Quoting: stssXonotic is actually pretty good. It just doesn't have a very high playerbase last time I checked which is kind of essential.

As long as UT can bring in the numbers then that alone makes it worth having another fast paced shooter on Linux IMO.
and it looks like it's shaping up pretty well too.

I think also that Xonotics lacks some fast development... it seems to me that people got away with time, which is sad, as I do think the same as you. The same thing happened to Warsow, it was much more populated before 1.0, which arrived a bit too late. Today there are only Clan Arena et Instagib games, both of which I don't like much.

I'm very excited to see this game being developed right now, and how they develop it. id Software doesn't care about fast paced shooters any more, and now they don't care about Linux too, so it seems to me that this UT could very well be the game to rule them all. Open source shooters have come a great way (personally I think Xonotics has the greatest potential), but for some reason they didn't reach the state of perfection that an UT or a Quake can achieve.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroIn other news, Eador: masters of the broken world was patched today still doesn't work. Guess developers need some time getting used to Linux (or they now think its not worth the hassle).

Do you mean, "Eador : Masters of the Broken Port"?

Quoting: omer666Bought Flatout 2 right away (Wine wrapper), and I don't know if their Wine version uses CSMT but the game runs flawlessly. I'm not even using Ubuntu, I'm on Arch.

Interesting… I’m racing-games-starved so I’m considering it, but they say it requires: libasound2:i386, libasound2-data:i386, libasound2-plugins:i386, none of which are available for Arch (or at least I didn’t find them).

(I have only read the first page of comments so far, sorry if it’s been mentionned already.)

Well I didn't install anything special for playing the game so I assume it is part of the lib32 alsa packages...

[Edit] Didn't see your last message :p

Well I thought it was running faster than with stock Wine, but I could be mistaken.

I have been playing a lot of X-COM: Enemy Unknown lately. "Astounding" science-fiction game!

How do you play the Napoleonic Wars DLC? I can't find anything related to it in the game menus... Sorry, I'm a M&B noob.

Already pre-ordered both. Metro Last Light will always remain my first cult Linux AAA title.

Quoting: philip550c

Quoting: omer666

Quoting: philip550cFirst one was fun, there were texture issues but they are gone, I keep hearing about the texture issue but i have installed this game on about 10 different computers and the textures look fine now. Cant wait, this game will be fun.

Just re-installed it, bugs are still here.

Which bugs? I used to have missing textures on all the floors, the screaming chick used to look like silver surfer, the flashlight used to cause serious graphical corruption. None of that happens for me anymore. Which drivers are you using?

I'm running Arch Linux with GeForce GTX660 and nVidia 337.25 drivers.
