<p><strong>dhewm3</strong> is a source port of the original Doom3 (<strong>not</strong><em>Doom3 BFG</em>, for that you may want to try <ahref="https://github.com/RobertBeckebans/RBDOOM-3-BFG/">RBDoom3BFG</a>). It’s known to work on Windows, Linux, macOS, <ahref="https://freebsd.org">FreeBSD</a>, <ahref="https://openbsd.org">OpenBSD</a> and <ahref="http://www.aros.org/">AROS</a>, but it should work on (or be easily portable to) any system that supports OpenGL 1.4 with <ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARB_assembly_language">ARB shaders</a>, <ahref="http://libsdl.org">SDL</a> and <ahref="http://openal.org">OpenAL</a>.<br/>
Compared to the original version of Doom3, dhewm3 has many bugfixes, supports EAX-like sound effects on all operating systems and hardware (via <ahref="http://openal-soft.org/">OpenAL Softs</a> EFX support), has much better support for widescreen resolutions and has 64bit support.</p>
<p>It only supports <strong>old Mods</strong> if they <em>either</em> don’t require their own game DLL <em>or</em> have been ported to dhewm3 - see the <ahref="./mods.html">Mods page</a> for more information.</p>
<p>Note that while the Doom3 source code has been released under GPL, you still need to legally own the game and provide dhewm3 the game data to play. See the <ahref="#how-to-install">How to Install</a> section for more information.</p>
<p>The second Release Candidate of the upcoming 1.5.2 release is available!</p>
<p>You can <strong><ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/tag/1.5.2_RC2">download it at Github</a></strong> (incl.builds for Windows and 64bit Linux for both dhewm3 <strong>and the supported mods</strong>)</p>
<p><strong>Changes since 1.5.2 Release Candidate 1:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Updated the code of all mods hosted in <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3-sdk">dhewm3-sdk repository</a> with relevant changes from dhewm3.</li>
<li>Support loading some mods known to need <code>fs_game_base d3xp</code> via Mods menu (currently, <em>The Lost Mission</em> and <em>LibreCoop d3xp</em> are supported)</li>
<li>Disable assertion in idSampleDecoderLocal::DecodeOGG() that triggered when starting a new Classic Doom3 game (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/461">#461</a>)</li>
<li>Fix assertion when loading a mod via menu (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/458">#458</a>)<br/>
(this was a regression introduced with the keyboard improvements after 1.5.1)</li>
<li>Fix mouse remaining ungrabbed when running map from Radiant (this was a regression introduced with the reworked mouse grabbing code after 1.5.1)</li>
<p>A first Release Candidate of the upcoming 1.5.2 release is available!</p>
<p>You can <strong><ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/tag/1.5.2_RC1">download it at Github</a></strong> (incl.builds for Windows and 64bit Linux)</p>
<p><strong>Changes since 1.5.1:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Gamma and Brightness are now applied in the shaders instead of by setting hardware gamma.<br/>
Can be disabled (so hardware gamma is used again) with <code>r_gammaInShaders 0</code></li>
<li>Improvements for (Windows-only) MFC-based tools:
<ul>
<li>Added the script debugger! (thanks <em>HarrievG</em>!)<br/>
Original Doom3 didn’t have it (Quake4 did), but the Doom3 GPL source contained most of it. <em>HarrievG</em> implemented the missing parts and we added some new features. It can even be used over the network and while the client part (the debugger GUI) is Windows-only, the server can run on all supported platforms, so you can debug a game running on Linux or macOS, for example.<br/>
