Bugzilla Bug 140441

games-fps/duke3d-20040817 hangs at the menu every time for me, at which point
it needs a kill -9 passed to it.

 1) Run duke3d
 2) Animated screen with the rocket and symbol is shown. Sound is heard.
 3) 3d Realms logo shown
 4) Duke standing over a dead alien
 5) Menu appears with what looks like the wall of a level in background,
weapons and their status can be seen in the bottom. No keys work whatsoever.
Must drop to console and kill -9

I have tried with both USE="opengl" and USE="-opengl" with zero change. I have
tried to get an strace, however when I redirect it to a file, the file reaches
several hundred MB and never does anything.

Any ideas?

I had the exact same problem. 

This was solved by using the portage overlay duke3d-overlay.tar.bz in
comment #5 of Bug 122290.

Hope this helps.

The problem should be sorted when 122290 is closed.

A fix should be in portage. Thanks for report.
