He'd like to chat with you a moment about Linux, specifically - how Linux and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars can work happily together, in the new client that is being developed for the game.
...and he can say his piece much more efficiently than I can - so I'll let him do the talking.
Hello everyone,So. Yes Linux version. Yes high quality. No timeframe. Eh - can't win 'em all, can you?
I don't want to commit to any schedule for the ETQW Linux client at this point. Most of my time is spent working on the game itself, on the Linux dedicated server and on the network infrastructure.
Once those things wind down (in the upcoming weeks) I will start working specifically on the client. But fear not, ATI and NVidia have expressed interest in getting a Linux client early, so they can review how it performs and get their drivers adjusted. When we release, we'll release a high quality product, just like we do on Windows.
In any case, don't expect to find Linux binaries on the retail DVD. It's hard enough for everyone to get gold masters done, there are enough things to check and worry about, I will not place additional strain on the procedure by trying to squeeze my additional set of files on there.
