You should take a look if you want to have Doom III run faster on Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 To Doom III Linux gamers: You can now upgrade to the latest nVidia driver 1.0-6629, which will provide some nice performance improvement. It worths it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I'm going to so this all in the hopes it works, because Doom 3 is crappy running natively so far. I ran MUCH better under Cedega on my system, and it shouldn't be that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 If you haven't reported this as a bug already, maybe you should... The dude who ported the game is in #icculus.org on freenode somethimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude who ported the game is in #icculus.org on freenode somethimes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would, but I'm not sure if it is really a bug. All I can say is, 'It ran faster and more smoothly in Cedega.' And that's about it. The game is working in Linux, and working "well" - it's just slow and choppy and I have to run it at a lower resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Sounds like a bug to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted November 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 The weird thing is the latest nVidia driver provides a very nice 15-40% performance improvement on GeForce 5 or 6 series. So, it could be a driver issue here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I'm not sure it could be related to the driver, since the same game works just fine in WineX. Yes, I still call it WineX. SoulSe, I'm not that familiar with the game, but does it use Direct3D or OpenGL in Windows/WineX? Also, could you test them both out with the sound disabled? It could be the something relating to sound support built into the Linux client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
