Issues with the freeware game Nexuiz, and just pc games in general?
I’ve never been into playing PC games, and I just downloarded Nexuiz off of apple’s website, (and it’s awesome, let’s just get that out of the way), but when I open it and play, I can’t figure out how to do anything outside of the nexuiz application, let alone, actually quit the game, except by using option/command/delete to force quit, which i’m sure i shouldn’t have to.
also, I see those pc controllers with joysticks that look like console controllers, can you use them on any game, or just certain ones?

Have you tried hitting the “ESC” key to quit or bring up a menu? I haven’t played the game but the ESC key usually brings up a way to quit.
it brings up a big menu (a bunch of which is techy mumbo jumbo i can’t understand), but i couldn’t figure out a way to quit, no.
I am downloading and will take a look. It is rather large so it might be a while.
When you are playing hit the ESC key. That will bring up a window with a gold bar on top. Click the X at the right end of the gold bar. In the next screen you will see an option to quit on the lower right of the screen.
And damn you.. I am probably going to waste the rest of my day playing this.
lol, thanks so much. i know, i need to clean my house, i was just looking for a little something to pass time in my general ed classes, but i can’t stop.
also, i’m playing on a widescreen macbook, that’s why i didn’t see it, i’m not just blind :) only a sliver at the top of the button is visible
Yeah it looks like the game is open source and runs on every major operating system. That usually equals insanely bad menus. I found them ugly and confusing. But it is a fun game. And I don’t normally play First Person Shooters. I’m more of a Warcraft II guy.
Uh oh, now I have to look at Nexuiz…
I don’t know about those game controllers or Apple controllers, but I’d imagine you can probably configure them for most games that use other controllers… er, though if you’re non-technical, it might be frustrating to figure out how.
