Having some problems while running in Ubuntu 0810

[jondecker76]

The downloaded version is the full, paid-for version.

As far as a crash, it almost always happens while loading a level. The loading screen will just hang forever. After restarting X with alt+ctrl+backspace, and logging back in, the CPU usage is 100%. Looking at system monitor shows penumbrablackplague.bin as sleeping. Trying to manually end process would result in the process being listed as "zombie". I could finally get it to go away by manually killing the process.

The jerkiness and framerate comes and goes. The first time this happened is in the room with the "unnatural" light... Framerate went down to 1-2 frames per second.. Rebooted and the problem went away. There have been many other times this has happened as well in other areas. Also, the only reproducable low framerate problems happens any time I'm within a pretty close distance to an enemy, or a body (drops to around 5-10 FPS)

There is no other process running in the background that could be causing this. (verified by system monitor). This is a fresh install. Also, I'm using the binary NVidia driver (not the open source driver)

I'll try to get these problems to reliably reproduce and report back here if I'm successful.

By "downloaded version", do you mean the demo or the linux full version? The full version includes more fixed than the demo version does.

Are you sure any of these "lock-ups" and "slow frame rates" aren't recreatable?? If I had a save game where I could recreate I'd be able track down what the cause is. and by Lock-up, does the game hang? or does it crash? If it crashes, send a backtrace from GDB (via a core dump)

Also, are you running any other applications on your system that could be occupying CPU?
