Do we need to use the propriety graphics card drivers for OpenGL?

Not necessarily - really depends how well the open source ones work.

Hi, tried it once under wine, anxious to try native linux version. Will it still need the CD for initial install? (I have one)

You will be able to use the game files from your Windows or Mac install. Just copy them over and use the linux build.

Added you, you should be able to see the linux topic now.

I might be a little late to the game, but if you guys need another hand, I'm interested. I don't really play much multiplayer, though, but I'm in the middle of a single player campaign and got a bunch of saves from the earlier missions (so I should be able to test e.g. saved game compatibility to some extent quite easily).

There was no mention of whether you have 32-bit or 64-bit builds or both, but I'm on an old 32-bit system (GeForce 6800 for a GPU) running Ubuntu 10.10. I can try other distros if needed.

Added you as a tester - see the private testers section.

For the time being, we're only supporting x86-32 for Linux.

Oh, oops. I only have a 64-bit Linux machine. Will that not work?

Aren't 64-bit systems able to run 32-bit programs, or is Linux different in this regard? I would assume Linux is no exception and you should be fine. Scroll down to the Private Testers Forum and find the thread for the Linux build near the top.

I'm playing it thru wine but I'd like testing the linux version, txs for thinking about us.
