I was looking into the issue that causes the last letter of text in ETQW to be cut off.

For linux players: I just noticed glibc has a build-time configure option (--disable-multi-arch) that stops it using the functions that cause all the text to get cut off in-game without any hacky patches required, and I think Fedora enables it by default for 32-bit (and it's an option on Gentoo). I've edited the build script I posted a while ago to use it if you need to do a build yourself: https://pastebin.com/MGK4ant9

This suggestion was made in a Discord channel in 2021. Is this something that could be built for ETQW only, by adding the library to the ETQW folder and linking to it? Or does this need to be a system-wide thing?

Easiest is probably to uninstall etqw, upgrade, then reinstall etqw as the latest release should fix this.

I'm getting the following now that I'm trying to update my system:


:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing lib32-libjpeg-turbo (3.0.4-2) breaks dependency 'lib32-libjpeg' required by etqw

What's the best course of action here?

Instead of a private mirror, it looks like upstream still provides the .run file at https://www.splashdamage.com/games/enemy-territory-quake-wars/

If you are getting the classic "libGL error: unable to load driver" with etqw, do what you do with Steam and delete libgcc_s.so.1 and libstdc++.so.6 from the /opt/etqw directory so SDL uses the native libraries and it should work (it at least does for me).

I updated the PKGBUILD with a working mirror.
