Running Nexuiz from a USB Stick.

[Saxcrazedmaniac]

Hi, due to lack of space on my EeePc 701 4G, I've tried to install Nexuiz onto a USB Stick. It unzips fine, but, when I try to run both forms of the Linux Executable files, the cursor is slow and laggy, and, when I try to enter the campaign, the laptop just freezes. I haven't played Nexuiz in a while, because I changed my OS which took up more space, but I saw on the internet that it is possible to run Nexuiz from a USB Stick, this is obviously not true, at least, not for me.
Any Ideas?

Thanks.

Have you tried Damn Small Nexuiz?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dsn/

I don't want to use DSN, it's rubbish and it's not based on Version 2.5.2, the hadrware can run Nexuiz, as I played it on my old OS, the USB Stick has ample memory anyway (8 Gigs).

Hi,

it should not matter what medium you run nexuiz from. The only thing that changes are the load times, if it's a slow medium as a USB stick. Try copying the stuff over to your HD and i'm pretty sure it will still be slow. I suspect a driver problem for your graphics hardware..

Okay, but is there any way I can find the problem and correct it? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Oh my heart! Ripped into a thousand pieces!

EDIT:

Seriously though, why is it rubbish? If it's rubbish because it is aesthetically ugly to you, ok. But from a steamlining standpoint, it's beautiful indeed, IMHO. An 800mb game reduced to 40mb! And as for you stating "it's not based on 2.5.2."----hate to break it to you, but 2.5.2 isn't that much different that 2.5.1 (DSN's version). So DSN is still compatible with (AFAI) all the servers out there.

Update your drivers!

Okay, I see your point lol, but DSN just isn't for me, I love the graphics of normal Nexuiz, making the game much more enjoyable. I'm guessing you use DSN, loool...

From where? And by the way, this is not possible for me right now because my OS has pretty much just broken down, as in, installing .deb files does not work any more, I think it's due to the fact that one of my file dependencies has broken down, so Synaptic doesn't work. I'm waiting for Eeebuntu 4.0 to come out, because a complete re-installation is tedious.

Try this out

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance

Seems like there is a lot of issues with the latest Intel drivers
Reverting the driver may even help

Or just wait till EEEbuntu 4 comes out

Calling DSN rubbish was unnecessary . People have spent a lot of time to try a help out peeps with net books and low end hardware.
Please have consideration to those who donate their time to give us wonderful software.