Relevant CVars for network debugging are: <code>com_enableDebuggerServer</code> and <code>com_dbgClientAdr</code> and <code>com_dbgServerAdr</code>.<br/>
To debug the running game on the same PC, just enter <code>debugger</code> in the console.</li>
<li>All tools can now be built in 64bit (thanks <em>raynorpat</em>!)</li>
<li>HighDPI support (thanks <em>HarrievG</em>!)</li>
<li>PDAEditor works now</li>
<li>Additional bugfixes</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Cycle through multiple Quicksave slots instead of immediately overwriting the last Quicksave. The <code>com_numQuicksaves</code> CVar allows setting the number of QuickSaves (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/392">#392</a>)</li>
<li>Make r_locksurfaces work (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/357">#357</a>)<br/>
It doesn’t do exactly what its description and name suggests: it renders everything that is <em>currently</em> visible from the position/view the player had when setting <code>r_locksurfaces 1</code>. Originally it was supposed to render exactly the surfaces that <em>were</em> visible then, but I couldn’t get that to work.<br/>
This is pretty similar, but there may be differences with opened doors and such.</li>
<li>Explicit support for Right Ctrl, Alt and Shift keys<br/>
(can be bound to different actions than their left counterparts)</li>
<li>Added <code>in_grabKeyboard</code> CVar to make sure dhewm3 gets <em>all</em> keyboard input<br/>
Prevents the Windows-key or Alt-Tab or whatever from taking focus from the game</li>
<li>Added <code>in_ignoreConsoleKey</code> - if set to <code>1</code>, the console is only opened with Shift+Esc, and the “console key” (that key between Esc, 1 and Tab) can be freely bound to an action (and its char can be typed in the console without closing it).</li>
<li>Added (SDL2-only) “auto” option for <code>in_kbd</code>: When not disabling the console key, dhewm3 will try to automatically detect it if <code>in_kbd</code> is set to “auto” (now default)</li>
<li><code>s_alReverbGain</code> CVar to reduce EFX reverb effect intensity (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/365">#365</a>)</li>
<li>Pause (looped) sounds when entering menu (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/330">#330</a>)</li>
<li>Fixes for looped sounds (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/390">#390</a>)</li>
<li>Replace libjpeg with stb_image and libogg/libvorbis(file) with stb_vorbis
<ul>
<li>Now the only required external dependencies should be OpenAL, SDL, zlib and optionally libCURL (and of course the C and C++ runtimes)</li>
</ul></li>
<li>(Optionally) use libbacktrace on non-Windows platforms for more useful backtraces in case of crashes (usually linked statically)</li>
<li>Fixed a deadlock (freeze) on Windows when printing messages from another thread</li>
<li>Fixed endless loop (game locking up at startup) if graphics settings couldn’t be applied (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/386">#386</a>)</li>
<li>Fixed some warnings and uninitialized variables (thanks <em>turol</em>!)</li>
<li>Work around dmap bug caused by GCC using FMA “optimizations” (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/147">#147</a>)</li>
<li>Prevent dhewm3 from being run as root on Unix-like systems to improve security</li>
<li>Replaced most usages of <code>strncpy()</code> with something safer to prevent buffer overflows (remaining cases should be safe).
