Linux question


(igjurisk) #1

When i connect any 2.55 server after few mins i get kicked by PB REASON : PB Client Not Responding. I have updated PB but still it kicks me.
I have 2.60b installed too on my system and 2.60b is playble(no kicks).
2.55 is important to me becouse all my friends are playing on it

System : Vector Linux 5.8 SOHO, Kernel 2.6.20.3(i think this kernel but im not 100% sure)
AMD sempron 1.67
MEM : 512
GeForce FX 5500

Tell your friends to upgrade from their unsecure and buggy version of ET. :slight_smile:

I already said that we play on 2.55. we have 4 servers there and usuall guests that play there transfering to 2.60b would be a real mess and we wouldnt have any players on server(i think so).

That means that there is now way to run 2.55 on linux with PB enabled servers?


(Rudi) #4

I haven’t tried, I never play unsecure software!!!

But I’m sure somebody else will be able to help.


(igjurisk) #5

Anyone able to help me with this problem?!?!?!
Otherwise i will have to transfer to Windows and Win sux to me.

well if you upgrade to 2.60b and all your 4 server, then that are 4 servers less running 2.55,
If everybody did that then 2.55 would be eliminated… and everybody would have to get the 2.60b patch if they want to play anywhere

The PB problem has nothing to do with the game version.

You should post a ticket on evenbalance’s site, not here.

jaybird PB have problem with 2.55 ver of game. Try installing ET 2.55
on Linux and ull see that u get kicked. I did PB update but it still kicks
and that same update for 2.55 i have for 2.60b and it dont kicks me.
What do u have to say to that?
And im not asking does ver fo game have problem.
FOR THIRD TIME : IM ASKING CAN THAT BE FIXED?


(Rudi) #9

Yes, use 2.60b.


(murka) #10

get ur friends to 2.60b, solved. playing on unsecure and b0rked version… any good reason for it?


(kamikazee) #11

The “guests” on the 2.55 servers.

You could try to ask them to upgrade as well?


(Sauron|EFG) #12

Did you post a trouble ticket or not??? If Evenbalance says that 2.55 doesn’t work in Linux then how are we supposed to fix it?


(cheesecake) #13

if you HAVE to play 2.55 you could run the windows version in wine.


(igjurisk) #14

dont understand that IN WINE

I tried with “wine” but everytime when i try to start game i gets me back to desktop.(i tried opening game trough console and trough Start menu)
And i had problem when starting game some OpenGL problem Cant find DEFAULT.CFG. but game was searching for that file in wrong folder so i copied my ETMAIN folder(in it is default.cfg) to dir were game was searching.
Then i fixed my OpenGL problem and after that im geting back to Desktop after starting game.

Do u think will VMWARE help to solve this problem.(i will try to make Virtual drive with Win XP on it). I think its name is Virtual Drive-not sure for that.

When I had default.cfg missing I didn’t somehow have pak0.pk3. :lol: It got me nuts until I noticed it missing. Then I copied it there and it worked again. :evil:
