chmod +x fteqw-glsdl2

Troubleshooting

Connection issues

If a hosted game isn't being listed in the in-game "Find" screen, try looking at the Frag-Net server list. If listed there, click on it and use the /<number> address to connect via the in-game "Connect" screen.

If that doesn't work, you can try port forwarding port 27500, setting sv_public to 0 in the tag/server.cfg file and then hosting a game. Your friends should be able to connect via your public IP address.

Linux version not running

Downloads use official FTEQW release binaries, which may be linked to newer versions of standard libraries than those provided by your distro. If so, compiling the engine yourself is very easy. Visit the FTEQW website for more info.
