javaguy Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 It's out, and I love it. I suspect I'll waste as many hours of my life on this as I did on the original ET. The Linux client is not out yet but will be available as a download soon. For now it works just fine under wine. Instructions to make it work. Note: Make sure you're running the correct version of wine! I installed the correct version and followed all the instructions correctly, but when I went to start the game I type typed wine blahblahblah..., and it used the version it found in /usr/bin/somethingsomething, which didn't work. Once I explicitly specified the path to my wine it worked just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibi1981 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I'm also impatiently waiting for Linux installer :) Hope it'll be out soon, and at the moment I make use of my Windows XP ;) on which unfortunately the game crashes in random moments. Today I had 5 crashes in about 2 hours of playing Hope it won't be a problem on Mandriva 2008.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 It's available, I just announced it on my site; http://gaming.gwos.org/doku.php (including download link etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javaguy Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Looks like it's just the demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 yeah forgot to mention it above. But it is something. Works good, though it need some optimization. I also got report from other linux gamers that ATI x1600 doesn't work (yet) with ETQW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javaguy Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Having now played this game for many hours, I now find it even more absorbing than I did at first. This is one of the best games ever, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibi1981 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Totally agree, QW rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zibi1981 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Unfortunately after applying the new patch (ver. 1.4) I'm not able to run the game at all :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 more people have reported this. I hadn't the time to test the new patch though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javaguy Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Did you patch it to 1.4 or install the 1.4 client from scratch? When I installed Mandi 2008 I wiped my installation, so last night I downloaded and installed the full 1.4 client. Everything runs smoothly. Even the VOIP works for me now. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibi1981 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Did you patch it to 1.4 or install the 1.4 client from scratch? The second option. The only thing I didn't remove before installing 1.4 was ~/.etqwcl/ folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I just deleted v.1.2 and made a full unstall with v.1.4. It works great. Alot of cool features and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Goner Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I've got only one problem ; after playing a couple of maps, the fps drops from around 50 to <20 (sometimes) :huh: Mandriva 2008.0, Nvidia 169.09 drivers and XFX 8600GT ...
