I don't know how it works with a V3. On my machine, it's slower than in Win98. A quick comparison some while ago showed that in FBSD I had 18-19 FPS, in Win98 24-25. I tried to have everything (level, nr of bots, skill level of bots) the same but I might have overlooked things. Also, I should try running UT in twm instead of Windowmaker, with some dockapps that might consume CPU cycles. However, I doubt that I ever could reach the performance of Win98; The 24-25 was on the last few days of my Windows installation, being very crippled like is usual when you don't reinstall every three months. I remember that I usually had 29-30 on the same machine when the installation was a bit younger.

It must be very userfriendly and plug'n'play and such *grin*. I extracted the binaries in a separate directory and brandelf'ed the one that the setup program was complaining about, in some obscure subdirectory. Than run it manually, it says: ----====== Unreal Tournament for Linux installation program ======---- You are running a x86 machine with glibc-2.1 Hit Control-C anytime to cancel this installation program. Please mount the ut CDROM. Choose Yes to retry, No to cancel [N/y] ...and I'm stuck. I mounted the UT-CD on /cdrom, /mnt/cdrom and even run the program in a chroot'ed linux bash shell with the contents of the cd copied in /cdrom but it keeps complaining that it wants the cdrom mounted. > will be a largish tar file as it'll probably modifiy those 40MB files a > little.
