get a game! I was on the server from 8 until close to 8:15 but I
was itching to have a game so I jumped ship onto another server
with plenty of players. Pretty fun even though I spent most of my
time waiting to respawn :)<br>

Hey Guys,<br>
<br>
For whoever is interested let's jump on the PLUG UT server <b>tonight
from 8pm</b> to have a bit of a mess around.<br>
<br>
See the other thread about getting the client - make sure you
give yourself enough time cause it's a 1GB download!<br>
<br>
Also, i've found on Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64 that the binary runs
but can't find the game files which means it's pretty much
useless. However the i386 binary works properly so use that
instead.<br>

Well, I managed to get on an have a few games.... it was an
absolute kill-fest... for the other guys! I had loaded the game
onto my laptop running Ubuntu 11.04 (with default graphics
drivers). The graphics were very laggy, even at low resolutions,
but I persisted and managed (with great skill) to get killed a
record number of times.<br>
<br>
I later transferred the game to my Linux Mint (LMDE) partition, on
the same Laptop, and tried again. LMDE has proprietary nVidia
drivers loaded and it ran heaps better, even at higher res. I got
back on-line and played few games with my son after installing it on
his PC (seeing as all the PLUGGERS had abandoned the game by then)
and it was much more enjoyable.... Still got my bum kicked (by a
12yr old!)... but it was fun.<br>
<br>
I look forward to setting even greater records next time.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Peter<br>