<ul>
<li>Just a precaution, I don’t know if any of them could actually be exploited, but there were some compiler warnings in newer GCC versions.</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Console output is now logged to <code>dhewm3log.txt</code> (last log is renamed to <code>dhewm3log-old.txt</code>)
<ul>
<li>On Windows it’s in <code>My Documents/My Games/dhewm3/</code></li>
<li>On Mac it’s in <code>$HOME/Library/Application Support/dhewm3/</code></li>
<li>On other Unix-like systems like Linux it’s in <code>$XDG_DATA_HOME/dhewm3/</code> (usually <code>$HOME/.local/share/dhewm3/</code>)</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Improved compatibility with Wayland (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/426">#426</a>)</li>
<li>Work around assertion in AlphaLabs4 due to “ride_of_death” yeeting the dead “monster_zsec_shotgun_12” into the void (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/409">#409</a>)</li>
<p>It’s still a very valuable resource for modding Doom3/Quake4/idTech4.</p>
<p>It was reconstructed from archive.org and private backups that several people luckily made while the original page was still up. This mirror is (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/iddevnet#missing-files-not-available-on-archiveorg-either">as good as</a>) complete, <em>even including downloads!</em><br/>
To make sure it doesn’t get lost again (and for offline viewing), the whole page source is <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/iddevnet">available on Github</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Hard Corps</strong></p>
<p><ahref="mods/hc1.jpg"title="Screenshot of Hard Corps"><imgsrc="mods/small-hc1.jpg"style="max-width:50%;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:block"></a></p>
<p>The <strong>Doom 3: Hard Corps</strong> mod, which supports dhewm3 exclusively, has been released. It’s an updated/remastered version of the well-known <em>HardQore2</em> mod and turns Doom3 into a side-scroller.</p>
<p>You can get it at <ahref="https://www.moddb.com/mods/hardcorps">ModDB</a>; our <ahref="./mods.html#hard-corps">Mods page</a> also has some information and screenshots.</p>
<p>There have been a lot of improvements to dhewm3 since 1.5.1.<br/>
Several concern the (sadly still Windows-only) tools, like full 64bit support, High-DPI support and the Script Debugger you might remember from Quake4!<br/>
Furthermore, dhewm3 now applies brightness and gamma in shaders, which means that those settings work better on all platforms (no more changing gamma of the whole screen) and are visible in screenshots (so those now look the same as the game itself). Other improvements include multiple Quicksave slots (that are cycled through), improved keyboard support, fewer external dependencies and of course bugfixes.<br/>
<p><ahref="./dhewm3-1.5.1-demo.jpg"title="Doom3 Demo in dhewm3 1.5.1"><imgsrc="./medium-dhewm3-1.5.1-demo.jpg"style="max-width:50%;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:block"></a></p>
<p>dhewm3 1.5.1 is done.</p>
<p>Apart from lots of bugfixes, the biggest changes since 1.5.0 are support for the (Windows-only) editing tools and for the <ahref="#using-the-doom3-demo-gamedata">Doom3 Demo gamedata</a>.<br/>
<p>Furthermore, there now is a coop mode for dhewm3: <ahref="https://www.moddb.com/mods/librecoop-dhewm3-coop">LibreCoop</a>, see the <ahref="./mods.html#librecoop">dhewm3 mods page</a> for more details. Thanks a lot to <em>Stradex</em> for creating it!<br/>
Another Mod that is now supported is <ahref="https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-lost-mission">The Lost Mission</a>, see also <ahref="./mods.html#the-lost-mission">here</a> - thanks to <em>Arl90</em> for making this possible!</p>
<p>You can <strong><ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/tag/1.5.1">download dhewm3 1.5.1 at Github</a></strong> (incl.builds for Windows and 64bit Linux)</p>
<p><ahref="./dhewm3-edit.jpg"title="DOOMEdit running in dhewm3"><imgsrc="./medium-dhewm3-edit.jpg"style="max-width:50%;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:block"></a></p>
<p><strong>Changes since 1.5.0:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The (Windows-only) integrated <strong>editing tools</strong> of Doom3 are back!
<ul>
<li>They can only be built with non-Express versions of Visual Studio (tested Community Editions of VS2013 and VS2017) and can be disabled via CMake</li>
<li>Official dhewm3 Windows binaries are built with tools enabled, of course.</li>
<li>Has some bugfixes over the state in Doom3 1.3.1, like selecting a material in the Particle Editor doesn’t break the viewport of the game any more.</li>
<li>While prior dhewm3 releases for Windows have been built with Visual Studio 2010, this is built with Visual Studio 2017, so if it doesn’t start on your system make sure you have <ahref="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads">the Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable</a> installed - but chances are good you already have it.
