Entropy Report post Posted February 20, 2008 Is anyone testing the Linux version? I can compile from CVS and have a go, if needed. Rehdon There are some people testing the Linux version, but since most of the developers use Linux, most of the Linux specific bugs are long fixed already.

RogerDeLluria Report post Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) Follow the instructions from here: http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=40681 Umm .... really? Acording to those instructions it generates new executables (the previous RC indeed did so) leaving the original el.exe. However RC2 overwirtes el.exe Better to warn about this. If it crashes for some ppl they will need to reinstall the last el patch. Other than that it seems to be working fine for me although I haven't tested in depth. EDIT: lol, as i was writing this ent edited the original post reporting this same issue, thanks ent. Edited February 20, 2008 by RogerDeLluria Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderCloud Report post Posted February 20, 2008 I tried all the clients, worked fine for me after I updated my driver, no crash at all so far. I didnt find anyone posting this kinda a probs so I am posting this. There r few things I found, dont know if its a major probs, but have a look. 1. At almost every map I went, I found that the distant sky that I am able to see through the mountains and the end of map, seems to flicker (like changing from Grey to Black and viceversa, that is happening very rapidly). Flickering Sky 1 Flickering Sky 2 2. When I am walking, my char seem to be shakey (not smooth as before). But while when I am standing I found that others walking around me r just fine. Except this 2 everything is just fine so far. Water is excellent.
