I'd just like to mention that the Linux Unreal Tournament binaries work
flawlessly under FreeBSD's Linux "emulation". This is *great* news
because we now have both Q3A and UT -- this year's two hottest FPS
releases -- completely playable under FreeBSD.
Three cheers for the FreeBSD team! :-)
Relevant hardware configuration:
Intel PII Celeron @ 464MHz
128MB RAM
3DFX Voodoo II (SLI)
Creative AWE64 PnP
Relevant software installed:
FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #6: Wed Nov 24 02:16:41 EST 1999
linux_base-5.2
XFree86-3.3.5
Glide_V2-2.53-1.i386.glibc.rpm
UTDemo-Linux-x86-348.tar.gz
Issues:
When using the newpcm sound driver, audio seems to be lagged behind the
game by about 250-500ms. This is similiar to the audio lag when playing
Q3A (but without the weird "flanger/phaser" sound artifacts).
UT seems to ignore MESA/3DFX environment variables when executing. If
you want to disable v-sync or increase your refresh rate, for instance,
you'll have to manually edit the ${UTBASE}/System/UnrealTournament.ini
file.
There's also a ${UTBASE}/README.Linux file that explains a few general
issues with the Linux port of UT.
Happy fragging ;-)
