Didn't do it for me :( Gotta go now anyway, hopefully another upgrade will be ready when I get back.

Same here, plasma workspace crashes on startup after update. The packages that got upgraded were probably from the following repositories:

World of Padman

It might seem a bit childish at first but it's great fun and action packed. I don't know how populated the servers are these days, cause I haven't got the time to play a lot lately.

First of all I noticed there are generally two groups of gamers on linux from this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=415254

Hi,

I have some suggestions: First let it load for a bit longer, one to two minutes is about the load time I get on my system. Does the load bar show any progress when loading?

Nice! I'll check regularly to see if it's finished. I'm curious whether I'll find a free game that can really get to me.

Good point.

Indeed, personal taste plays a big roll in it all. Engine availability doesn't seem to be a problem, there's Crystal Space and Ogre, both good engines.

Although the game doesn't look like it's using any 3d-acceleration doesn't mean it doesn't need it. On happypenguin.org it says it does require 3d-acceleration.
