More UT Issues
November 28th, 1999 by CrusaderEpic code Brandon Reinhart fired off another .plan update concerning the Linux Unreal Tournament client:
I’m working with DeWitt Clinton (who wrote the Linux UT installation instructions webpage) to test and fix issues with the port. One of the things we have found is that you need to have Joilet extensions compiled into your kernel in order to see the long filenames on the UT CD.Joilet extensions are enabled by default in most distributions, but if you have customized your kernel, you may not have them included.

He really is doing a good job it seems with the UT port. He is really listening to people and is responsive with any help he can give. Thanks for all your time and I can’t wait untill the next release of the Linux client. Hopefully the next release will mean that it will be able to use Mesa and that I’ll buy it :)

I agree he really is doing a good job. He was quick to respond to my e-mails. I figured it would take at least a day to get a response but it was a matter of minutes usually.
Hopefully the next release I will actually be able to play the game. I don’t use windoze so I can’t even play it in windoze. Although from what I’ve been seeing on the net the windows version is about as buggy.
