tyme Posted July 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 It's been confirmed for a very, very long time that there will be a Linux version. I believe it will be like UT2K3&4, included on the CDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a binary download (content from PC version). http://www.webdog.org/plans/6/ 93, -Sascha.rb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoho Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 I played myself on windows one of the levels, about 6 months ago (the game was still in dev, a friend of mine gave me this, I did not even know where he got this level !). It was very buggy and slow, but pictures were really beautiful and in every scene, there are lot of "environmental" effects (neon lights blinking, small sparks, etc...). Sometimes, you are interupted by a cinematic scene showing you another point of view of the scene (a monster dragging a body away...). Generally, it's really an oppressing atmosphere and I was so scared I turned off my speakers... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 I can't wait. Although I don't know how well my system will run it. Has there been any word on minimum system requirements? I'm surprised they didn't wait for christmas, but seen as they're so far over due... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 They updated their website recently, but it uses all kind of flash and quicktime stuff and nonsense so I didn't get very far with it. I wonder if there will be a mac version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily they're available on the 'net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 I'm pretty sure there will be a mac version. I've just read the .plan of the CEO of ID and he says there will be a mac version, but its not ready yet and they won't be releasing it until its as polished as the PC version. I may still have time to buy a dream machine!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, it's as good a reason as any to buy a dual-G5 I guess :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plati Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Someone mentioned there will be a linux version released soon after, does anyone know if this linux client will be coming with a windows client or not? Since Im yet to find out if windows or linux runs by graphics card better, Id rather not have to pay for two different versions and just buy one with both clients on it (ie. ut2004) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
