hey.
What the fuck is Linux? How does it affects gaming/ET? Does anyone have a specific explanation on that? I just cant be arsed asking my mate Google.. -_- But I chose you !! =D isnt that great??
This guy wrote to me: Install Wubi and play ET on Linux, and your problems will be solved.
does this really work?
"Problems": FPS drops every 2-3 seconds when I first connected to a server. If I dont get those lagspikes in the beginning. I will get a HUUUUUUUGE fps drop after 2 minutes. From 125 fps to under 5. This takes around 20 seconds till its over. And sometimes, the drop is so fucking big that Im getting kicked for heartbeats and corrupted memory vista shit, even my O/S is XP. What the fuck?
Conclution of problem: Normal FPS - 125. But it drops to 5, every 2nd or 3rd second. After playing 2-3 min, im getting huge fps drop that will cause fucking madness in my house/room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to Linux:
So this guy told me Linux would solve my problems, and I could get it by installing "Wubi" (some polish shit?)
Will ET runned on Linux fix the FPS drops? And boost my system performance?
Ok fenks
Man "brutalman" Brutal

With ET on Linux. Can I still playing on normal servers? Or do I need to join servers made for linux only?
if all fails just do the best thing you can in windows FORMAT.
what can happen if it all fails? PC crash, blue screen etc?
Why does Linux gives so much fps?
But you never answered my question, are you using it to? :)
generally Linux WILL give you better FPS than windows. but if you dont know that Linux is an OS I dont recommend even trying to use it. better too fix you windows.
I have enabled ET, pnkbstrB & pnkstrbA in my firewall.
I have a ATI Radeon card, x1050 series.
O/S: Windows XP home edition.
512 RAM.
today I cleaned my computer outside & inside (the fan). And I also cooled it with window open :DDDD So it makes less more noise now.
I have used this computer 4 years now or something, and I have updated driver.
hehe, of course I know what Linux is. But I just need more information about it, on how it affects the gaming. Whats the positive, negative. Cause Im really, really sick of these FPS drops... getting fuckin nuts, and im fuckin desperate on getting it fixed. I will do everything lol, even an install of linux! :D
stuff i have done:
- I have updated drivers.
- Defragged.
- Turned off firewall & anti virus.
- Enabled pnkstrb & pnkstrba in DEP and firewall.
- Turned of unnecessary processes, and cleaned alot room in the /C: (I have 80 % free disk place)
- Running CCleaner daily.
- Googled.
- Cleaned dusk.
tell me if you need more info :/

"Wubi" is a lazy-ass way to install Ubuntu without having to repartition your harddrive, and thus minimizing the risk of data loss.. Quite clever actually.
Gaming on Linux is awesome as long as the game you're playing is supported, which of course ET is. The immediate huge advantage is that since PB is not given privilegies to scan your whole system, it won't and thus saves all that PB lag. It also generally has a better process stack and manages the system resources better, so more of your computers power get put into ET instead of all other random processes.
You won't be needing antivirus, which is also a resource hog on Windows.
As with everything, there's drawbacks. The immediate biggest one being that it's different. Your habits from Windows won't work, you'll have to learn everything over again. When you're used to it though, you'll love it.
There's also the lack of compatibility with your favourite Windows applications. You can argue that there are good open source replacements, and personally I've been using linux only for the past 4 or so years. But still, that's annoying.
That's the beauty of wubi though, it makes dualbooting very simple.
Good luck!
