I installed it last night, copied the base/ directory over to/usr/local/games/doom3/base and fired off doom3, didn't once ask for a serial-number
unless it grabbed the serial from my Windows install when I copied over the base/ directory (I extraced the pak files so I don't know what was all in that base/ directory)
It seems to run about the same, some reports say that it runs a tad slower but from personal experiance it runs a tad better for me
Just keep the detail level at medium and it runs fine on an Athlon +1600 w/ a Geforce 4 ti 4800 and 382 of (older)DDR memory. But I really could use more memory as I see the game effectivly sucks it all away during play.
They developed a way to get the GameCube online...something the device was never meant to do.
I think Nintindo is making a good call by going with these guys, if they can make hardware go online this was never suppose to, imagine what they can do with hardware this is designed to go online

I tried this with Cedega a couple weeks after the game was released, compared to Windows it ran terrible...but it did run even though the frame rate was very very low 10 The colors were off Sounds were ok
Since then I've shelved the game and am waiting for the native installer. Wine with this game (at least on my system) is just not worth it.
You bought a 64bit consumer orientated chip to use as a server, tried to install 32 bit Windows emulator as AMD64 native binary and have an ATI graphics card to play UT2004?
What? UT2004 has native Linux 64-bit binaries...where you getting the "32 bit Windows emulator" from? Are you claiming that ucc-bin-linux-amd64 is an emulated Windows program??
Maybe now that it is 'officially' out Bioware will take that into consideration and green light the Linux/OSX port for Neverwinter Nights 2. The game is still early enough in development that they could still switch from DX and not have much impact in the release date
But "enjoy poetry" was one thing I never figured out until I found a guide to the game.
That's right out of the book! Arthur tells the Vogon that it's "Actully quite nice" which pisses the commander off and orders them to be tossed out the airlock
Didn't work, the reaction went out of control and fried the arms to his nervous system permanently...then the AI in the arms took him over and went on a crime spree
Lots of people seem to confuse Intel with architecture.
Intel makes x86 processors, same as AMD, VIA and a few others. Intel is a COMPANY not a PROCESSOR. They make processors (the public will never learn, but here's hoping the Slashdot will) When was the last time you heard someone call a Mustang a Ford? It's partially correct but inaccurate.
Those that think AMD is a 'rip-off' of Intel are mis-informed. Back in the 80's Intel and AMD worked together and standardized the x86 architecture then went their separate ways, both owning the rights to use x86 (I think technically AMD licensed the rights but after much design change the license is no longer needed)
Either way, I don't think the AMD64 was designed to compete against the Itanium, but to take the next step in x86 the architecture. If it was I would think the prices of the AMD64's would be closer to the $6000 that the Itanium holds.
What I wanna know is, why the hell do companies like Broadcom still get away with ignoring Linux users? What can we do to pressure them into releasing drivers?!
Don't buy their products? Seriously, if they start to notice that their sales are dropping and they see "Don't buy Broadcom" all over Linux sites...someone there might take the hint...
They do, the latest firmware supports rfmon. I haven't tried it in the last couple months since it was first implemented in the ipw2100 driver and firmware, but it worked (with minor packet corruption, I think that has been redueced in the last couple releases)

Which might be a bad mistake for id, not having a serial-check at all. Now all the butt-pirates need to worry about is getting the pak files
Shouldn't the serial key be required for online play? (I've never played Doom3 online so I don't know)
Quake 1 was software only, but there have been many OpenGL ports made for it since it was released

Doh, you got me...

Spend the $100 and get a Ti card then

I have a GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE w/128MB and it runs Doom3 fine at 1024x768 with medium detail
;-)
Maybe you should try not running it with maxed out detail settings?

Here's a download for a tarball that has no installer or Windows files "to pick out"k .tar.bz2

Also Linux Gamers are working on getting this into a Loki Installer, hopefully we'll see it early this weekend
Simple enough
One guy on the mailing list claims that he extracted the whole package to his install and started a listen server without any problems

Ever hear of the Torque Engine? It is an open source game engine that Garage Games has available to license.
You can not release a game based on this engine unless you pay them for the license. It is possile

It'd think the 'broken windows' and 'borg gates' fall under parody rules...
of course this whole thing was meant to be a joke and I get modded informative and insightful...good ol' Slashdot! =)
No, Slashdot can't use Microsoft's logos...MS would sue Slashdot if they did for copyright/trademark infringement!
