What are the problems you're facing during the install?

Your router misbehaving is somewhat strange, we're not doing that much weird stuff on the network level - we just use UDP traffic whereas most other traffic is generally TCP. But really that shouldn't be an issue. Only thing I can recommend is to check for a new firmware version for your router or go into the settings and disable things you do not need. Often you get stuff like QoS and Firewalling enabled by default, even though most people don't actually use these features. Turning them off can make your router run a bit more efficiently and solve these issues.

We're waiting on the new version to be approved by the people running Desura, new release has been submitted and will likely be available very soon.

Let's first answer the which to run question: SDL and GLX (for linux) are different sublayers that talk to stuff like your graphics card, your keyboard and mouse. We supply both of them, as it varies a lot on different hardware which performs better and in some occasions either one will have bugs. We generally recommend SDL these days, but if you get poor performance or input issues - try GLX.

Your sound issues can be related to the same thing. But generally sound in linux is a touchy subject, and I cannot give you an easy fix. If you use pulseaudio, try getting rid of it and just using ALSA.

This issue has been reported to Desura and is being worked on from their end. It has also happened with other games, so this is not specific to Xonotic.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but there's nothing we can do to resolve this issue.

It will be soon, we're working on it and the news will be added here when 0.6 is on Desura.
