With the release of the source code to both Doom 3 and the later BFG Edition, there now exists three options for Linux users wanting to play the game.

RBDOOM-3-BFG

• extract data using lutris Native + GOG script
  • select gog.exe windows installer
  • don’t launch at the end => otherwise it freeze and clear the game folder (it executes the windows executable)
  • the RBDOOM-3-BFG executable retrieved by lutris has missing av-lib dependencies. - recompiling the binary from sources work perfectly well, afterwhat the games become playable.
