Really Rather Good Battles In Space for MS Windows

Download Really Rather Good Battles In Space 1.13 (58MB)

To install the game simply run the setup file.

If you have a particularly old video card then when you first start the game select "options" from the main menu and then change "Texture size" to "Low". If you have a pretty good video card (at least 64MB video memory) then you can change texture size to "High". The default of "Medium" is for cards with around 32MB of video memory. If the game still runs too slowly even with texture size reduced to "Low", go into the options menu again and reduce the screen resolution to 800*600.

The following libraries, including the devel packages, are required to compile from source:

Install instructions:

1. Download both archives and extract them in the same place, they will place their files in a directory named "rrgbis".
2. Go into the "rrgbis/src/FTGL" directory and type "./configure", and then hit enter.
3. Type "cd ../../", and then hit enter.
4. Type "make", and then hit enter. IMPORTANT NOTE: The Makefile specifies fno-strict-aliasing. The game is liable to freeze if you remove this and aren't using the most up to date version of gcc. Possibly this is a bug in certain versions of gcc.
5. Run the game by typing ./rrgbis
6. If you want to put the binary somewhere different to the game data, edit settings.dat to point to the data location and then put settings.dat in ~/.rrgbis and the binary wherever you want to.
7. If you have a particularly old video card then when you first start the game select "options" from the main menu and then change "Texture size" to "Low". If you have a pretty good video card (at least 64MB video memory) then you can change texture size to "High". The default of "Medium" is for cards with around 32MB of video memory. If the game still runs too slowly even with texture size reduced to "Low", go into the options menu again and reduce the screen resolution to 800*600.

If you have problems compiling or running the game try looking for help on the forum.
