A new release of the Linux 1.2 client is available. Voice chat is now supported, and a few other things were tweaked:
- voice chat support (OSS and Alsa backends)
- OSS sound: fixed the dsp device from s_dsp -> s_device
- s_noMic to skip the mic init / voice input
- by default, don't require Ctrl+Alt+~ for console toggle
- r_useThreadedRenderer hardcoded to 0 - is not supported in the Linux build atm
- cleanup and simplify the frame timing code, hopefully fixing the fps banding problems
- fix showFPSBandings crash, com_showFPS needs to be enabled
- make SIGHUP shutdown more explicit, as it's not a crash
but rather a requested shutdown (controlling terminal exited)
- set r_useFBODestinationBuffer to 0 when detecting an NVidia card
(required for 5700 series otherwise performance degrades too much)
- misc updates to fix potential gamecode crashes
- add zpaks to the setups
