Quoting: aLit worked... but it says "lights needs to be rebuilt (93)" and I cant see a thing... I tried to disable in options all i saw... maybe there is an option to disable lighting?

If you are talking about what I think you are then bring up the in-game console with the tilde key (~) and then turn off sky lighting with "ShowFlag.SkyLighting 0"

Got it working here as well. If you have a card capable of using opengl4 you can use the flag -opengl4 to have the game run using it. I just created a launch script for it to make things easy. With current nvidia drivers there is some lighting problems. They can be worked around by using the console. So press ~ to bring it up and then use "ShowFlag.SkyLighting 0". It is then playable, some bloom stuff will still be out of whack. If it bothers you, then you can use "ShowFlag.Bloom 0" to disable it.

#!/bin/sh
./UE4 UnrealTournament -resx=5760 -resy=1080 -windowed -vsync -opengl4

Orkultus, What GPU are you using? I am using Arch as well and it ran ok for me. I have a couple of Nvidia GTX580s and using prop. driver 343.22.

Good article so far. I do have all of the Penumbra collection but have not sat down to attempt to tackle them yet. I do like survival horror games, though I admit I usually prefer to have some sort of weapon for self defense. Looking forward to the second part of this. I have played a bit of The Dark Descent, but it ultimately did not grab me so I didn't get past more than a couple of hours.

I think the root problem with these games with no/not many weapons is that I don't stick with them long enough to really get into the story, which is what makes them good. I have read nothing but praise for Penumbra over the years so I promise to REALLY try to give them a go when I do. I don't know if there is much hope for me and Amnesia though.. I've tried a couple of times and I just can't do it. I get bored too quickly.

Quoting: keikiI just asked myself. How do you handle wine updates? I use PlayOnLinux so I can easily switch wine version.

Do you update all the time or stick to a specific version, because it's working with game x?

Since I use PlayOnLinux I'm sticking at the moment with a version that works for each game.

I'm still running 1.7.24 with CSMT patches myself. IMO just stick with the version of wine/POLwine that works for you. Unless you have some specific app/game that doesn't work with previous versions of wine of course. Then it might be worth trying bleeding edge versions I suppose.

Has anyone tried this yet? I know some early backers have access to builds. Not sure if there are early builds available for Linux or not, I'm guessing not. I know windows builds are, one leaked the other day.

to those who have/are playing it what are your thoughts? It certainly seems like it might be cool.

Quoting: liamdaweAfter we played it me and Samsai both agreed that we felt Borderlands 2 is the overall better game.

Quoting: Xpanderand i agreed as well ..but BL TPS isnt bad at all still... just BL2 is a bit better

yep, that about sums it up. I've said it before and ill say it again, even a bad borderlands game will probably be awesome. So long as they don't mess with the actual game play and mechanics too much. Gearbox has "gold in them there hills" with this IP. It "just works"

Some of you may not be aware but borderlands didn't originally have it's cell shaded design. It was originally suppose to have "normal graphics". There is a video below of what it was originally going to look like. From my probably limited understanding Gearbox saw the Codehunters short film (also below) and just knew the art style simply fit the borderlands franchise and tried it and it was of course awesome!

Had fun watching you guys play on my lunch break! While I don't personally feel the game is quite as good as the last it's still great fun! Wish I could have stuck around longer, sadly I can't get away with video/audio playing while I'm suppose to be working ;)

(I have a few handles btw. EKRboi, ShortbusEK and DaMadOne are the common ones)
