How-To install quake3-excessiveplus under linux
Nice!!!
Does it also explain why (only) excessive plus crashes when I wait for the map change after I updated my unstable Debian yesterday?
I'm serious. I have all kinds of mods. But only excessive plus manages to crash when there is a map change.
(You don't need to tell me not to use unstable since I can't)
I would really, REALLY appreciate any suggestion... since I love x+....

How-To install quake3-excessiveplus under linux
I found out what caused the problem. It crashes right in the moment it tries to write the screenshot.
That worked perfectly before. But since the unstable update I have to disable it now to prevent the client from crashing.
I wonder what could have changed during that update that could break the screenshot functionality?
Any ideas?
