I know very well that this is an improper subforum for this thread, but as much more people (which might be interested) read this forum I wanted to let you all know that the linux client is available

http://www.quakelive.com/


if you really dont want this thread in her there are few quake live threads in the gaming forum

[RPG Master]

FINALLY!!! :D

I am so happy :)

cool...looks fun...how do you get a full screen? I opened my browser to full screen but the game screen is only about a quarter of the screen,,,,
thanks

[CharmyBee]

I would play this, but I already own Quake III Arena and Team Arena (and my Q3A folder is 6gb in size from all the custom stuff)

[symon1980]

WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO! Great news For Linux Gamers! I been waiting for Quake live
to support linux for a few months. See you in the Arena!!!

[wolfe]

is it just me, or does it not like shiretoko?

[3rdalbum]

Ooooo yeah, time to frag some Micro$loth ******* fanbois! :-P

There's something to be said for most Linux games being deathmatch FPSes. :-)

[Nburnes]

w00t this is awesome news!

[doorknob60]

Yeah add me, my name on QL is doorknob60. I posted the thread about this in Gaming, but didn't think it would be a good idea to post it here, een though I wanted to :P Oh well whatever. And about Shiretoko:

You may use Shiretoko too, just go to about:config and change general.useragent.extra.firefox to Firefox/3.5.2
Everything works fine

There might be some helpful info if you're having problems here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1240457

cool...looks fun...how do you get a full screen? I opened my browser to full screen but the game screen is only about a quarter of the screen,,,,Try alt+enter or set it to fullscreen in the game settings.

A lot of questions are dealt with in the holysh1t beginner guides (http://www.holysh1t.net/quake-live-beginner-guides/)!

[bodyharvester]

this is indeed good news

EDIT: damn, someone already has my name, so ill be bodyharvesterUF, i only play for fun :)

[aeiah]

great news. i got quite into this on windows for a month or so but then i got an xbox and have been playing halo 3 instead. still, might as well give it a go. my QL name is the same as my screenname here (as is my xbox live name for that matter)

Thanks for that!

Gave it a go now, works well. Passed the qualifying round, got bored and quit. :P

[JillSwift]

Why do they call it "Quake Live" when I spend an inordinate time dead? Shouldn't it be called "Quake: Dead in your Browser" or "Quake: Bring a Book" or something? ;)

[Starlight]

I've started playing it and it's a lot of fun :D But sound is stuttering a lot, and it's rather annoying. :(

update: closing Pulseaudio made it better :) still not perfect, though

update 2: actually no, it didn't

update 3: closing Pulseaudio didn't fix it, but removing Pulseaudio did.

[sydbat]

Just signing up. Using same nickname as here (sydbat).

[bodyharvester]

i think someone should start a thread where everyone can post their QL nicknames

[sydbat]

It keeps crashing FF. Anyone else have this problem?

Sounds like you were playing Duel. Play a different mode.

btw my nick is "pynt".

[Raffles10]

Works great in Firefox 3.0.13, superfast too. Playing as 'ubunut'...I'm the one everybody else keeps killing.

[days_of_ruin]

It crashes unless I play it fullscreen, but why play any other way anyway?

[darthmob]

Why do they call it "Quake Live" when I spend an inordinate time dead? Shouldn't it be called "Quake: Dead in your Browser" or "Quake: Bring a Book" or something? ;)I wonder how many people stick after the first few games. Quake is unforgiving for newcomers and the skill system can only do so much.

Getting at least 3 times as many deaths as frags is quite normal at the beginning.

[mehaga]

How about Ubuntu QuakeLive clan? :)

[BackwardsDown]

I've added everyone as a friend and my own name is pinguis :)

Had this account since the day they launched, but today was the first time I could actually play haha :P

[Raffles10]

The skill system would work better if players weren't able to join games meant for players with less ability than theirs. I've joined games based on my skill level only to find some players much better than everybody else running around shooting everything in sight. :confused:

[MaxIBoy]

I already own Quake 3, but more people will probably be online playing this thing instead. So I guess I'll sign up.

