Download
There are several packages available in the games repository:
- enemy-territory based on the initial Open Source release
- etlegacy binary compatible version with multiple bug-fixes (recommended)
Both depend on the enemy-territory-data package which will fetch and install the game files automatically.
Problems
It is recommended to install etlegacy not only because it fixes the common problems listed below, but also because of security issues. The original source code release from http://iowolfet.org/ is unmaintained with many outdated dependencies.
64-bit
For compatibility reasons 64-bit users have to install the 32-bit packages of the game.
No Sound
Install the etlegacy package which supports modern sound systems without hacks.
Widescreen
Set the resolution manually in ~/.etwolf/etmain/etconfig.cfg or install etlegacy which detects widescreen resolutions your monitor supports.
