Linux: Enemy Territory LAG FREE! enjoy.

[Pro*tOrMeNtIuM]

hi, I am Glad to post my tuto for running ET in Linux, took me like 3 hours to do this , and i done it for perfect nubs when it comes about linux, so is yes baby steps for instaling linux and et on it. comments are apreciated ! , give a try u will see the LAG will dissapear (fps lag = gone.) I know there was another tutorial in this forum made by wonder, altought i gave it a look and some links are broken and it isnt that much friendly for non-linux-users as this one, this is more long....and baby steps , hope u like it.

Thanks! Although I am not brave enough to tackle these things any more (no time), I'm sure others will appreciate it.

I used Wonder tutorial to install ET on Linux: http://fearless-assassins.com/tutorials/article/59-wet-full-linux-installation-how-to/

 

I play ET on Vista and sometimes on Ubuntu both works fine without lag!

 

Installing ET on Linux doesn't mean you won't have lag issues, i suggest you try to understand why you have lag first.

As i said in first topic i kno about that tuto was is very outdated 2 broken links and it wont explain much from the video drivers., plus i wanted my own. lol

 

internet lag issues wont be fixed by linux, but FPS drop lag issues will indeed improve A LOT or dissapear at all., i hace currently 2 pcs, one dual core , nvida gt 7500 and 1gb ram, = stedy 125 fps with ubuntu 9.04 , ubuntuy 10.04 and Gentoo, on windows 7 i will get drops from 125 to 70 wheen running fast or shooting 1 or 2 enemies in my screen. both on jaymod fa1| AND etpro servers. with 250 ping.

i also run core i5 , ati 5770 vapor, 4gb ram = stedy 125 fps with ubuntu 9.04, ubuntu 10-.04 , Gentoo , but with win even when that hardware is very decent , i get 5 fps drops from 125 to 120 while shooting enemies, so i believe the OS does indeed eliminate ur lag(FPS lag). ofc this i talk is based on my experience, hellreturn might have other issues in his tutorial and is also valid., i am just trying to make ppl try something totally harmless for ur pc to try something new and see results.

Before i did this tuto yesterday , i was testing all operating systems + ET i was able to to see what was fastest on my rig.

My results were (in order from faster to slower , meaning more fps stability on first and worse on last) --> this with both my computers:

 

1) Gentoo (fastest , but its a real real real pain in the ass to install )

2) Ubuntu 9.04

3) Ubuntu 10.04 ( i did tuto with this and not 9.04 cuz it was simpler to install video drivers, but i might edit the tuto for 9.04 tomorrow i think.)

4)Windows xp

5) Windows 7

6) Windows 98

 

cya !

Set point doesn't work with Ubuntu. Logitech needs to release Linux drivers. I can't shoot with Ubuntu built in mouse acceleration. God it's awfully crap.

[Desu]

i play on ubu 10.04

even on my shit comp, i still get stable 76 and no pb lag at all....

hell Wonder did it for me and i dont even have PB installed....pb fails on linux

nice job esco, nice tutorial indeed

still, i need to figure out why cfg aint working. its in right folder, yet it doesnt work

sucks playing with default graphic, too dark.

There is actually a tutorial to make everything work properly with logitech mouses, i know this cuz i am usiing right now a Logitech mx518 , , if u tell me what specific problem u have , or what specific thing from setpoint u need to change, i will make u a little short tuto to do it, i have set my mouse exactly as i had it on windows without setpoint, ur right about one thing yeh i couldnt run and i tried to run setpoint but couldnt, but u can make all buttons work, remove accelaration and everything with correct guidance. = me

try my cfg (also posted here in FA forums) it should work for u perfect for linux , edited it my self so it isnt dark or anything, give it a try and let me kno if need help.

[Pro*tOrMeNtIuM]

Some editing to the tutorial is coming soon cuz aparently TASHA had a lot of problems following it , altought i managed to help her out to install ubuntu and the game,. it wont run cuz we still havent found the driver for her old video card haha, so am looking into that right now.

am gonna aDD alternative methods to install ubuntu 10.04 with cd, and usb and also alternative method to install the video drivers.

Just in case : Your autoexec.cfg file needs to go into: /home/YOURUSERNAME/.etwolf/etmain
