netpanzer 2

[pardsbane at offthehill.org (Joshua Pollak)]

Eric,

Your pretty much absolutely right. Oh, I miss Loki, even with all its 
problems. For what its worth, we play Unreal and the Unreal 2004 demo 
at work fairly regularly and I have no problems on my Linux box. Other 
Loki-ported games always ran great as well.

Of course, I have an NVidia card at work, which makes a huge difference 
in compatibility it seems. The last time I tried to get 3d working on 
an ATI it was a nightmare.
