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)

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.

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.

 

:(

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.
