• 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: over 1 year ago

• Doom and Quake titles will be delisted and re-bundled on Steam

  Doom3 is open source and there's community made source ports that add support for modern stuff like higher resolution so you don't have to use BFG which in my opinion changes the game for worse in some aspects. Check out https://dhewm3.org/. Source: almost 2 years ago

  The original. Also you most likely want the Dhewm3 source port as it adds better compatibility for modern systems and fixes a few bugs. Source: almost 2 years ago

  BFG has better out of the box support, but both versions are open source and as such the community has made source ports for both of them to the point they are essentially equivalent and you only pick the one with the features you want the most, last time I played was using BFG because RBDOOM3 added support for PBR so the game isn't so absurdly dark but your mileage may vary and may prefer dhewm3's more faithful...

• KAMEHAMEHAAAAAAA

  So how do I fix the original version? As I said earlier, BFG edition works out of the box compared to the original version, so how can you fix that? All of the unsupported video settings and monitor sizes can be fixed by using Dhewm3 and (optionally) cst-doom3 which adds several new gameplay options if you are interested. Please note that installing it may take some time. I should also note that ALL of the mods... Source: almost 2 years ago
