I had a bad day today and i need ...... DOUBLE KILL
Have a nice gaming on linux guis ... UT RULLLSSSSSSSSS

We'll properly see the linux client ready around middle of December.

Realy i haven't any information about this client ... so now waiting for best game ever on linux.
10x for information.
Have a nice day

Well, my info is based on how long time went for the previous releases of linux clients for UT series. So if they keep the trend, it should be mid. december.

Unreal Tournament 3 just went Gold today, so it's finished, will be released on the 19th I think, (15th here in Australia so they say), just have to wait a little longer for the Linux binaries to become available.

no linux demo at this time .. in previous ut2004 we had linux demo and .. i thing maybe something wrong now .. but ... i sill waiting ... and waiting.. and ...

Considering that icculus (Ryan C. Gordon, the guy who's doing the port) just recently got the Linux server demo beta out, the Linux client might be a little while coming along. You have to keep in mind it is essentially one guy doing the port...so cutting him some slack is probably a good idea (we may not even see a Linux demo of the game).

Without linux demo .... u must be joking ... No oficial information at this time and i hope that linux client realise faster than linux client of serios sam 2 (6 -8 months after game out)

As tyme said it's just one guy doing it. Cut him some slack, or maybe try writing it yourself instead of being so impatient!

I'd like to see that. Ever ported a game, Maznislav? Any idea how much coding it takes? Ever written any code? If not, you certainly aren't in a position to criticize icculus.

i love every work of icculus but i think ... EPIC its a huge company and i think that they have a linux coders but ... linux sill in maze in for all this big companies .. i'm realy sorry for that i ask any information here this will be for the last time

you're welcome to ask for information, but, i personally felt you were being overly critical and a bit mean towards icculus who works very hard to bring us linux games...

sorry but ... linux version of UT3 maybe not on this year

While hanging out on IRC, I asked the big question of the day, "Has anyone heard from Icculus on the UT3 server or client?" Here's the dialog that resulted from the question:

<icculus> it's stuck in legal
<augustus> Legal? Seriously? Have you had legal involved in previous games?
<icculus> Not like this, no
<icculus> There's some issues with middleware
<augustus> so is the hold-up indefinite?
<icculus> augustus: not indefinite
<icculus> augustus: the politics should be worked out for the server soon, I'm removing the offending piece of code.
<augustus> icculus: And the client?
<icculus> augustus: that's going to take somewhat longer
<augustus> icculus: From the sound of it, there is no ETA then?
<icculus> augustus: I'm not committing to one
<augustus> icculus: I understand. Seems like it's quite out of your hands.
<icculus> If I told you what the specific problem is, you wouldn't believe me
* icculus declines to say more.

And, while I had his attention, I had to ask: "Are you doing a Gears of War port?"
<icculus> augustus: for Mac OS X, yes.
<augustus> icculus: Linux no then?
<icculus> augustus: There's something about a Linux port that the Gears publisher doesn't like...can't quite put my finger on it...
<augustus> icculus: I was afraid of that.
<augustus> icculus: Funny that Mac isn't a competitor but Linux is.
<icculus> I don't speak for Microsoft, but I assume it's just company policy to not do anything Linux related.

:(

gotta love legal...

Yes, this makes my very disappointed, plus I have built a new PC for UT3, which I have yet to fire up, haven't even installed an OS on it yet, up until recently you couldn't get Linux drivers for the 2 8800GT's I have in it, nvidia released beta drivers with support for the 8800GT a couple of days ago, but I don't want to use beta drivers, windows has had support for the card practically since it's release. I'm getting that old 'Second Class Citizen' feeling again. I think I'll be installing XP PRO on my new PC tomorrow (then I'll go and get Crysis ), only thing with that is, once I start to use Photoshop, 3DSMAX, ProTools and BFD again, I'll probably just say 'eff that', and change my other 2 PC's back to XP PRO. Man I wish Linux had the level of support from Hardware/Software developers that Windows has, but, it hasn't. Tell you one thing though, if it did, you'd probably see Microsoft go out of business overnight.

If I wasn't a vegetarian, I think I'd just go and eat worms.

some fresh BAD NEWS

:( realy sorry for the BAD NEWS

some GOOD news guys ..

test it

Maybe some more BAD NEWS for you Linux people (glad I went back to Windows, although UT3 isn't that good :( . . )

Interviewer - What about Mac and Linux versions ?

Mark Rein - . . . and Linux, it's just kind of a pet project, so if it happens it happens.

Sounds a bit ominous to me, certainly a far cry from the way they led people to believe early on that it would be a certainty.

not sure it was necessary to post that in both threads, one would have been enough.

anyways, porting to linux is up to icculus. anything that doesn't come from his mouth isn't worth taking too seriously. he just put out the server for linux last thursday, so the client may be some time coming still.

Yeah, sorry about that, iirc, at the time, one of the posts, the first, wasn't turning up, at least it wasn't visible to me, so I did the second. Very sorry for the huge inconvenience it must have caused everyone.



Yeah, but I do think that Epic, and hence Mark Rein have a little to do with whether or not we actually get a Linux client, I mean, if they say it's not going to be released, it doesn't matter what icculus does or says or thinks, it won't be released. From what some Epic employees have said, all be it off the record, some of the legal, and other problems with it, may mean that we won't be seeing it, or if we do, there may be some stuff that will make for some unhappy little penguins. But yeah, your essentially right, icculus is in charge of the porting, however he can't do squat if Epic doesn't allow it. So I think you could take what Epic/Mark Rein says at least with a little seriousness

But anyway, in the end, it wouldn't be much of a loss if the Linux client didn't come to fruition, as the game really isn't that good, and there are not many people playing it online, so by the time the Linux client arrives, if it does, UT3 may well be already dead. Many would say it already is. The reason I came here today was to update the link to the video, as the other one is now dead it seems, so without further adoo,
