    I tried to run serious Sam last night but upon starting it it said it couldn't verify my drivers. I continued anyway to horrendous play back. I had my graphics card turned on but i didn't optirun the game. Could this be the issue?

    It's a bit awkard to run using optirun. You have to start steam then add the steam libraries to the LD path. Look at the steam forum for details

    Setting up games to run with optirun is the biggest issue so far for me. Every game is slightly different.

    Anyone tried prime / primus instead of optirun? Have heard the performance is much better

    the year of linux gaming
    http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTI2Mzk
    In 2013 we will see Valve Software bring their other popular titles to Linux like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Half-Life 2, etc. We'll also see other advancements to the Steam Linux client and Source Engine. It's also not a pipe-dream to think that for future Valve games (Half-Life 3?) that there will be same-day (or near same-day) Linux support and that their new game engine is being designed with Linux in mind

    Does phornoix know something we dont?
    they have in the past and openly said we cant say more.

    I tried doing what was suggested. Didn't work. Kept saying the sam3 executable could not be found even thought I was in the directory.

    Also installed primus but I'm having problems with it and using the experimental 310 driver.

    I had to previously alter the optirun config to get it to work with 310 but I haven't found a similar tutorial regarding primusrun so I just altered a file to try direct it towards "nvidia-experimental-310" instead of "nvidia-current".

    Using ubuntu 12.10

    Any Red Orchestra 2 players want to play on linux - There MIGHT Be hope.
    http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTI2NDk
    In an exchange on Twitter between Ryan Gordon (Ported The killing floor and Red Orchestra 1 to linux ( under unreal 2.5)) and John Gibson, the President of Tripwire Interactive, there's now hope for seeing a Linux port of Red Orchestra 2. Gibson congratulated Gordon on getting Unreal Engine 3 to work on Linux and says that "we should talk" after Gordon mentioned "RO2."

    Derrick Ridda ‏@DerRidda @icculus So Mr. Gordon, any shenanigans with TWI and RO2 happening as a result of your UE3 work? RO2 on the Linuxes and I'd soil my pants.

    it raised just over $3800 of its $950,000 goal. Dont expect it that soon

    plus from what i can read, it seams to be something 'new' not adding to an existing product design - could be wrong though


    EDIT: I Thinks its a smartphone design - why?
    http://www.ubuntu.com/ and i quote " so close you can. [time till released inserted here] almost touch it.

    pun on touch ?

    EDIT 2: deffently phone

    Ah Ubuntu for Android is different to that. I wouldn't see the reason to shell out for an unknown brand when Ubuntu have told me that my HTC will run it some time "in 2012". :)

    I think you're right with the "touch" thing though. I'll tell you what though...if it's ubuntu for android, my holiday time suddenly became zero. :)

    Somebody should probably start a thread on it. nothing really to do with steam.

    I hope it's not a huge mistake (which it probably is).


  • Registered Users Posts: 152 ✭✭Howlin1




  • Registered Users Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭bpb101

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,620 ✭✭✭Grudaire


    Yeah, I don't know if the linux console idea will happen, it may be too soon to have a console released that will have far far less games than the competition..
