I have a problem that I havn't been able to find descibed anywhere. Wolfenstein start up fine and things look good. If I try to start a multiplayer game however, the harddisk seems to spin forever (I got 192MB RAM). I'm not entirely sure the problem is nVidia or something else. I'm not sure if the spin will finish.

Keep your ass on. I've got it right here (thank Bob I don't check out the CVS that often): --->8 (cut here) 8<--- Q: After installing Unreal Tournament, I try to run the game and it always exits with a SIGIOT
A: If the SIGIOT occurs shortly after a line indicating an fread error, the UT data files did not install correctly. If you have one available, please try installing from a different CD-ROM drive. Not all drives can correctly handle the copy protection on the CD. You should also check the md5sums of your CD against one of the lists at http://www.icculus.org/ lgfaq/md5sums/. If the md5sums do not match, your drive is not reading the CD correctly. (ut-cd1.txt is for the original UT retail release, ut-goty-cd1.txt and ut-goty-cd2.txt are for the CDs of the Game of the Year edition.)
A: If the SIGIOT occurs after an audio initilization, or if you upgraded UT from a previous installation, you will need to rename your ~/.loki/ut/System/UnrealTournament.ini (if you want to carry over any customizations) and allow UT to re-create its own default UnrealTournament.ini.
A: If you are installing using a Game of the Year CD, make sure you are using the correct installer. The retail release (blue CD/jewel case) uses ut-install-436.run.

Message-ID: I have changed this mailing list to only accept posts from subscribers, which should pretty much eliminate any spam that might relay through the list. The list should otherwise function as it has been. If there are any problems, please email me and we'll sort them out. If you plan to post from a second address that is unsubscribed, you can either subscribe it, in which case list traffic will go to both email addresses, or, at your request, I can list the second address as unsubscribed-but-permitted-to-post. This is not a problem. That's all; thanks! --ryan. postmaster at icculus.org
