Thank you Ryan! (+ crash :-) )

[Alvise]

After too much time from the release, the game has arrived in Venice 
today and I finally had my special edition :-)

The main thing I want to say is: thank you Ryan and all the folks who 
worked at it! The game is BIG!

...and it installed without any problem: ran the script and after few 
minutes I was playing, plain and simple :-)

Yet, some problem appeared :-(
Today I have played for... let's say... about an hour or so of effective 
gaming. And in this hour the game sent me back to my desktop twice.
I mean, I am in the middle of a firefight and few seconds later I got my 
xfce4 desktop in front of me. (luckily when the game exits I don'tlose 
all the cash I earned, when I reload is just as that match hasn't existed)

"ps aux" tells me that the process is gone

~/.ut2004/System/UT2004.log tells, after the line that reads START MATCH

I am playing on a Athlon 2100+ with 512mb and a GeForce Ti4200 with 64mb
Distro is a RedHat 9.b, kernel 2.4.20, nvidia drivers 1.0-5336

Hope this can help

Thank you guys again for the great work anyway!!
Keep up the good work,

Alvise
