hi i have solved creating the timidity.cfg in /etc now the game runs ! the only problem is i can't hear music (i have timidity++, sound is ok instead), maybe i have to configure something ? sometimes the game freezes and audio disappears too (i think the freezes are related to audio problems)


thanks in advance

Edit By Me: i have solved the music problem, i have installed the eawpats for timidity

and now the music works too

A lot of high-end games usually do have troubles on Linux. I remember Postal 2, where the screen would fade to black from time to time, and it usually freezes if you do too much, like scare a whole area full of people, make a lot of cars go boom, etc... However, seeing Duke 3D Polymer freeze and crash on Linux, boy... Wonder if there may be a kernel update for that one.

I have not had any problem with any high-end games for quite some time (HoN, ET:QW, Prey, Penumbra, Savage 2) and I didn't have any crashes/freezes with eduke32 till about a month ago.
Also this is not a linux specific problem

Thanks a lot for the fix.

Fixed both grame crash on "Initializing Music..." and the music problem.

Runnin Eduke32 2 20091106 on Vector Linux Light 6.0.

PII 366 MHZ
256MB RAM

And things run okay on that? That's way, way below the targeted system specs for EDuke32. I know I've heard of people running EDuke32 on various handheld gaming consoles and whatnot, but I think even a lot of those have specs now that exceed what you're running.

Yep, works with no problems(800x600 resolution, software rendering method)

I used to play duke nukem on DOS back in the day, so I am not surprised it runs on P2.

Holy hell man, sorry. Lol, I am no longer running Linux. I have gone back to me XP hometown This post is a year old! You bumped a dead thread mon!
