I've tried Nexuiz and it looks like it's one of the best, if not even
the best free FPS's for GNU/Linux around. However, I have a weird issue
with it.
The first time I ran it worked fine and FPS was great on 800x600
resolution (which is good for me), with default effects and other
settings. It looked good. However, second time it didn't work properly.
The reason is unknown, which is why I'm posting this..
The game starts, but when I try to actually go playing (load a map) it
starts loading and then crashes with the following terminal output:

Killed
Note that this is the output from when I start nexuiz from the terminal
to the point when it crashes (when I try to load the map). The last
parts are probably most relevant.
What I find weird about this is that the first time this happened I removed the .nexuiz folder in my home directory (hence pretty much resetting everything, and it worked again.
Why is that I have no idea. It is weird because all that the .nexuiz
folder really contains is a simple preferences file (config.cfg).
However, this time I tried even that and it didn't even want to enter the game, let alone let me start a map. So right now it looks like it just randomly chooses when to crash, confusing the hell out of me.
What gives?
