workin fine for me...

been playing nonstop for about 4 days. just seeing that most the posts were about peeps having problems with the game. so i thought id throw in a post from the other side.

3.2.3 works fine for me. the few (very rare) gameplay issues could easily be atributted to lag, just slight jumpiness for a few seconds, and i dont think its happened more than twice.

running XFree86 4.3.0 (dropline gnome wm) on slackware 9.0 (kernel 2.4.20). xp1800, gf3 ti200, 512MB pc2100. runs hella smoove, even when im running tons of proccesses in the background (bastard gnome).

in summary, kickass work guild. keep up the good work, im lookin forward to the final product.

thanks.

Agreed! I only suffer connection issues at certain times of the day these are between 12:00pm & 6:00pm BST. Most of the bugs in linux are mainly opengl related issues. It's been said countless times that linux's opengl drivers have problems, but nothing has made this game crash (I have expirienced the afore mentioned sound issues but i know these are known to the devs). At some point i'll try the "leaving the game running over a period of days" test to see how that fares up.

I too am awaiting the final game, been playing for about a week now and it's got so many great things going for it. The best bits of Elite, Frontier & quake all wrapped up and boxed :)
