Quoting: thelimeydragonApparently the reason some people are unable to run the game is the game is currently compiled for CPUs that support the SSE4 instruction set.
oh, the same thing that happened with Tropico 5, AMD processors were having the issue. Mine is the Phenom 2 six core. No SSE4 support. Well hopefully they can re-compile the binary to fix that.

Dead Island Zombie Game Now Available On Linux For Some (updated)
27 Oct 2014 at 3:29 pm UTC



Been getting weird shadow redish / dark black areas all over the place. I have tried all the settings. This isn't the only game it happens with. It happens on darker textures in Borderlands 2, and the pre-sequel as well. I am running a Nvidia GTX 550Ti 2GB, with the latest drivers. Any idea?

Unreal Tournament Has Public Builds Available For All Platforms Now

Quoting: EKRboiGot 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.

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

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.
I am using a Nvidia GTX 550ti 2GB, with nvidia version 343.22
