Bioware Releases Neverwinter Nights Linux Client Beta

Posted by timothy on from the but-it's-only-spring-first dept.

valedaemon writes "Well, I thought that the world would end before this day dawned, but Bioware has finally made good on its promise of a Linux client for Neverwinter Nights. You still need a Windows installation in order to copy the game data, but the good news is that the downloadable is only 4.4 MB. I could write more, but why? Go play!"

    As I understand it, it works like this.

    On a misconfigured terminal, hitting the backspace key would produce a Ctrl-H instead of actually backspacing over the text you'd just typed. This has become a 'joke' where you type what you were thinking, and hastily backspace over it and type something more tactful, only to get inserted control characters instead! We laughed for seconds.

    Anyway, I hope this makes you feel less of a pathetic n00b^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hclears things up for you.

    Yours,
    You Likewise Fail it.
