Issues unresolved
Visual twitch bug with OpenAL/EAX
Using OpenAL (seta s_useOpenAL "1" in DoomConfig.cfg), which was added with patch 1.3 and is automatically engaged when EAX is turned on, results in frequent visual twitching/screen shifting. It is currently unknown whether this happens on all configurations, but the problem persists in the latest patch. A video of the glitch in action can be seen here (0:07, 0:11).
For Audigy cards a fix has been reported in the form of running an old beta driver, however this is only applicable to this series of sound cards and Windows XP.[9]

Linux Installation
To install Doom 3 on Linux create a doom3 folder and then copy the following retail pk4 files to your doom3/base folder:
base/pak000.pk4 base/pak001.pk4 base/pak002.pk4 base/pak003.pk4 base/pak004.pk4
If installing the expansion pack you must also copy the following retail pk4 to your <path-to-game>/d3xp
folder:
:d3xp/pak000.pk4
After copying all pk4 files to your hard drive run the Linux patch and direct it to your doom3 folder. You can start the game with the command: doom3. To launch the expansion use: doom3 +set fs_game d3xp
For Arch Linux, two PKGBUILDs are available in the AUR for Doom 3; one that builds from source and one that provides a binary (if keeping to the Arch Way, you should prefer to build from source).
Mods
Doom 3 has a small, but very knowledgeable mod community that is still very active and covers most id tech based games.
