Thumbs down Games on Redhat 9.0 can't run! :)


Yoo 8) I have tryed to run some games on kde but i simply can't start the games after intall. I have tryed a lot of games all build on the unreal engine but they do not work. One of the games is the army ops 2,0 (Americas army). After installing, the game shows the AA logo and when it's about to start it simply goes down and noting happens. Hope that all you linux fans out there can help

open up a console and run AA from there. When it bombs out it will give you an error usually. Post the error here and some one should be able to help out or at least point you in the right direction.

Sounds like you don't have the drivers installed. Go to nvidia and download the latest video drivers and follow the instructions on how to install them. Make sure not to skip the part where it tells you to edit your xf86config file. Reboot and run glxgears to make sure you installed the drivers right. Finally, try running AA again from the console, if you get the same error you may need to reinstall in order for the game to pick up the driver changes.
