Issues fixed
- A comprehensive list of issues, and their fixes, is listed on the Dark Mod Wiki here.
Game refuses to run on 64-bit Ubuntu
If it complains about missing libcurl version 4, try installing libcurl3 package forcing i386 architecture by issuing the following command:
sudo apt-get install libcurl3:i386
No sound in Linux
Ubuntu Linux uses PulseAudio as default backend. To configure Dark Mod for PulseAudio, use the following command:
env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 ./thedarkmod.x86 +set s_driver best +set s_alsa_pcm default
This will re-route game's ALSA output to Pulse and increase its latency a little bit in order to prevent sound skipping.
If you insist on using ALSA however, follow the steps below:
- get the list of available sound devices using
aplay -L
(that's capital L) - start the game using pasuspender and the parameter
+set s_alsa_pcm DEVICE
where DEVICE is one of the entries from the list you obtained in the previous step, e.g.:
pasuspender ./thedarkmod.x86 +set s_alsa_pcm sysdefault:CARD=PCH +set NumberOfSpeakers 2
Issues unresolved
Issues with missions supporting EAX effects with EAX enabled
- EAX support has been broken since version 1.2, causing missions supporting it to either incorrectly load or, under Windows 10, cause a BSOD.[2][3]

Performance tweaks
- Performance tweaks can be found at the Dark Mod Wiki and the Dark Mod FAQ.
- The game is built on the Doom 3 engine, so the TweakGuide should still be applicable.
- Do not tweak the
r_lightScale
variable as it's used to calculate player's visibility (light gem). It's actually possible to disable all lights in the game by assigning it a value of 0.
