Serious Sam updates... (posted 2003-03-14 05:35:42 by icculus):

The First Encounter is up to beta 3. This fixes a vorbis issue, makes homedir access compatible with The Second Encounter, and removes all beta expirations, since I don't plan to have a new beta in the next month. You can get this patch through Loki Update.
The Second Encounter for GNU/Linux is now available, too, as a first beta. Grab it here.
I've played through the first third of the game, and there's two nasty bugs (one is in the First Encounter, too), but most can be worked around with the "please fly" console command.
You'll need a retail Second Encounter disc to install the game, but you don't need Windows; the installer you download will (hopefully) know what to do with the disc.
Both games should be considered buggy and incomplete at this time. Bugs reports go in the bugtracker, but don't expect a response or fix in a timely matter, if at all. Please don't send bug reports to me directly.
A mailing list for discussion (NOT bug reports!) is available. Send a blank email to ssam-subscribe@icculus.org to get on the list.
That's about it. Enjoy!
