I have been sitting back since October 12, when the Windows demo client was released. I remember this day perfectly as my company asked me to resign that night.<br><br>I've stayed a member of this list, as well as the UT3 Admin list the whole time, waiting for the release of the linux client. With no job, I pre-ordered and picked up the game in November (as a b-day gift for myself), in hopes the linux client would be released. <br>
<br>Exactly 4 months later, my UT3 copy sits in a filing cabinet, still in the bag from EB Games, receipt, shrink wrap and all.<br><br>I even went so far as to install a second hard drive in my computer in hopes to put Windows on it to at least install and enjoy what I bought, but after I finished installing/updating and patching windows, I wasn't even interested in playing any more.<br>
<br>Day after day my inbox will fill up with email from this and the Admin list, and the only reason I stay on them is the hopes to hear "Linux demo (or full at this point I don't care) UT3 client is found 'here'". But that's not the case.<br>
<br>I'm sure Ryan is working hard, as he is the hardest Linux game programmer known to mankind. but whatever the holdup is, as a community, it would be nice to have 'some' information.<br><br>Things we saw while waiting for the release of UT3 Linux:<br>
<br>1) Writers Guild strike and conclusion.<br>2) HD DVD/Blu Ray format war is about over<br>3) Frontlines Fuel of War being advertised on WWE Monday Night Raw (powered by Unreal engine)<br>4) Hades freezing over. It went from 80 degrees to below freezing in a day here<br>
5) more information on DNF was released<br><br>I will still sit and wait for the linux client, why? Because I can save up more money for a new gaming rig, and pass my current one to my girlfriend. :)<br><br>--k<br><br>

++Raphael I think same.<br>I buy the game cause it promise a linux client version.<br><br>When you talk about linux client on epic forum, they close it immediatly (like if you talk about porn) and said : refer to the FAQ<br>
<br>I regret we dont have any information about it (if someone work on, if a beta work, if you need help ...)<br><br>I hope a release soon.<br><br><br>-----Message d'origine-----<br>De : Raphael [mailto:<a href="mailto:lilo-@gmx.ch">lilo-@gmx.ch</a>]<br>
Envoyé : lundi 11 février 2008 19:38<br>À : <a href="mailto:ut3@icculus.org">ut3@icculus.org</a><br>Objet : [ut3] customer satisfaction...<br><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>Dear users<br><br>I read now for a while this list in the hope, to hear something about a linux-client. But, each user, who asked about it, was refused by other people from this list.<br>
<br>I don't want an answer for this mail, but:<br><br>I don't understand, why it's so difficult to tell all two weeks or so the state about the linux-client to the community. This users are later they, which use this client. And, each customer in any normal business want to know, when his product is finished.<br>
<br>Why, are all people on this list clueless about any state? Only with 5min per 2 weeks the whole community can know about it.<br><br>eg. Opera beta 9.5 has a blog and there comes weekly any info about the state/changelog of its state. So, the user could introduce something about it.<br>
<br>Is something similar really so difficult?<br><br>Quality is a product between customer satisfaction and good products (include support), not only good products anytime unknown...<br><br>Please let us know something!<br>
