I recently built my PC, apologies to anyone who was waiting for a guide, I couldn’t wait to get stuck in and I only had a couple of hours due to going out the evening. I still need to tidy up the cables etc inside, never the less, its up and working with no problems at installation.
Anyway, thats not why I’m posting this, I’m posting this to announce I’m playing this game, and not in Windows, in Linux.
I bought this game assuming that I’d have to play it in my Windows XP installation, after a curious google search I found that there was a Linux client available, what the heck I thought, considering the previous Doom 3 client I’d tried worked pretty well.
So, I downloaded the Linux client from their website and ran the installer, a few minutes later I was up and running. Graphics onto full, didn’t notice any real slow down of the game. I did find that it wouldn’t work online for some strange reason, but as it was a new game I was playing against the computer to practise anyway.
The latest update has resolved the playing online issue, anyway. Game play is great, I’m not great at the moment, still learning the ropes but so far so good.
Nice move Splash Damage, thanks for supporting other then Windows Users :)
