Hi there (Nexuiz is great!)

Postby KungFoo » Wed Feb 21, 2007 11:32 am

I have tryied to play Nexuiz since it got in Debian Etch, (I'm a Debian user), but the specs of my PC couldn't play the game at more than 4 or 5 FPS :(. Recently a friend of mine got a new computer (AMD64 Dual Core, and a GeForce 6100 Motherboard), so I've played Nexuiz, and my impressions were great(graphics, gameplay, etc.etc.). Now I'm going to buy a new PC to play Nexuiz (among other things, like having Compiz, and faster compilation of programs xD).

About me : As I said I'm a Debian GNU/Linux user from Argentina, and I'm learning to program in Gtk+ and Gtkmm, actually working at a massive GNU/Linux migration at my university, currently I have no Internet connection at home , but I hope this situation change soon, :), So I'm going to be bothering you in this forum about gameplay and stuff.

Congratulations to the developers of this great project! and Thanks for making Free Software.
:D

Sorry for my crappy english :P.

Welcome and thanks for the kind words :)

Actually I'm surprised to hear that a GeForce 6100 mainboard gave nice enough framerates... good to know. I guess you were playing at rather low settings?

No, actually it had pretty cool graphics but with low resolution (640x480 or 800x600 I think), and without realtime shadows (that made it really slow), but with almost everything else at the highest level of detail. If I got my new computer tomorrow I'll try to upload some screenshots :D.

Sure! I think everyone at our LUG have seen Nexuiz and everyone likes it ( so probably we are going to do more LAN Parties than we used to :P ).

Nice to have you here, welcome to the community.

If you find something in the game weird or simply don't know something, you can find some info here (after the FPS rookie part there is also Nexuiz-specific information), but don't hesitate to ask. ;)

And also good luck with the migration at your university. What hardware will your new PC have?

See you in the game :).

Micro: AMD 64 Dual Core 3600 ( 2.0Ghz I think)
RAM: 512 DDR2
Motherboard: GeForce 6100
Disk: 80Gb IDE don't know if SATA2 works well in Debian with that chipset.

for now, I will upgrade it gradually :D.
