Post by michael_x2 » Wed, 12. Nov 08, 21:15

The Linux version of X3 is almost here.

For those of you that don't know, Linux Game Publishing ( http://www.linuxgamepublishing.com ) is creating a limited edition run of 500 Special Edition X3: Reunion for Linux. All copies are numbered, and today, we have opened a charity auction on Ebay for the benefit of the EFF ( http://www.eff.org ) for the #1 copy - the first and most valuable copy. The auction can be found at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0301957810

How much chance and/or support would one have, trying to run this with binary compatibility under FreeBSD?

We build it with the ELF tags to allow it to run under BSD, but it is very unsupported. There is no reason it shouldnt as long as your graphics card/driver are up to it.

You will be glad then. It has just broken the £100 barrier.

/me is not glad, /me is overjoyed :D

2 things: Gratz for the future owner, Gratz for LGP and Gratz for all the auctioners. Wait, that's 3? Nope, that's 1. (Now's the second) Will the current scripts&mods work on Linux Version?

The game went for £144 to x0paddy0x in the end for the records. As the auction is over it is time to unsticky this.
