ET:QW Linux Demo Coming TODAY

[joshuapurcell]

I'll post what I'm able to run the game at based on my hardware (in sig) once I get home this afternonn. I started the download last night but it didn't finish in time for me to mess with it.

Bah! Downloaded it, installed fine, but can't play due to useless 8.40 drivers on the 1950pro AGP trying to run the card as PCIE. Any chance this bug will be fixed in the 8.42 release?

You'll just need to wait and find out, but I think most everyone should be pleased with 8.42.

I tried it, seems like a good and polished game. However, the game autodetected that I should use 640x480 at Low settings on my ATI Radeon X1250. I changed it to 800x600 at Medium, and performance was very bad.
I'm DLing the Windows demo as we speak, to see if it gets any better results on Vista.

Howdy, I can`t seem to unlock fps with the following cvars

seta com_unlock_maxFPS "60"
seta com_unlock_timingMethod "1"
seta com_unlockFPS "1"

its always stuck on 30fps , anybody else managed to run the game at more than 30fp ? thanks

edit: unlock seems only to work when playing on a server, not as single player against computer bots.

Just played it. It's nice, but imho not spectacular...

I didn't have any sound and graphics were kept very low ( can't use my X1950pro AGP yet )
The resolution was 640x480 because any higher reso resulted in a small window with a lot of mess around it.

Those screenshots are from the ATI card, right?
They look like Delta Force 2 graphics material to me

I assume that's where it will be when it gets released... we'll see.

Better watch this place to be downloading when others are still waiting:
