Grrrrreat, so it's something at least somewhat unique to me and my M1 Max 16" running 13.1.

I don't even know how to begin troubleshooting this - not clear who I'd send a bug report to, and I certainly don't have the programming skils to download the source code and fix it myself :(

The link in the first post is the Intel version. That version also runs fine on my M1 Max MBP on 13.1 in Rosetta 2.

Then someone else recompiled it for ARM (see post 7), and that's the version that is broken for me.

Absolutely, thx to Macs Source Ports got Doom 3 & Doom 3 BFG running on Apple Silicon. The game has never looked better...

Snapshot from a way older RBDoom 3 BFG engine, looks way better now in 2023 :cool: All thx to the magic of the Dev's dedication👍😊👍 D3 is right up my street, time to hit the the expansion packs...

Latest version from MacSourcePorts launches then closes for me. Seems to be a file permission issue even with control-key open. However, the previous version which is also AS native works but is missing dialog menu elements when zapping high scores. You can file an issue on Github.

I looked there before, I saw there were no issues whatsoever logged in this system, and concluded that no one was actually using it. But hey, I suppose I might as well TRY to report an issue...

But yup, this is exactly the same problem I am seeing. Have not tried the previous version.

you could click on the previous version link that mi7chy posted to get the working version,
then report the issue with the latest version.
fwiw, that's version running on my machine
