Can anyone know how this game compares to "Hero Academy"?

I tried it (in the free month), but the quality was terrible, although it may be the specificity of my internet or dedicated data centers for my country (Poland).

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory Single-Player mod is out now

Quoting: rcritFWIW I got it to work natively:

- I rebuilt my local iortcw build circa 2017 with current master and copied the resulting bits to my rtcw directory.
- download the mod, WolfETSP.2.exe
- Install the mod into a fresh wine prefix. It doesn't require RTCW to be installed.
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/wolfrtcw_et_sp wine WolfETSP.2.exe
- Change directory into my RTCW install: cd /usr/local/games/rtcw
- Copy the plugin: rsync -avp $HOME/wolfrtcw_et_sp/drive_c/Program\ Files/Return\ to\ Castle\ Wolfenstein/ET .
- Launch: ./iowolfsp.x86_64 +set fs_game ET

I've only played about 10 minutes but I haven't noticed any issues.

edit: and in the 11th minute I got a core dump :cry:
As I understand Liam way is also native. Luxtorpeda [External Link] just download and run native binary (iortcw) for you.

Quoting: scaineI wonder if this will ever get deb/ppa support. I'm just not a fan of "locally" (i.e. non-managed) installed software. Such a cool project too.
My dirty hack for deb package:

Ryan "Icculus" Gordon is looking for new games to port to Linux, pay not required
22 Aug 2017 at 12:32 pm UTC Likes: 1

For me: Batman series, Witcher 3 and last but not least Quake Champions.

What have you been playing on Linux lately and what do you think?
11 Aug 2017 at 9:47 am UTC

Black Mesa, SteamWorld Heist, CS:GO and last but not least: Hero Academy (best game ever).

GOL Asks: What have you been playing on Linux & SteamOS recently?
25 Nov 2015 at 12:46 pm UTC

Recentely I play again mainly (after small break): Hero Academy (definitely my number one, best game ever, etc., above 420 hours).

Otherwise: Chaos Reborn (demo), CS:GO, Invisible Inc., Borderlands 2 and immortal Enemy Territory.
