When you say it's a JKA error, do you mean the game itself... like a windows error? Or do you mean an error JKA puts out in the window you started it from under wine?

O.k. that's good. Well, not "good", but you know what I mean. Does it crash out if you play an offline game? Or is it just an online issue?

::Edit:: It sounds like it's just an online issue because it says CL_Parse_Packet. Packet Parsing typically deals with network communication. ::/Edit::

Well btw the looks of things its a corrupt file. I think ive read something about this before. I think its caused by a corrupt .dll file in the folder
ill replace the current ones with my old ones from XP...

Let me know if that works. Otherwise try running an offline game like I mentioned and see if it still crashes out.

Well copying the DLL files over just made things worse :P

Currently uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that solves it...

Ok reinstalled Single Player works fine it just seems to be Multiplayer...

A friend of mine seems to think the packets are something to do with internet.... I dont see how that would cause a problem though.

The game sends packets back and forth to communicate player data and everything between computers. That is why it is an internet thing

Would the linux firewall or something be stopping it??? Im pretty sure its not my Router considering it works fine on Windows so if its a firewall or something its Linux.

NVM.... I forgot i read something last night about the error is a Anti Crack error.

If people use no-CD executables like i was as my disk was getting wrecked it comes up with that error. So instead i created a ISO file from my JKA Disk and mounted it so now it works fine with no worries.

Ill get to work on that Howto

Thanks for this post everybody. It helped me get my Radeon 9600 running.

Here's what I did, more or less...
- I removed the KM_FGLRX drivers
- downloaded the ATI installer (from ati.com)
- downloaded the latest XOrg ATI drivers (also from ati.com)
- updated my SuSE installation every which way concievable (making sure to mark any fglrx as "do not install")
- tried to run ./ati-driver-installer-8.16.20-i386.run and it didn't work
- came here lo linuxquestions.org, was told the file didn't have permission to execute and was pointed towards the chmod command
- smacked self in head
- read up on chmod to change permissions for the file so it COULD execute
- ran the file
- logged in as root, ran fglrxconfig
- rebooted
- tried to run a 3d app

DOH! didn't work.

I didn't understand that the XOrg drivers (fglrx_6_8_0-8.16.20-1.i386.rpm ) needed to be installed too. I thought they were included in the ATI installer...

So, anyway, I went into yast to install/uninstall software, searched for fglrx and nothing was installed... so I ran the fglrx_6_8_0-8.16.20-1.i386.rpm, ran fglrxconfig again just to be safe, then rebooted, and voila! Everything works.

So if anyone is getting really frustrated and has about given up hope, it IS possible and it IS much easier than you might think. I know, Linux can be very intimidating, especially to us veteran windows users who are used to not having to think, but it's worth the effort.
