Enemy Territory Quake Wars and glibc 2.7 Error

Many users have reported that once they have upgraded their system with glibc 2.7 in a 64-bit distro that ETQW would play for 5 – 10min then hard freeze the system with little warning and no visible errors. This appears to be how the distro handles the 64-bit versions and despite having compatibility for 32-bit including the supporting drivers and libs users still report this issue using a 64-bit distro with glibc 2.7.

The issue has been isolated to lib32-glibc 2.7 in dual core or quad core systems with 8 series nvidia cards. The current fix is to downgrade to lib32-glibc 2.6 but for users who can not downgrade for numerous reasons we would like to see a fix or work around if you have one.

If you have this error voice your concern by leaving a comment below so we can get the attention of some of the developers and hopefully get this issue sorted out for the community.

Did you find a fix? We would love to hear about it and so would thousands of ETQW Linux players. Please post what you know in our public forums.
