------- Additional Comments From cwaddell@eastlink.ca 2007-09-08 18:45 ------- Hello I believe that I have found a solution to this problem. I am running Ubuntu 7.04 and was having the same problems when trying to connect to any game server. I solved this by entering the customize menu and under the voice tab I un-checked enable voice in this game. The game now runs fine and I can now connect to servers. It would be a good idea to investigate this problem more deeply to see what the real problem is but at present this is a quick fix so that someone can run the game.
This seems to be a problem with Ubuntu in general because there have been reports of people running this fine in versions of Dedian.
