I just downloaded and installed this and it runs great..... when I'm root. When I'm a normal user, after I click create server, it loads for about 30 seconds and drops me back to the title screen. I'm guessing it has something to do with permissions... maybe it needs to write to a folder that I don't have permission to write to? The alternative would be for me to install it in my home directory, but I'd rather not do that.
Any idea how I can install it so that everybody can use it?

I had the same problem just put this in the command line when you are root and it will fix the problem
chown -R username /usr/local/games/wolfenstein

You had to install the game as root, and the folder for wolfenstein belongs to root and the group is root. I just changed the group to games and made shure I was in the games group.
Oh, and you might need to play with the options for the group for the wolfenstin folder.
It fixed the problem for me :)

nycon is correct.
only it's chown -R username.usergroup for most distro's.