[MaxIBoy]

This is insane. The resolution is so small it only fills a tiny part of my screen. And the framerate is about 10 fps, whereas on 1440*900 with the original Q3 game content, ioQ3 never goes under 100 on my system, usually it's above 200.

This is supposedly based on the original quake 3 engine with "just a few touchups here and there." How they managed to coax such a low framerate out of such a terrific engine is really beyond me. It must have taken a dedicated and talented idiot many months of hard work in order to pull it off.

EDIT: System specs:
Phenom X4 9550
4 gigs DDR2-1066 RAM
Radeon HD 4850 w/ dual-slot cooler

This system should be quite capable of handling the game.

Edit This is due to the fact that I use OSS4 instead of ALSA, and that the ALSA emulation layer is good for music but not for games. However, OSS4 functionality is in the works. And with sound disabled, the game flies on my machine!

I have to say, this game has a number of advantages versus the original Q3. I think it's worth having both.

Are you playing full screen?

[MaxIBoy]

Are you playing full screen?
Tried both with and without. First I tried the default settings (non-fullscreen, 640*480.) Then I tried fullscreen at native resolution (1440*900.)

I started a bug report thread here (http://www.quakelive.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32086).

[Frak]

I would try it, but meh, id could have done SO MUCH BETTER. There are so many, quote unquote, "noobs" that get stacked up against seasoned players. Why didn't they at least try to pair them up together?

[darco]

Ok...made some MAJOR adjustments and the game looks great, full screen at 1680x1050...now those NVIDIA Drivers have finally paid off!

There should yellow bar at top of browser window to confirm installation.

[3rdalbum]

For anyone who's wondering, as I was: It downloads almost exactly 300 megabytes of game files. To check their progress, you can just look at Properties on ~/.quakelive.

This morning I couldn't find a single Australian player on Quake Live. I hung around in a game for a few minutes and nobody joined. I'm a little disappointed, though I guess I could always play The Conduit again (although that game always pits me against experienced players and I get my butt kicked)

id has had some problems with the oz servers lately, so that may be why. be patient as this game is still beta so that trickles down.

I think Firefox is preventing Quakelive installation even if plugin is installed. See image.
Maybe remove and install it again.

Right, but...if you look on the right, you will see the Button that says "Allow" and then it downloads the plugin.

Don't know if anyone else if having my problem but appearantly this is the resolution...


*Problem Solved*
Turns out i was missing the libXxf86dga.so Library file.

Solution:
Install getlibs (apt-get install getlibs)
Then Install the Library (getlibs libXxf86dga.so)

Hope this helps!

Anyone know of any Linux or Ubuntu clans out there? I heard some talk of a tux clan on the Quake forums but haven't seen anything come of this.

[MaxIBoy]

Doesn't matter if you particularly use it, just register. Otherwise ID software won't make "Rage" available on Linux!

[pwnst*r]

especially those that cry for more games on linux. do it now.


p.s. you should be playing Quake Live anyway if you're a fan of FPS or not. fact.

[bodyharvester]

a lot of people should already play it, i do, i cant even remember where i heard of it so getting the word out is important

[gali98]

Started playing a few days ago.. It is quite fun.. From an Urban Terror user...
Kory

[red_Marvin]

I would play if I could get it to work with oss, I have alsa emulation enabled, and tried various tricks that google turned up (seta s_mixahead and such) but there is severe lag in the sound still. :(

[madjr]

the weird thing is 5 years ago linux had a lot less users/gamers and was not aimed at avg. joes (was lots harder to use)

today linux is bigger, better, easier with many more users, but we get less 'big' commercial games?

maybe this is due to consoles, recession and msft's dominance over much of the console/pc gaming market?

linux will keep growing, so i guess indie/cloud/open source game devs will keep taking advantage of the lowered competition of big companies on the platform

ps. already fraggin on QL
playing a 3d game on my browser never been more fun. If this's the vision that ID, google and others have of how we'll play games on the cloud, it looks good.

the resolution is only limited in windowed mode. i'm utilizing 1920x1200 fullscreen - options are in the menu.

as far as frames per second, it's capped at 125 and i'm pegged at that so any significant drops are of course system bottlenecks.
