  • Return to Castle Wolfenstein on G400MAX/Linux

    I have Quake3 working fine, stable as anything. But RTCW only plays sometimes... Mostly it locks up either at the start or halfway through the game.

    I tried it with XF86 4.1 (built here) and XF86 4.1 (debian packages). But no luck with either.

    So the question is: Has anyone got this to work properly on G400MAX?

    Just another data point: the same thing happens to me.

    RtCW runs fine on Win2K (Linux/Win2K dual boot box). On Linux, though, it locks up my box shortly after I start playing it. When I say "locks up" I mean the user interface. I can't shut down RtCW or XFree86 from the console, but I can telnet into the system and do a clean reboot from there. I note while telnet'ed into the box that RtCW is taking 100% of one CPU.

    My Hardware:
    --------------------
    CPU = Dual P3/850
    RAM = 512 PC100
    Vid = G400MAX

    My Software:
    -------------------
    RedHat Linux v7.2 /w v2.4.17 kernel
    XFree86 v4.1.0 / KDE v2.2.2
    Latest (Oct., 2001) MGA drivers
    RtCW version 1.1b

    I have no lockups with other 3D games, just with RtCW. Sigh.

        If you mean v4.2.0 then, yes, it is. I haven't tried it, though.
