Combat is painfully slow.

Yesterday I installed UFO:AI from the trunk. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and everything worked great. 2.3 is a lot better, but when I get into a battle the mouse becomes very unresponsive and jumpy. It does the exact same thing in a skirmish. Auto battles seem to work fine but it's impossible to get your mouse where you want it and click at the right time. Everything else seems to work fine except I can't bring up the manage UFO yard thing.

BTW I'm at revision 24088.

You can try disabling glsl shaders.
It can be videocard driver either, try the one from your vendor.

It may be the soundcard - cf. post titled "Sound Issue" in the linux section of the forums.  If I mess around with the config and make it so that the sound driver doesn't load I get a nice framerate, if the soundcard is on then I get nice sound tho' the play in combat is slow (FPS around 3-4 max).  I think if I can get the game to use something other than ALSA I will be able to get it to run well.

Have you thought about the sound as the problem (despite probably having perfect sound)?

[Darkainious]

No I didn't think about sound cards I'll try that.

You can try disabling glsl shaders.

have you tried that one already, too?

[Darkainious]

Thanks alot Mattn and Geever it worked perfectly after I turned off the shaders
