Quoteit didn't even cross my mind that open-source games could also benefit from using Vogl

Of course. Just because you have the source doesn't mean you can immediately see things like memory consumption and in which sequence OpenGL calls are made. As such, vogl is kinda like valgrind for OpenGL.

You all have seen Valve's excellent OpenGL presentation at steam dev days, right?
The VoGL segment starts here.

Quoting: HadBabitsI'm sure you could with a quick search ;) I've only been using Linux for over a year, and while there is quite a bit to learn there are also plenty of resources. Here's a great place to start http://linuxcommand.org/ :D

Wait! don't make it look harder than it is, "right click -> extract" is sufficient to install a tarfile for a closed-source product in most cases.

For open source programs, forget the tar and use the package manager. My Linux amateur users are able to survive without the command line nowadays.

I don't expect it to be usable until GOG will roll out Linux support in the fall.

Well, I found it in my Linux Steam library, having bought it for Windows some time ago. I downloaded all 16GB, but the executable has not yet been made available.

I am patient. I can wait. For a while.

Quoting: AnonymousWine is never a good alternative...especially having to keep a seperate steam installation and switching is really annoying. Still can't get it to work anyway.

But if you want play some title (DX9 mainly with certain conditions) and dont like use windows

You needed if developer make linux port but if developer dont make linux port only remains play on wine, and many games works if you can see my youtube channel

Its more complicated than use windows or use native port but if user wants

Funny thing. I exported one of the examples to see what the engine can do. Compiling went OK. But upon executing the file all I got was an error message in terminal "/home/michal/Downloads/ExeLinux: error while loading shared libraries: libGDCpp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". Just for lols I added the game to my steam library and boom! works fine, with overlay and everything. hmmmmmm...

On my opinion wine on gaming actually is more using on DX9 titles and before (but still issues)

Resuming while users want linux native games and pay for them, many games go on appears in next years

Almost forget steamos and steam machines give more focus on linux native games

:)

Quoting: Bull JohnWhat when I only have the retail box of the game ???? CD Keys won't work as steam keys
:'(

If you have a retail key, you can get the game from GOG here: https://secure.gog.com/witcher/backup
When Linux version will come out, it will appear on GOG. That's going to happen sometime in fall.

well i got it running on Manjaro with one problem (missing lib at first, easy fix) And I did actually used that .deb file (not a problem with dpkg installed, but might be a problem for beginners). Time to see what this baby can do:)

Many thanks Liam for this article! :D

I just wanted to add that if I get enough feedback from people using other distro, I could try to support them also. I just prefer to make sure that the Ubuntu version is fully working and polished before doing anything else. But it seems that GD already work on other recent distro! :)

The goal is not too high indeed, but I prefered setting it to a reasonable amount, as lots of successful crowdfunding campaign manage to overcome this amount anyway!

And I've added "Ubuntu" to the description of the download ;)

what would be cool, it's a multiplayer system when you can meet people from another country and speak/chat with them.

If you only consider it for videogames then yes you can have doubts.
Personnaly I'd like to enjoy a movie like if I where in a real theater. Or think of what would be your multi screen desktops, look around you to reach a window/application you put aside etc.

My biggest doubt about its pratical use is its weight, it can already be painful to wear 3D-glasses at theater so the rift could be worse than that.

Quoting: AnonymousMaybe its the drivers, I am using 331.38

its possible only have test for probe that

Quoting: GuestBuying it purely to run under wine isn't as effective as voting with your wallet and waiting for a native Linux build.

But for now if anyone wish using on linux, can use wine

On my openSUSE 12.3, I just renamed the lib directory, so that none of the supplied libs is used, only system ones. Runs perfectly, without segfault, and with sound (I also had a segfault when using the supplied libs).

And while we're at it, we might as well [url=steamcommunity.com/app/233700/discussions/0/864961721807377307/]continue showing support on this thread[/url] for the Linux port of their turn-based roguelike sci-fi title, Sword of the Stars: The Pit.

This especially, since I already own the game via Humble sale :P

Earthlock : Festival of Magick has been greenlited as well and it looks terrific!
They support Linux and they have a Linux demo as well, though in the title they mention just PC which while correct it needs clarification.

Found this a while back when using Ubuntu 13.04, couldn't get it running right. I could get the demo up, but that took a day. The documentation is seriously scarce and it's up to guess work where to put things. Moreover, I couldn't even manage to import my 3D model from Blender.

Maybe the newer version is better, but if it's as difficult to use as when I last tried it I can't regard Maratis as good as Unity 3D or even Leadwerks.
