Glad to assist! I updated the FAQ wiki with these details.

Try s_device alsa If that doesn't work, try editing: ~/.alsoftrc add drivers=alsa

Try setting s_device to sysdefault or pipewire in the TDM console or Darkmod.cfg

Post the results for: aplay -L

Hmm do you have Alsa-firmware installed? Audio

Do you have OpenAL installed? Please post the results for: ldd ./thedarkmod.x64 https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Installer_and_Manual_Installation#Install_TDM_on_a_Linux_Distribution

Do you have pipewire-alsa installed in zypper ? Are you running tdm as root? ( don't do that if so ) https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=FAQ#Sound_Issues

PC Gamer came through with a big article: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/sim/after-16-years-the-dark-mod-finally-has-guards-as-perceptive-as-in-thief-the-days-of-seeing-knocked-out-ai-in-the-middle-of-a-bright-spotlight-get-ignored-are-over/

Sorry folks, somehow tdm_ai_base01.pk4 was uploaded instead of tdm_base01.pk4. This has been fixed.

A few new articles popped up: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/03/thief-like-free-and-open-source-game-the-dark-mod-2-13-brings-better-ai-vision-and-new-graphical-goodies/ https://www.pcgamesn.com/thief/the-dark-mod-update https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/version-2-13-of-the-dark-mod-thief-game-in-the-doom-3-engine-released/

2.13 version is up: https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dark-mod/addons/fresnel-mod-213-unofficial

Here is a texture pack that players can install into their darkmod folder to address this: https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dark-mod/addons/tdm-213-mipmap-hotfix-for-lowend-players

Delete the mission line in darkmod/currentfm.txt then use the in-game downloader to update all missions
