The Linux version of the Unity3D editor has been updated

By - | Views: 26,441
The Unity3D editor for Linux has been updated once again to bring it up to speed with the Windows version.

The last update was at the start of May, so it looks like it did get 1 or 2 versions behind. You can now get your hands on Unity 5.3.5f1 or 5.4.0b18 for developing games on Linux.

What people have been able to make with Unity has continued to impressed me. I just hope the SDL work pays off and gets included in future.

Find the download links here.

I am not a game developer, so I have never touched Unity, so if any of you are using it be sure to let everyone know in the comments. If you're developing using Unity on Linux feel free to post a link to your game too. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: sarmadYup, very frustrating. My guess is that it's not a bug, it's that they are doing something fundamentally wrong and fixing it requires a big refactor of the code. My guess is that they have a loop for updating things in the background instead of depending on events.

Well I just found the fix, not entirely satisfying but my ears are grateful. I open the about window, resize it to minimum and shove it to the bottom right corner of the screen. It keeps the CPU calm and the fans quiet. :-)

Interesting. Thanks for the tip, and the article. Just tried it and it works. My CPU is thankful to you :)
FYI, Instead of resizing and shoving to the corner of the screen, I simply threw the About window to a different virtual desktop and I got the same effect.
