I agree. I played alot of games under windblows and especially UT. Certain aspect of the visuals in windblows appeared to be smooth, but in Linux the graphics are cleaners and blend better. There are more "tweak" programs for the nvidia card under windblows that has helped me compensate. But, natively I get better performance and quality under Linux as well. I only wish I could tweak my network settings more. I have only been able to change the MTU for ifconfig and that's set at 1500. Do you know of any tweaks or info/HOWTO's for optimizing network params? TIA. Curtis Rey (aka Crusher-1 :) On Friday 25 May 2001 09:14 am, Steven Hatfield wrote:

Intend to get:
NeverWinter nights Anarchy-online, if they release a Linux version ShadowBane for the same reasons above. Kohan Rune
And whatever lse may come along that is interesting.

I play Tribes2, Q3A and UT all the time... I was a Tribes2 beta tester on Linux, and found out something interesting during that time.
It appears that Tribes2 runs better on Linux than it does on Windows, due to superior texture handling efficiencies in Linux that aren't as effecient in Windows.
AFAICT, all 3 of these games run better under Linux than they do in Windows, and I've played both Q3A and UT in Windows a LOT. I have no reason to buy Tribes2 for Windows, as it runs very very very well under Linux.
Take care, Steven
