OK, looking through the gdb disassebled code and I can see some SSE instructions (movss, sqrtss, etc.). Hopefully I will win my ebay auction for an Athlon XP. And a better video card. And a quieter fan, lol. Not that that will necessarily get the game to work! haha.

OK, I'll try to step into gdb to see what the opcode is that is being executed. You're probably right though, and I suspect the culprit is sse or sse2. Tomorrow - I'm going to bed without getting to try DropTeam

Maybe, I'm also getting a SIGILL from the Updater: --12:28:21-- http://tbgsoftware.com/DropteamUpdate/Lock.dat => `Lock.dat' Resolving tbgsoftware.com... 82.165.243.126 Connecting to tbgsoftware.com|82.165.243.126|:80... connected.

I know that the GUNIXFileList.txt file is present in the correct spot. :-(

Hi, I'm having problems getting DropTeam running on Ubuntu 6.06: (gdb) r Starting program: /home/tchristney/games/DropTeam/bin/SpaceVikings (no debugging symbols found) [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread -1222891840 (LWP 5201)] Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.

Is that the problem, or is it somewhere else?
