[Chromium-users] Running Quake4 / Doom3

[Gee B. K. <vo...@ki...>]

 Hi all,

 Is it possible to run Quake4 (or Doom3) with Chromium (tilesort SPU) ?
Although I tried with our system, it wasn't successful so far : It seems
Chromium (or DMX ?) crashes on the moment Q4 playes intro movie. 

 Regards,
 Gee Bum.

well, we need to know if it is Chromium or DMX that is crashing...
because if it is DMX you are on the wrong mailing list =). It should
be fairly easy to tell.

Now, Xdmx does not support XVideo, or MIT-SHM, ergo those video
playback methods are not available with it. Perhaps you can find a way
to disable the movie (or play it back via another method).

Secondly, I have not heard of anyone using Chromium to play either
game. Chromium supports OpenGL 1.5 as well as a number of extensions.
Try to find a list of the specific extensions and OpenGL version Doom3
requires. (or get an error message from Doom3 that will tell you about
a missing requirement). With this information, we will be able to more
accurately assess the difficulty involved in getting it working.

Thank you for your time,

You can start quake4 w/o intro videos with:
$ quake4 +disconnect


Cheers.
