Doom3 for Linux is out

Although I don't like Linux, but I support those who want to use it, & this is the big news

ID has released the Linux version of Doom3, since it is OpenGL Powered it can run on all plateform, Linux Mac or Windows, unlike DirecrX which runs only on Windows

Anandtech has done a review comparing Windows & Linux version of Doom3, with both nvidia & ati drivers, Nvidia runs it fine on Linux while ATI is very badly supported, too bad

Those who use linux, rejoice, the game is here, starting a new era of Linux gaming

------------------------------

Did I still here someone saying that OpenGL is dead for gaming, & ATI rocks & they don't need to support OpenGL as there are only a few games in OpenGL

 

hey saurav... nice info... my tux-lover calssmates gonna love this... i also don't do linux... but it's cool... tht big and rocking games are being developped for linux also...

 

Right cheekoo, all linux geeks from ur class will DOOM now... like they did with Windows version in lab last month...

@Saurav, Doom3 for tux is OpenGL... and ur saying it will run on Mac, Win and Tux...?

means?

Does it means the Doom3 I download for Linux will also run on Mac and Win.... how!!!???

I'm confused.

 

COOL
But i dont think the linux version is goin to hit lammy quite some time.
will have to buy it.

 

aha that's nice news

..:: peace ::..

Hardware requirements on linux?

gxsaurav
You go on suggesting everywhere this thread... that thread be deleted everywhere. Why didn't you post this one in software or QnA section instead then.

 

There is no gaming section here, else I would have posted it there, it's not a software news, so I posted here, gaming news

As U guys read in the Article on Anandtech, ATI card do not support Doom3 on linux, cos they have bad drivers for Linux & even bad OpenGL performance, so those having Linux & ATI cards are out of luck anyway

Since it is made in OpenGL, it can run on Mac, Windows, & Linux all, but for Windows they have to compile it according to windows (doom3.exe) while for mac & Linux they have to compile or make something eles as they don't support .exe files,

hey Linux Guys, what do Linux has for Application Launch .exe or something else

 

yeh achhi baat hai

 

My PC sucks.

I don't have an xbox either. Heard they gonna release it on this one soon as well.
Life is not easy. I think I suck too.

 

wow...this is good news 4 linux users and if developers keep coming up stuff like this 4 linux, windows better watch out.....

 

Hey, this was in the General Section, how it came here

 

Nice info m8.

 

UNIX systems in general have file permissions like [ -rwxr-xr-x ]
that "x" means that file is executable... extensions dont matter anything and are just used for convenience and sorting of files.... and that means you can execute a file ending with .txt extension also...

 

[ -rwxr-xr-x ] what

oh! I just remembered I m fighting with U in the other thread, oh & in Windows we simply have "Double Click" thats all

PS : not for this thread
