Ubuntu has changed quite a bit since I last used it. Anyone got an alternative to XFIRE other than WINE.

Thank you...

Also installed ET and I can get 125 FPS omfg... finally... with PB enabled also... WIN WIN....

it doesn't launch et as far as i know, but it can show if you are playing. but XQF can do that for you (and you can also get et_sdlsound in there)

I used ubuntu, but its annoying because not all programs work on it. So i was lazy and just installed win7 pro

http://gfireproject.org/ works pretty well for XFire. Even detects what you're playing, although it doesn't support server detection for ET.

Ha, same problem.... I managed to get some crackling sound.... I think I know the problem. You Googled it? Definately something to do with the sound API server,,, apparently, you can only use applications that use the API and is recognised by the driver / server.

I think there is alternative drivers that can be used....
