Yeah, the game also runs slower than under Windows - I've got a Windows box wth an Athlon 1800 XP and a Geforce 2 MX, and it performs considerably better. I expected this after reading the bit about the game being designed for D3D, and the OpenGL renderer being unsupported ( under Windows ). Unfortunate, but I suppose they have their reasons. Maybe ( hopefully ) performance will improve. Anyway, it's certainly not slow as hell. It's respectable - just not silky smooth. It's certainly better than nothing :) If enough people use the Linux client, maybe for UT2005 they will say that the D3D renderer is unsupported and only included in case your OpenGL drivers suck!
Just downloaded the UT2004 demo, and tried it out under XFree86-4.3.99.902.
I'm pleasantly surprised.
It runs quite nicely,
What about speed? On my R200 (Athlon 1800 XP, low settings) it is slow like
hell. What is your hardware and settings?
I've got an Athlon 2100 XP, a Radeon 64MB DDR ( R100 ), and XFree86-4.3.99.902:
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Radeon 20030328 AGP 4x x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSETCL
OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 5.0.2
My game settings are whatever the defaults are. I can't read any of the menus, so I haven't bothered screwing with anything ( apart from invert mouse ... I made a point of finding that ).
Maybe you should try a snapshot of the new XFree86?
