Linux and gaming

Post by joost » Thu Apr 26, 2007 22:30

Just was wondering....

What would you like to know about playing games on linux? What problems do you run into?
Got any ideas on playing windows games using wine OR *cedega?

Best alternatives for demon-tools?

Any thoughts? Let me know!

Impressive!
I only play SFE: Savage Full Enhancement when I have time. Search bugzilla for ebuild. Linux version has some issues with sound on my system though (crackling), so I run the windows one under wine :).

TC:E mod for Enemy Territory. Still the funnest game/mod I've played, and free-aim feature is the best.

I haven't really looked into it that much myself, so I'm not sure how useful it is in practice (especially as it's getting close to two years old) - but I can across this thread in a nother forum that I frequent and I thought I would submit it here in case if has something to offer :).

I love NWN (NeverWinter Nights). I play it natively! no wine/cedega/crossover . Its fast, nice, uses SDL and I can't wait to beat it so I can go on to NWN2 !! I love gaming in Linux!! I think I'm really really gonna like this shed!
