Quoting: salamanderrake[...] also how do you make pickaxes now?

You can't. You can only find them in chests.

@Liam: You should also quote the other message, which was hidden in nomand's wrongly formatted second answer:

We're definitely aiming to have Swordy available for Linux in the future, no reason why we wouldn't want that! Just need to make sure we're allowed and that we can deliver a quality build when we have it!

Quoting: CybolicEDIT: Wow, this is not trivial to compile on Ubuntu :/ Anyone know how to cleanly install libsdl1.2-dev:i386 ?

I'll try to create a 32bit VM. This should be much easier!

I had similar problems with the official mail client, which is used by our university. For Linux, there is only an old 32bit client available. I tried to install this on 64bit Ubuntu without success. I think the installation of 32bit Java was the biggest problem. On 32bit Ubuntu, it worked like a charm. Luckily, this client is only needed for setting up the automatic mail filters, while the main functionality can be reached from the extremely dumbed-down web interface.

Is the FZR2000 included? :D

I'll give it a try! My CD was lying directly behind my monitor on a big pile of discs, which were considered for the trashcan. I hope it is compatible with the Green Pepper version...

No offence, but I won't download a zip from an untrusted source. Maybe, you should post it on pastebin, github or the like.

Finally, I got it running and the results like very nice. I'm running kernel 4.6.2 with nvidia 367.27 on a GTX970 and I used the Phoronix demo file (including the timespan 50000-51000). All other options were taken from Liam's script.

My results from steam -applaunch 570 [API] +timedemo dota2-pts-1971360796.dem +timedemo_start 50000 +timedemo_end 51000 +demo_quitafterplayback 1 +fps_max 0 -autoconfig_level 3 -h 1080 -w 1920 -fullscreen -high
are:
GL:     118.2
Vulkan: 136.8

BTW, I had to put the file in the folder .../steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota and the game doesn't quit automatically.

Why don't you run Dota2 directly via terminal as it was mentioned by dang_valve [External Link]?

Quoting: liamdaweI always do, i note the update with bold Update text.

But you don't mark the end of the update.

See for example this article on PCGamesN [External Link]. They mark the update as Update [date] and the original story below as Original story. Something along these lines would be nice. :)
