<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>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>

<p class=MsoNormal>++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>

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>
<br>
Greetings and best wishes<br>
raphael<br>
