tests good here on i386-current :) a few tips for running: Sebastian, i notice the same crash here when no aucat is running. if aucat is running, sound can't bind, and therefore doesn't crash the game ;) Jolan i can't believe you ported this so fast. awesome :D runs waay better than using linux emul, i'm now running at 1400x1050 native sxga res for my thinkpad t41p sporting a firegl t2. i can average 35-45 fps pretty easy. this info here is to -everyone- playing games on openbsd. as of now while our dri capabilities are getting quite excellent, there are still going to be some functions of our graphics adapters (shaders etc) that don't get covered by free dri drivers for x. as a result and playing with many many options in the Urban Terror mod as i was sick of getting mostly good fps with sudden drops down to <10fps in the heat of a shootout, i found above all disabling dynamic lights stabilized the fps. disabling dynamic lights in rtcw did just that, so Jolan try :D i'm looking forward to see what sanitizing efforts the icculus.org crew will no-doubt put on this, and down the road porting and having iortcw (or whatever) will be best but this is an insanely awesome and fast jump on a new source release. many many thanks! -ryan
