i cant understand the ppl complaining about Ankh 1.
There was a bug in version 1, but 1 month after arrival (i pre-ordered and it came in before press noticed:-) there was a patch and since then everything worked fine.

(I remember, I had to manually unzip a file from the CD, but the rest went smooth.=)

So is the second part mostly the same with another story or is it something else?
I liked the gameplay and especially the voice of ???-Speaker Justus Jonas:-)))

For the first game I see there is a Mac demo, is there a Linux one some place? Screen shots look good, but I am not sure if I will actually enjoy playing it.

For those having little glitches with Ankh 1, did you try the following Patch ? :

And as for the 1 FPS and those who don’t want to updata Ankh, please try this :
cd ~/Ankh
find bin/release -name ankh -o -name “*so*” | xargs -l1 chrpath -d

And RuneSoft supports their games :

Well, I would buy the second one, if only the first one would run. I’ve tried it on 3 different systems, with 3 different graphics cards and 4 different Linux versions, and it just works horribly slow (< 1 fps). Support is inexistent, so I think I’ll try the demo first this time.

I played the first Linux-Ankh a month ago and it was fun. It reminded me of playing “Monkey Island” many years ago :-)

But there were some drawbacks :-(
I had a few minor graphic errors (moving sand in the desert) with both a nvidia and an ati card (7600GT and HD2600XT with the latest binary drivers). Really annoying was the way savegames worked. They could not be overwritten and were unsorted – so you have to remember how the in-game location looked like when you saved your game. More than once I had to load several savegames to find my last one.
These bugs where never fixed. So I do not expect the new Ankh to be bug-free.

But as it was fun – I think I will preorder it :-)

Was the first one worth the money?

Yes, it states that pre-orders will be taken until end of Octobre.
