Thanks to the community a bunch of demo games built in Unreal Engine 4 now work on 64bit Linux, so give it a try! The current Unreal Engine only supports 64bit Linux, so remember that if you plan to try the test games.
There's still a lot of work to do to get Linux supported fully in the Unreal Engine ecosystem like UnrealFrontend, the Editor (although the community has done work there), but it doesn't look like 32bit will be officially worked on due to Unreal themselves focusing on 64bit.
I especially like this:

See the wiki page here for the games. I tested out Tappy Chicken, Swing Ninja and the Mobile Temple tests and all ran great on my machine, so that's already made me feel good about the future with Unreal Engine. See a screen-shot below:
I hope the progress on it all doesn't slow down. In the wake of bad news coming from Crytek we need Unreal Engine.
If you try any of the tests let us know how they run for you. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

QuoteWe would like Unreal Engine 4 on Linux to have the same recognition as Windows and OS X platforms. Our hope is that 3rd party vendors will include Linux when making plugins, addons, or Middleware for it.

Sound is fluent for me in both XCOM, and all the UE4 demos, and I run directly on ALSA. But I also have a proper soundcard (a SoundBlaster Live 7.1; I unfortunately lack ISA slots for the superior SoundBlaster 16), and not some unboard shit.

I'll bet it would have killed them to just put a 2 line shell script at the root of the zip file. ;)

How do i launch/install the demos? here i've downloaded the "realistic rendering" one.

Quoting: GuestQuoting: David BouraHi, i'm really new to linux, so i have a noob question (Ubuntu 14.04):For me simply clicking on the “RealisticRendering” binary works (but this is under Arch Linux). Try launching it from a terminal to see if there is any error message (right click in your file manager -> open terminal here, then type ./RealisticRendering).

Solved 5 mins ago thanks to guys on #unrealengine, i was trying to launch it from Downloads folders.
I understood i have to place this in /home/davidboura/ , for right access.
Thanks for your answer!
