Re: The Middle Way - Faerun EA [Running]
Haha, that explains the message. Sorry about your computer dilemma. If I knew anything about linux I would gladly help. Goodluck getting it fixed, the longer timers between turns should help you resolve the problem before it damages your position.

Re: The Middle Way - Faerun EA [Running]
I'm running linux, Fedora 6 in fact, and it runs smooth. My machine is a 1.733 AthlonXP with 1024 RAM and a 128MB nVidia Geforce 6800 with the 1.0-9755 drivers. I'm using normal battle graphics.
If you are using a nVidia or Ati card download the appropriate drivers from their sites. The X11 native ones suck at advanced 3D graphics at the moment.

Re: The Middle Way - Faerun EA [Running]
Afraid that I cant help. For all my talk of linux, I dont run it in gui mode at all. Only text mode for hosting.
If you get really stuck then you can email Johan. He totally seems to live in linux gui mode (which I sometimes find irritating). And BTW does all the programming of the Dominions game in it also so Im sure that Dominions is meant to be able to run happy that way.

Re: The Middle Way - Faerun EA [Running]

Seems like your position is in good shape, I don't think we'll have difficulty finding a replacement. Thanks for not disappearing on us!
Edit:
And I don't mean that last statement to sound in the least way sarcastic - you are doing this position hand off in a considerate fashion, so again, thanks.

Re: The Middle Way - Faerun EA [Running]
Hi, thanks to all those who offered help with my linux woes. After a very long and confusing evening, I've managed to install the proper nVidia drivers - and it's incredibly fast! So I think that was worth doing anyway. Thanks for the hint Dedas, and thanks again to everyone else!

Re: The Middle Way - Faerun EA [Running]
In general Linux is able to do amazingly more with amazingly less resources than Windows. Some old throwaway computer in the closet can actually be the ISP for a small town. I know. Ive done it.
