercial games can use it :)

Well, I wasn't able to launch the game on my machine (it is so old…) but main menu is so pretty! ;-)

The loading is quite long. My pc froze the first I attempted to launch the game, but I didn't have any problem after that (for that matter, no PulseAudio here, only Alsa). It runs pretty well on my 5 years old laptop (I expected it to be laggy, it wasn't :), but it's not so surprising as Doom 3 was released 9 years ago, in 2004).

Still there are games that look worse and go much slower...

I was unable to run the game. I didn't check the hardware requirements but I am sure I do not meet them :(

Ask in the tdm forum, they are friendly and helpful... usually.

Fuck, that shit makes me rage. PulseAudio and that nouveau shit. Especially PulseAudio. Kernel panics out the ass. I have no clue why, but my hardware and those drivers just won't play nice. Except for Ubuntu with Unity I have never had a linux distro that kept itself in one piece for more than a week.

Apparently, it is possible to solve the sound delay problem on a PulseAudio system with these commands:

Code: Select all

# To know the sound card's name (DG in this example)
aplay -l

# Start The Dark Mod specifying the sound card to use
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:.
exec ./thedarkmod.x86 +set s_alsa_pcm sysdefault:CARD=DG
These instructions come from an article about TDM being drafted (so only accessible to logged users for now) on linuxfr.org, a French website about Linux and free software.
