## Common questions

### How can I record or automatically record Xonotic matches?

Demos are recordings of matches; you can enable Auto record demos in Multiplayer->Media->Demos, or open the console and type rec demos/<name> before the match.

### Which Linux launch scripts should I try if Xonotic does not start easily?

The source says the FAQ recommends launching xonotic-linux-glx.sh or xonotic-linux-sdl.sh and using whichever works better, and that the scripts may need to be made executable.

### Do I need to copy server.cfg and server_linux.sh before running a Xonotic server?

A Reddit user reports that the docs say to copy server.cfg to the .xonotic/data folder and server_linux.sh to the game folder and then run the server, while questioning whether all of that is actually necessary.

### Is Xonotic free to modify?

Xonotic is stated to always be free to play and modify under the copyleft GPLv3+ license.
