dhewm3 is a GPL source port of Doom 3 that modernizes the id Tech 4 engine with SDL, OpenAL, 64-bit support, widescreen resolutions, and gamepad support. It requires the original game data and fixes bugs without altering original gameplay.
Use cases
- play doom 3 on linux
- run doom 3 on modern 64-bit systems
- play doom 3 with widescreen resolution support
- play doom 3 with a gamepad
- get EAX-like surround sound in doom 3 on any OS
- run doom 3 mods with a modernized engine
- play doom 3 on macOS or FreeBSD
When to choose
- you legally own Doom 3 (not BFG edition) and want to play it on modern platforms
- you want bugfixes, widescreen, and gamepad support without gameplay changes
- you want to run or port Doom 3 mods on Linux/macOS/FreeBSD
When to avoid
- you only own Doom 3: BFG Edition (not supported)
- you want enhanced graphics or gameplay overhauls rather than faithful bugfixes
- you need a general-purpose id Tech 4 engine for new game development
