Unreal Engine 4 Now Has Linux Demo Games To Try

The "stylised" demo is not working very well here, with the open source drivers and a Radeon HD 6670. Everything is rendered in yellow, and the sun graphics/textures come out with a black sun outline on a yellow square.

Quoting: berarma
Quoting: vultureseems time for me to finally say goodbye to 9800gt ;) everything requires shader 1.5 so i only see black screen
What do you mean? I think my 9800GT supports OpenGL 3.3 and GLSL 3.3, am I wrong? I don't see why they shouldn't work.

yep, my bad didn't notice i looked up glx version... sigh. still, screen is black without crashing and i can listen to music. only one that crashes in 10sec is reflections

How did you test them mate ?

Yes, they work fine on my desktop with a GeForce GT 630. At leas the Mobile Temple does.

Very different visuals from what you usually see.
But yeah, the HDR takes some getting used to, and the motion blur makes me sick.

Also, it's a bit weird seeing the mirror effect vanish right at the edge of my FOV. Especially noticable when turning quickly and the mirror effect needs an extra frame to appear.

Man this is just awesome.
All demos worked flawlessly on my rig, even in windowed mode, and they look mighty good too.

Try the sci-fi scene: You can even read the small words on the poster!

-1 for Disqus. It's a horrible piece of carp that's only topped by IntenseDebate and (*gag*) Discourse.

Fair enough, Liam. So back to the topic, how should Nvidia 600 series cards handle this?

Blocking an IP does nothing when such spammers rotate their IP address with ease. Disqus will also not happen as it will be handing all our our data over to a 3rd party and I will literally have no control over it if anything ever happens to them.

I appreciate the feedback however, but feedback should be left in the forum not a random article comments ;)

@Admin,

I think your sites visitors / commentors has suffered since you let that spam kiddie force you into removing guest comments.

If its true he only was spaming from home, You should have simply isolated his IP address and "blacklisted" it from viewing the website at all.

Anyways, perhaps I don't have all the facts, but that's how I see it .02 It took me 2 weeks to register and many others I'm sure won't register at all just because the pain in the ass it is.

Or you could have simply setup Disqus which can sync comments with various CMS like WordPress and probably Drupal as well.

Like I said - just .02, good job on everything else.

Well, I tried "elemental" and it ate half of my ram (about 2GB) and I had some slowdowns (not important) when changing the scene. I hope when they release unreal torunament it eats less resources, otherwise I will have to upgrade. The demo level is small.

I suppose that this is the most demanding demo of all, and most of the games will not require a hight end machine.
Phenom II 955, 4GB ram nvidia 660. With arch, and I had to configure openal to use alsa (which is a wrapper from pulse to use alsa programs).

Quoting: DrMcCoyWell, that Mobile Temple Demo just says "Aborted" on my laptop.
To be fair, it has only a GM965 card, with OpenGL 2.1.

Gonna see what my desktop says later this evening.

Me too, it shows that error on all the samples i tried, my PC has HD7850

Quotebut it doesn't look like 32bit will be officially worked on due to Unreal themselves focusing on 32bit.

Um...:D
Civilization: Beyond Earth Has A Windows Release Date, Linux Now Unconfirmed
By oldrocker99, 7 July 2014 at 2:05 pm UTC
If Aspyr, which did the AAA Linux port of CIV V, is doing C:BE, that is nothing but good news. I waited four years for a Linux port of CIV V, and three years for X-COM. It's not like I don't have games to play in the meantime:).
Legions of Ashworld Strategy Game Now On Steam For Linux
By oldrocker99, 7 July 2014 at 2:01 pm UTC
This is indeed a hard game, but pretty unique in that it's TBS with an open world. Pretty steep learning curve, but then, I'm a Dominions player:D.

Yeah they switched and claimed a rather big performance boost. Cannot wait to see it in action.

Not sure if alot of people know this but that game that has been in early access for a while called "Centration" was switched to UE4 a while back.
Crytek In Trouble, Could Be Bad News For Homefront On Linux
By killx_den, 7 July 2014 at 12:46 pm UTC
Quoting: BeamboomWTF, Crysis 2 was a bad game? Get outta here. It is my favourite shooter of recent years.
And the multiplayer in that game were awesome.

imo Crysis 1, 2 were bad games and what I have read from the third one so far doesn't make it any better. I think I'd rather play another CoD game (which isn't fun either)

I mean the graphics were really nice but the gameplay sucked like hell.
Don't Buy Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition Yet
By Imants, 7 July 2014 at 11:48 am UTC
Quoting: Yu0On the other hand they should at least give a significant discount for a purchase on a new platform, since while the native Linux client adds value, it adds value more on the level of a DLC than a full game.

Totally agree if you already have windows version then they should give should give discount on Linux version.

Hopefully this kind of stuff will happen on GOG as well. Capsized doesn't even have the Mac OS client on GOG currently.
