Hello,

xubuntu 14.4 latest kernel
GT 630
8GB ram
quad core 2.4
Using 340.32 nvidia modules

I've recently purchase NS2, installed it, can go through the main menu. I've set all the video settings to low/off. I try loading up the training mission and in the console I get the follow before it just hangs and stops responding

Has anyone run into this issue? The system is fine but NS2 just hangs.

    Same problem here.

    I've tried playing tutorial but it gets stuck in the level load screen.
    Please, let me know if there is something that I can do in order to debug this. (gdb traces, etc.)

    I've attached the full log file, but basically it's like this:

    yea, I don't see a ton of people on the servers so I wouldn't expect much in the way of support. I am able to just join some servers and play alright just no way to train first. some servers don't work however.
