To play the game, you need the game data from a legal copy of the game, which

On Linux and OSX the easiest way to install is with SteamCMD: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD

NOTE that we've previously recommended using download_depot in the Steam console to install the game data. That turned out to be unreliable and result in broken, unusable game data. So use SteamCMD instead, as described above.

Alternatively with the GOG installer, you can use Wine to install the game. See https://winehq.org/download for details on how to install wine for Linux and Mac.

Once Wine is installed and configured on your system install Doom 3 BFG edition using the downloaded installers from gog.com:

> wine setup_doom_3_bfg_1.14_\(13452\)_\(g\).exe

(there will be several .exe files from GOG, make sure all of them are in the same directory)

|
||||
Once this is complete, by default you can find your Doom 3 BFG "base/" directory at ".wine/drive_c/GOG\ Games/DOOM\ 3\ BFG/base".
|
||||
|

Note that you may want to add the following line to the bottom of the default.cfg in whatever "base/" directory you use:
|
||||
|
||||
> set sys_lang "english"
|
||||
|

This will ensure the game and its menus are in english and don't default to something else. Alternatives include:
|

set sys_lang "english"

set sys_lang "french"
|

set sys_lang "german"