<li>Update savegame format (see <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/303">#303</a> and <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/344">#344</a>)
Added Mod DLLs of <ahref="https://www.moddb.com/mods/librecoop-dhewm3-coop">LibreCoop</a> and <ahref="https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-lost-mission">The Lost Mission</a>.<br/>
See <ahref="./mods.html">the Mods page</a> for more details.</li>
<li>This is based on <em>Gabriel Cuvillier’s</em> code for <ahref="http://www.continuation-labs.com/projects/d3wasm/">D3Wasm</a>, which ports dhewm3 to web browsers, thanks!</li>
<li>Added <code>r_fullscreenDesktop</code> CVar to set if fullscreen mode should be “classic” or “Desktop” which means a borderless window at desktop resolution</li>
<li>Fullscreen modes that are not at the current desktop resolution should work better now
<ul>
<li>including nvidia DSR / AMD VSR; for that you might have to use the supplied <code>dhewm3_notools.exe</code>, as DSR/VSR seem to be incompatible with applications that use MFC (the GUI framework used for the Doom3 tools like the D3Radiant)</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Several sound-related bugfixes:
<ul>
<li>Lags in starting to play a sound which for example caused the machinegun or plasmagun sounds to stutter have been eliminated (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/141">#141</a>)</li>
<li>Trying to reset disconnected OpenAL devices, this esp.helps with display audio on Intel GPUs on Windows, when switching to fullscreen (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/209">#209</a>)</li>
<li>Make “idSoundCache: error unloading data from OpenAL hardware buffer” a Warning instead of an Error so it doesn’t terminate game (by <em>Corey O’Connor</em>, <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/pull/235">#235</a>)</li>
<li>This neither seems to make a visual nor performance difference on any hardware I tried (including Raspberry Pi 4), so this is mostly out of principle</li>
<li>Based on Code by <ahref="https://github.com/ljbade/doom3.gpl/commit/d4de024341e79e0ac1dfb54fb528859f8ccea605"><em>Leith Bade</em></a> and <ahref="https://github.com/raynorpat/Doom3/blob/2933cb554587aea546c2df1fdf086204d4ca363d/neo/renderer/draw_stencilshadow.cpp#L147-L182"><em>Pat Raynor</em></a>.</li>
<li>The <code>r_useCarmacksReverse</code> and <code>r_useStencilOpSeparate</code> CVars allow switching both things on/off for comparison</li>
</ul></li>
<li>New CVar <code>g_hitEffect</code>: If set to <code>0</code>, the player camera damage effects (like double-vision and extreme tilt) when being hit are disabled (by <em>dobosken</em>, <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/pull/279">#279</a>).</li>
<li>(On Windows) stdout.txt and stderr.txt are not saved next to the binary anymore, but in <code>My Documents/My Games/dhewm3/</code>, like save games, because the binary dir might not be writable and dhewm3 wouldn’t start properly then</li>
<li>Fixed clipping bug in delta1 which sometimes occured and made climbing some ladders impossible (see <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/328">#328</a>)</li>
<li>Improve compatibility with some custom scripts (“t->c->value.argSize == func->parmTotal” Assertion; see <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/303">#303</a>)</li>
<li>Registering multiplayer servers at id’s master-server fixed, so they can be found in the multiplayer menu (by <em>Stradex</em>, <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/pull/293">#293</a>)</li>
<li>Support for <ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducible_builds">reproducible builds</a> by setting the CMake option <code>REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD</code>.</li>
<li>Should build on recent versions of macOS, also on Apple Silicon (thanks <em>Dave Nicolson</em> and <em>Petter Uvesten</em>).</li>
<li>Proper handling of paths with dots in directory names (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/299">#299</a>, <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/301">#301</a>)
<li><code>idFileSystemLocal::ListMods()</code> doesn’t search <code>/</code> or <code>C:\</code> anymore (it did so if one of the paths, like <code>fs_cdpath</code>, was empty)</li>
<li>Don’t use translation in Autosave filenames (see <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/305">#305</a>)
