6588 unreal tournament 2003 games -1 Excellent I am a hardcore UT addict. This is the same awesome game-play but with the best graphics to date. I'm sure the original UT will be on my hard-drive for a long time to come, but it may not see too much playtime with this version around. <P> Excellent work, Epic - and thanks for remembering your Linux lovin' brotha's. 2002-09-15 16:39:41 0

OpenGL renderer relies on DXTC/S3TC support. </pre> Does anybody have the same error? I've a TNT graphics card.</i> <p> Short answer: you won't be able to play this game with your TNT card. <p> Longer answer: Your TNT card doesn't have the horsepower (nor probably the right features) to run UT2003. As of right now, the game only runs on nVidia GeForce[1-4] and ATI Radeon 8500 based cards with vendor-supplied proprietary drivers. The reason for this is that UT2003 uses an OpenGL texture compression extention that is patented (boo!), so implementors of the extension have to pay a licensing fee to use it. The message about "DXTC/S3TC" is referring to this extension. But your real problem is outdated hardware, not drivers. <p> For more graphics card info, check out the README.linux that came with the game, and Matt Matthews' <a href="http://www.linuxgames.com/articles/ut2003/">UT2003 overview</a> at linuxgames.com. <p> For the record, the other message you see, about "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD", refers to a mode switching extension used by Xi Graphics X servers. It just means you're not running a XiG server and can be ignored. 2002-09-16 06:57:14 6590
