ET:QuakeWars - Linux Client is now available

Permalink 20/Oct/2007 20:29 , Categories: Linux, Games

In case you missed the official announcement, ETQW Linux Client is now available to download. You do need the full retail DVD to complete the installation though. The client itself is really small at 18MB, so need to work out if they actually preloaded some OS compatilibty stuff on the DVD pre-release.

Another issue, it only runs in 32bit mode, so if you have a x86_64 install - you will need the compat libs along with their deps. My main gaming machine is i686, but my primary laptop is x86_64 ( the Acer Ferrari 4005 ) and I will at some point install the game there as well. So a list of rpms required on centos-5 to make it work will get posted here soon'ish :)

Based in the UK and looking for the retail DVD for ETQW ? Amazon.co.uk have a decent deal going.

Anyway, my download is done, need to install and trial the game now. But first, rugby. Gota get my beer, and gota get in front of a big TV!

So, I did get around to finally installing ETQW on my laptop today evening, and its working fine - the resolution is ok - its able to 1680x1050 at 30 - 35 fps, which is really all you need. However there is one totally freaked out issue - I cant see any of the friendlies.

Not the bots, not the vehicles and not even mines - unless I walk right upto them, and am less than 1 foot ( game distance ) away from them. Looking around and googling for this issue seems to turn up nothing at all. I wonder whats going on!