<li>In the Spanish translation all the Alpha Lab autosaves got the same name, now the autosave name is based on the mapename instead which is distinct</li>

<p>You can <strong><ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/tag/1.5.1_RC3">download it at Github</a></strong> (incl.builds for Windows and 64bit Linux)</p>
<li>Uploaded updated builds of Mod DLLs, now also supporting <ahref="https://www.moddb.com/mods/librecoop-dhewm3-coop">LibreCoop</a> and <ahref="https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-lost-mission">The Lost Mission</a></li>
<li>In the Spanish translation all the Alpha Lab autosaves got the same name, now the autosave name is based on the mapename instead which is distinct</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Create the game window on the display the cursor is currently on (when using more than one display)</li>
<li>Added <code>r_fullscreenDesktop</code> CVar to set if fullscreen mode should be “classic” or “Desktop” which means a borderless window at desktop resolution</li>
<li>Fullscreen modes that are not at the current desktop resolution should work better now

<li><ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/download/1.5.0/dhewm3_1.5.0_win32.zip">dhewm3-mods_1.5.0_win32.zip</a> contains prebuild Windows game DLLs for those Mods (except Rivensin) and a README that tells you where to get the game data</li>
<li>See <ahref="./mods.html">the Mods page</a> for more information.</li>
<li>Scale menus, fullscreen videos and the PDA to 4:3 (with black bars left/right) on widescreen displays so they don’t look stretched/distorted. Can be disabled with <code>r_scaleMenusTo43 0</code>.<br/>
No, this unfortunately can’t be done for the HUD (except for the crosshair), because it also handles fullscreen effects (for example when receiving damage), and those would look bad with black/empty bars on left/right.</li>
<li>Commandline option to display some help on supported commandline arguments: <code>-h</code> or <code>--help</code> or <code>-help</code> or <code>/?</code></li>
<li><del>(Experimental) uncapped framerate, enable by entering <code>com_fixedTic -1</code> in the console (can be set back with <code>com_fixedTic 0</code>).</del> (<ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/261">this turned out to be broken</a>)</li>
<li>Providing binaries for Linux amd64 (x86_64) now
<ul>
<li>Should work on any halfway-recent distro, needs <code>libSDL2-2.0.so.0</code>, <code>libopenal.so.1</code> and <code>libcurl.so.4</code> installed</li>
<li>Updated some libraries bundled in the Win32 build: <ahref="https://libsdl.org">SDL2 2.0.9</a>, <ahref="https://openal-soft.org/">OpenAL-soft 1.19.1</a> and <ahref="https://curl.haxx.se">curl 7.62.0</a></li>
<p>I guess it makes sense to be a bit less dependent on Github (especially as it has been bought by Microsoft, but also in general), so I decided to create this homepage with a domain I control.<br/>
Another advantage is that it has some screenshots and more user-centric documentation than the <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/blob/master/README.md">README.md</a>.<br/>
We’ll continue to use Github for hosting the code and issues (and indeed this page via github pages), but if we need to migrate to another hoster some day, <ahref="http://dhewm3.org">dhewm3.org</a> will still be reachable and will link to the new code repo and issue tracker instead.</p>
<li>Fixed some (kinda rare) crashes due to assertion errors, especially observed in the last boss fights of both doom3 and the Resurrection of Evil Addon.</li>
<p>If you bought the game on CDs/DVD, base/pak000.pk4 - pak004.pk4 and d3xp/pak000.pk4 can be copied from the disks, the other files are from the patch.</p>
<p>On <strong>Linux</strong> (and probably other <strong>Unix-like</strong> systems and maybe even Windows with a mingw shell) you can extract the needed files from <ahref="https://files.holarse-linuxgaming.de/native/Spiele/Doom%203/doom3-linux-1.3.1.1304.x86.run">the official 1.3.1 patch for Linux</a> with:</p>
<p>On <strong>Windows</strong> you can just install the game and <ahref="https://archive.org/details/Doom_3_1.3.1">the official 1.3.1 patch for Windows</a> and then get the files from the installation directory (or copy dhewm3 in there).</p>
