1. To start off, make sure you have compiz disabled or uninstalled. This has been known to cause more problems.
2. If you are experiencing some jumpiness in your mouse movements, I have found this Urban Terror command helps:
r_finish 1
3. Make sure you are using minimalist graphic settings such as these:
seta cg_brassTime "0"
seta cg_marks "0"
seta cg_marktotaltime "0"
seta cg_maxFragments "0"
seta cg_novoicechats "1"
seta cg_sfxbrasstime "0"
seta cg_sfxParticles "0"
seta cg_sfxSurfaceImpacts "0"
seta cg_sfxVisibleItems "0"
seta cg_visibleBleeding "0"
seta com_blood "0"
seta com_maxfps "125"
seta r_detailtextures "0"
seta r_dlightBacks "0"
seta r_dynamiclight "0"
seta r_ext_compressed_textures "1"
seta r_inGameVideo "0"
seta r_lodbias "2"
seta r_picmip "2"
seta r_roundImagesDown "2"
seta r_stencilbits "0"
seta r_texturebits "16"
4. Command to start urt in a separate xsession
I located the idea from this on the Arch Linux Wiki. Many hardcore linux users might already know of this, but this is for the people that aren't aware of it.
This script (or command, however you use it) creates a new x session from which you can play your game. It runs your game outside your desktop environment and allows the game to run more smoothly in another "window"
sudo xinit /path/to/iourbanterror.i386 -- :1
or .x86_64Bash script
#! /bin/bash
# runs iourbanterror in a seperate x session
read -p "This file will execute Urban Terror in a seperate x-session."
sudo xinit /path/to/iourbanterror.i386 -- :1
Once you have executed the game successfully in another xsession:
These keys will function as an "alt-tab"
[F7] to return to your desktop
[F9] to return to your game (once in the desktop)
Sticky please admins if this helps people
