Title: Xubuntu 12.10 Report
Post by: Korumak on October 25, 2012, 05:23:32 am

This may help others:
Due to a botched upgrade I was forced to re-install.  (unity hates my system now)
I went with Xubuntu 12.10 64 bit and the XFCE DE.

sudo 'ed the install .bin
Install went as normal.
Added current user to the games group
Game made it to login and died after 90% loaded
Went to the usalsu suspects the two .bin files made them excicutable
Still failed to complete load and entered the world
Ran from terminal, saw some openal errors, went to Software center, installed openal-soft
(it puts it into Settings manager)
Went firther. (may not have worked)
Went into settings, dropped it to lowest.  It longed in and i made it.
Then gentualy bring the settings up one at a time. (genualy leave off the shaders, or set them at lowest)
Texture: Low
Shaders: Low
Particals: Medium

Advanced Colordepth 32 medum.

Also note for new installers, FLGLX drivers for onboard videocards, ATI has DROPPED support, so no more propiatry drivers, we are stuck with the Opensource drivers to play.

So you know it does work, just not that great.

Onboard video chipsets are never recommendable to play games with.

True, but sometimes that's all you got.

I just stick with Nvidia closed drivers. There is nothing that beats them on Linux at present.

They just won't work with anything but Nvidia chipsets, e.g. not for AMD/ATI video.

Indeed, that's why I stick with Nvidia GPUs as well :D
