Quoting: GuestI am very grateful for wine but I still don't understand why there is no support beyond DX9 after this many years.
All you have to do is reverse engineer some directx libs. Easy right? Ha.

TW2 issues (even with an Nvidia GPU) could be pertaining to single threaded CPU performance. Liam, don't you have an 8350?

What Can You Do For Linux Gaming?

What really doesn't help is the "age" of the games being ported to linux. Myself, like some of you above have a fairly sizable (300+) game library that I mostly bought to be played on Windows. So, when Borderlands 2 came out on Linux for example, I already owned the game, so that doesn't increase the "Linux Sales." Not that it should, I just wish that developers could see the number of times a game was downloaded/played on a specific platform.

It's not my fault I bought and played a game on windows when it took you 2 years to port the game to Linux. Two plus years of sales on windows is never going to compare to 3 months of sales on a different platform. "Bad sales."

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Looks Closer To A Linux Release

Quoting: Sered(*) 1) I get better performance in most other games with the open source drivers
2) I don't need to fear late night kernel updates or x.org updates, when I'm really tired and miss those which would quite certainly break my desktop for a couple of hours, if I'd use the proprietary drivers
3) I tried wine and playonlinux and I can't get the launcher to login. It's a laggy hell that often cripples my entire x-server which leads to a restart of it.
Depending on the distribution, the Nvidia drivers rarely cause an issue (depending on your graphics card of course). For example, in Ubuntu Jockey handles every kernel upgrade etc.

Win A Copy Of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

I love gamingonlinux because it's the best place for those special people who refuse to go with the status quo. This place fosters a community for said people and creates a voice for the Linux Gaming community to speak to developers.

I love Aspyr because it's about time Linux got some love too. Why port games that have to run on sometimes two generation old hardware with slow locked down cpus (MACS), when you can port a game for systems that can truly max the game out for less than $1000.

And yes I realize this is late :)