<p>First you need to buy <ahref="http://store.steampowered.com/app/9050/">Doom3</a> of course (and the <ahref="https://store.steampowered.com/app/9070/">Resurrection of Evil Addon</a>, if you want that too; Note that the Addon is not available in Germany).</p>
<p>Thankfully the game from Steam is already fully patched to 1.3.1.</p>
<p>On <strong>Windows</strong>, <em>just install</em> it and copy the game data from there (see above for what files are needed).</p>
<p>On <strong>macOS</strong> unfortunately you can’t just install the game (unless you run Windows Steam in Wine), because it’s Windows-only on Steam and Steam (currently?) doesn’t use Proton on Mac.</p>
See <ahref="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#macOS">this description for macOS</a> or <ahref="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Linux">here for Linux</a> on how to install SteamCMD on your system. You won’t have to create a new user.</p>
When it’s done you should have the normal windows installation of doom3 in <code>./doom3/</code> and the needed files in <code>./doom3/base/</code><br/>
It should be possible to get the <em>Resurection of Evil</em> data in the same way, by replacing <code>9050</code> with <code>9070</code>; the files should be in <code>./doom3/d3xp/</code> then.</p>
<p>By the way, that number is the “AppID” of Doom3/RoE; if you wanna use this to get the data of other games you own, you can look up the AppID at <ahref="https://steamdb.info/">SteamDB</a>.</p>
<h3id="using-the-doom3-demo-gamedata">Using the Doom3 Demo gamedata</h3>
<p>First you need to download the Doom3 Demo, of course.</p>
<p>For <strong>Windows</strong>, you can get <ahref="https://www.fileplanet.com/archive/p-15998/DOOM-3-Demo">D3Demo.exe at Fileplanet</a> and just run the installer.</p>
<p>For <strong>Linux</strong> (and <strong>other operating systems</strong> that have a POSIX-compatible shell and <code>tar</code>) you can download <ahref="https://files.holarse-linuxgaming.de/native/Spiele/Doom%203/Demo/doom3-linux-1.1.1286-demo.x86.run">doom3-linux-1.1.1286-demo.x86.run from Holarse</a> or some other page that has that file.<br/>
Then you can extract the relevant file from the .run installer with</p>
<code>demo00.pk4</code> has a size of 462MB but there are minimal differences between the one for Linux and Windows, so they have different md5sums:<br/>
<p>Both work on all platforms though, but the Linux demo had been released two months after the Demo for Windows and contains at least one tiny bugfix: A missing string for <code>" or "</code> which is used when binding multiple keys to the same action - the Windows Demo shows a nonsense string instead.</p>
<p>On <strong>Windows</strong> you can just download the Win32 binaries from the <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/latest">Download page</a>.<br/>
You can either extract them into your Doom3 installation directory, or into a fresh directory and copy the needed game data (<ahref="#getting-the-doom3-game-data">see above</a>) in there.<br/>
The official Windows binaries are built with Visual Studio 2017, so if it doesn’t start on your system make sure you have <ahref="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads">the Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable <strong>for X86</strong></a> installed.</p>
<p>Similarly, you can find x86_64 (amd64) <strong>Linux</strong> binaries on the <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/latest">Download page</a>.</p>
<p>If you’re using <strong>macOS</strong>, <ahref="https://macsourceports.com">MacSourcePorts.com</a> provides signed and notarized <ahref="https://macsourceports.com/game/doom3">dhewm3 binaries</a> for 64bit Intel and Apple Silicon.</p>
<p>On Linux and *BSD it might be that your package manager provides a dhewm3 package/port that you can install; please refer to that packages documentation on where to put the game data.<br/>
You could also try telling dhewm3 where to find the game data with:</p>
<p>If your package manager does not provide dhewm3, or you want to use the very latest code, you’ll have to compile it yourself. It’s not super hard, see <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/blob/master/README.md#compiling">the README</a> for details on compiling and <ahref="https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/wiki/FAQ#where-do-i-need-to-put-the-game-data-files">the FAQ</a> on where to put the game data.</p>
