Description cryptopsy 2015-09-11 15:21:14 UTC

using a hexeditorI was able to edit the /opt/rtcw/wolfsp.x86 file. I searched for the GL_EXTENSIONS: %s string and edited out the % with a space. This enabled me to launch the game. 

The bug is described here

Reproducible: Always

I suggest you try the games-fps/rtcw-9999 ebuild from gamerlay overlay which uses the sources from https://github.com/iortcw/iortcw to install a new single-player binary which has this bug fixed (and many other).
There's one drawback though. The current ebuild lacks multi-player support. But as soon as my time permits I gonna work on the ebuild to add MP as well.
