    Direct 10 & 11 Games

    Just discovered another game that "should" play but some kind of Direct X 10 overlay is making everything black: Sniper Elite V2 When the level loads I can see everything for a second, then a black tutorial screen appears.... ugh

    Dracula is surprisingly really good. They took the style of Myst Exile and made it high definition.

    Direct 10 & 11 Games

    Please don't try this at home..........

    No problem. Linux is something you have to play with one day at a time. There are so many differences than Windows and lots of questions... can't be done over night. Just to answer your question (an for all the Linux gamers out there) You can get a detailed list of hardware by running this...

    The Lord of the Rings Online Guide

    Ugh, I wonder if they upgraded the visual C to vcrun2015? Are you running it as Windows XP or a newer Windows? I also wonder if the Steam version also uses the the updater/launcher? I've seen some MMO's in Steam where it basically gets downloaded through Steam, but still have to use an...

    Lenovo IdeaPad isn't a good idea

    Thats true... I wonder why the nonprofit Linux puts a "chink" in their armor? Cause Linux has some innovation before Microsoft could even think of it?

    Lenovo IdeaPad isn't a good idea

    Its possible, but why would they even care? Linux is no threat to Windows for the most part. Windows and Mac rule the industry. I know Chromebook is fairly successful... but still a small percentage.

    Drakensang Online Guide

    Unfortunately the website will never see that we want an .exe for the download. So you can just right-click the link, copy it and paste into the address bar, but replace the .dmg with .exe and you will get the Windows installer. I got the mouse bug as well. No fix for it yet.... Please let me...

    Dang, well what hardware do you have? Linux does a great job supporting just about any hardware out-of-the-box. I've never had to install any drivers like you do with Windows. its GREAT! Can you list both machines?

    Lenovo IdeaPad isn't a good idea

    I can't believe computer makers would handicap us with a limited UEFI and SSD. It didn't even have a replacable hard drive. There is an M.2 port for a second hard drive, but it still isn't the bootable drive like the SSD. I just never been so frustrated with installing Linux and I didn't even...

    Do they have a launcher/updater? Is that what crashes or the game it-self?

    Lenovo IdeaPad isn't a good idea

    Please avoid Lenovo IdeaPad and any other laptop/tablet that has eMMC INAND hard drives. Specially the Lenovo IdeaPad 100. It is only $150-$200 and looks beautiful on the outside, but on the inside its nasty! I thought I would post this to warn anyone who is looking for a cheap laptop. These...
