Or Download:

Patching the game:
If the integrated updater doesn't work:

Get the patch here.
http://www.notforidiots.com/SFE/

You must overwrite the files from the patch to the game folder.

(if you got it through emerge/portage, its located in /opt/savage)

To fix a sound problem run as root: alsaconf

Recommended System Requirements:
Controls: 3 button mouse with a scroll wheel
CPU: 1000 MHz CPU or better (subject to change)
Memory: 256 MB RAM
Video: GeForce4 or better (OpenGL compatible Video Adapter)
Online Connection: Broadband (Cable Modem, DSL, or better)

It worked for me, out of the box.

seems like a pretty goo idea to mix realtime stradegy and fps. best thing is that system requirements are really really low, i should be able to run it on my 2.4ghz 256 ram machine!

i have been looking for a good linux game lately. what you think about it? think we could make a sabayon team?

HAve you had any trouble using the in game update, when I try to do it it just hangs at Save is Restarting

I had that to, i've downloaded the patches manualy and copied them over the files, that worked just fine.

Finally... but note that link on the official site is already old. The most recent one could be found on:
http://www.notforidiots.com/SFE/
(so you don't have to update it)

Actually the version joost have pointed to should be already in portage and keyworded ~x86:

Code: Select all

emerge -av savage-bin

and here is my request of adding an ebuild for the latest version (with a draft ebuild attached - thanks to a gentoo dev Tristan Heaven):

What your nicknames are when you play on servers? My is the same 'voxiac' and I'm mostly on 'Multiplay.co.uk*' and 'EU' servers.
