Doom 3 screenshot

Doom 3, and other games based on the same engine (Quake 4, Prey) all have severe problems with shadows. I'm attaching a screenshot to show the problem.

This happens when the arb2 renderer is used, which seems to be the default. 
Setting it manually to arb (+set r_renderer arb) doesn't result in this problem, but it's a lot less fun as it makes the game quite ugly.

I will retry later with Mesa 7.2 to see if this is a regression.

May be fixed as of 3e0164aabb48a99fce58964cad99fd3978ee84f6 in mesa.

Doom 3 menu

It's still there, in fact the broken shadows can even be seen on the planet in the menu, which also has other strange effects. I'm attaching a new screenshot.

Last I used doom 3 long ago, it had z-fighting-looking issues like that in the main menu.  Do you have some evidence that it's gem-related?
Comment 4 Sven Arvidsson 2008-12-04 14:59:39 UTC
No, indeed, the problems with shadows and the menu exist with a non-GEM kernel too.
Comment 5 Gordon Jin 2008-12-09 22:19:24 UTC
Thanks, Sven, I'm marking dup.

Mass version move, cvs -> git
