Can't load Assault maps?

[David Krider]

I was playing for several hours. I switched over to 1024 (from 800) 
because my machine was running so well. I played a couple more levels, 
and then it just STOPPED loading levels. I'd join the LAN server. I'd 
wait for 5 to 10 minutes. But it would either never load, or it would 
dump out of X. I thought that the latest patches. Fixed the load time 
problems. I changed my resolution back, but that didn't fix it. I tried 
about 5 times. I finally gave up and am now loading it in Windows, but - 
oy - the ribbing for dropping out of Linux at the hands of the resident 
Windows freak. Ug. Someone save me! I don't suppose that I've given 
enough information, but I just don't even know were to start. I've got a 
dual Athlon 2800 with 1 GB of RAM and a GeForce 4600 Ti. I'm running 
SuSE 9.1 with the latest kernel and the latest NVidia driver. Any ideas?

Thanks,
