| ===The Linux Client ( version 1,18.5(3) )===
| |
| | |
| # Works ( in openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, at-least ) remarkably well, given how many years-behind the MS-Windows client it is,
| |
| # Performs admirably well in comparison with many other Newly Created For Linux clients/apps. . .
| |
| # It does, however, saturate ( 100%, continuously ) 1 CPU-core ( it doesn't share-the-load in multi-core CPUs ) | |
| # And IF you have a good-enough, modern-enough graphics-board, AND you have good & trustworthy drivers for it, properly installed ( Radeon HD2400 & Catalyst 7.12 is quite sufficient ), then you can enable all the extra lighting & effects, and get a noticeably improved virtual-reality. | |
| Changing the setting for Lighting, from Single-Source to Local Lighting, in particular, is significant.
