liamdawe: That was one person with an offer of five keys. It looks like Phoronix is handing out hundreds en masse, for those Linux folk who are interested:

I’m running in Ubuntu 9.04 and it runs great. I typically am the first one in the game so no problems on my end. I haven’t played the WC3 mod so I’m totally new. The game to me is very complicated even though I understand the basics. I have experienced that if you die a few times especially early on, then you will never be able to catch up both with money and levels.

I think this game is geared toward a very nitch market … very competitive players. If this game only has this style of pvp, then I’m not interested in buying it. If they have co-op against the computer, then it might be worth getting since the graphics are very nice.

To those who have problems, its still is beta. My amd64 6000, dual core is constantly in 1-3 place on loading times. I have 4 gig of ram however. If you have low ram and slow HDD(not my case) you will have slow loads.

If you want to be beta tester – let me know, i can try to send you invite.

Do not use pulse audio(on ubuntu by default), its sucks, instead, kill pulse audio all together and use native drivers, I use ALSA and live happy life.

Amount of problems pulse audio is causing – unbelievable.

I’ve tried it on 2 different Linux machines; a Fedora 9 w/ ATI and a Fedora 8 w/ Intel. Neither ran. I posted details on both instances to their forums, with no response :(

Well decided to search the forum:
1) Win7 had an issue with bad load times when vsync was enabled
2) There is sometimes a problem with PulseAudio.

I have problems with Jets n Guns lagging on startup, every time PulseAudio is using 100% CPU, a PulseAudio restart fixes it 1/3 of the time. I plan to check vsync and kill PulseAudio soon as I get time to test it. I would like to know if that helps you (and post under the Linux client on the forum if it does as well)
