Title: What OS do you play Tremulous on?
Post by: ==Troy== on May 12, 2010, 12:43:48 am
As thread suggests, what OS are you playing Trem on, I have been quite curious to collect this statistics across several communities.


Hmm, if the poll is broken in the main theme then please remove this thread. (I use SMF default)


Edit : Please refrain from starting flamewars. Noone cares about your opinion about the system, just vote, if you like self-expression, post it, but stop trying to attack other OSes / users.

Switched to win xp recently. Gotta say that on my crappy harware, trem ran a little better under Ubuntu b4 I switched, but that's not nearly enough to keep one there.

i wasn't implying that it was a bad os. i was implying that ive had more than my share of troubles on it.
and for the record Xp is my favourite of the windows os's.
and thats coming from a primarily linux user if it works only on windows or runs better natively ill use windows (ie 3ds max,photoshop(just because its easier to install) ).

Well if you think the ailens can read human data, then it might be a good idea if you're being overrun. Although for completeness' sake, in that case I'd suggest

dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda

obviously, this command results in severe data loss when run, do not try this at home.

The only reason I'd really get a mac is for the video and audio editing. They're just too pricey for me. For the same amount of money as the bare-bones macbook I can get a decked out core i5 or core i7 Win7 laptop.
Title: Re: What OS do you play Tremulous on?
Post by: David on June 19, 2010, 03:14:00 pm
No benefit for video editing nowadays.
As far as I can see the only reason "artsy" people still use macs is inertia and because they are too thick to use a real computer.

Right now I play trem on XP but Im trying to get Linux set up. More specifically , Fedora Core 11 since I already had it.
Speaking of which, I am able to run trem in linux but I get much lower fps than I should. In XP i get about 250 where in FC I get about 40-50. Anyway I determined that the problem is my openGL driver. I have my graphics card driver installed correctly and apprently some version of opengl was installed with it. I am able to run glxgears in the terminal and what not, but I guess the driver isnt supported by trem or something. Im pretty sure that the highest version of opengl that my card supports is 3.2 and I can't seem to find older versions of it anywhere, just 4.0. Anyone happen to have any ideas?

2. type: lspci

A GeForce 6200 will only support OpenGL 2.1 at best, OpenGL 3.x is only available in the 8xxx and newer cards. The driver will detect that automatically, so you should install the newest drivers available from NVidia.com.

Run glxinfo and check that the 3rd line is
Code: [Select]
direct rendering: Yes
If this is "No" you have software rendering. Also check that the OpenGL vendor is NVidia. Possibly the nouveau drivers are still active and they are slow and buggy (whereas the NVidia drivers are fast and buggy).
Title: Re: What OS do you play Tremulous on?
Post by: Jack Bauer on June 26, 2010, 09:58:14 pm
It says yes. I already installed the driver from nvidia (last week so its up to date)
I noticed when I got to options in trem, where it says opengl driver, its blank. I also can't change it.

I've installed (and played) Tremulous on Windows XP, Windows 7 (which I'm on now), several different Linux distros (including Debian, Slackware, openSUSE, and Ubuntu), and OS X. Any difference in the playing experience is in your head. Now, what prizes do I get? :D

PS: As a Linux user, Windows 7 isn't as bad as everyone says.
