  • I had no idea Doom 3 is so gosh darned good
    I played through it with dhewm3 recently. Really enjoyed it. Source: about 1 year ago
  • You can play Doom 3 in a web browser
    There is a source port of Doom 3 if you want to play it on Linux or macOS. Source: over 1 year ago
  • What's the best way to play DOOM 3 nowadays?
    If you are going to play it on PC, then get the original 2004 release, with the dhewm3 source port since it can get to widescreen easily and is friendlier on modern devices. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Has anyone installed Doom 3 (original, not BFG Edition or new bundled) from Steam on a Windows 10 system, and then copied it to their .steam folder on Ubuntu 22.04LTS and be able to play it with Wine without Steam?
    Why do you want to run old, buggy code through wine when you could use native dhewm3 to play the original (non-BFG) version of doom3 with Bugfixes, OpenAL audio and proper widescreen support? https://dhewm3.org/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Which version of Doom 3 is best to play?
    For me go for the original Doom 3 + dhewm3 source port since the source port can get to widescreen easily and is friendlier on modern devices. BFG Edition aint that bad but its very easy and lacking other content that the original Doom 3 had (especially ROE) and it has less enemy count. Source: almost 2 years ago
