Is someone talking about free beer?:D The problem will be the delivery.:(

Daerendin, on this discussion the guys were pretty confident that and I think they are probably right.

I think we have some good news: GOG.com are going to support Linux Games!

@booman Does Bioshock 2 work with Playonlinux? And if so, are you going to create a guide? I see on your list Battlefield 3, and on ChrisBondWindows' Battlefield 4, I assume those games need Windows or am I completely wrong?

I completely agree with you guys that Quake 4 is clearly better than Doom 3, despite being much less successful on the market, but I would like to remind you that in 2012 Doom 3 was re-released with the BFG edition, which included the original game, the Resurrection of Evil expansion and the new...

Thank you for posting this guide Booman. I had installed Quake 4 back in 2006 on Ubuntu using the installer available at that time, which was very similar to the one you linked to. After the first time, installing the game on a newer version of Ubuntu (or another distro) meant simply copying...

On their website FAQ Well, we all now that PC is a code word for Windows and I guess this is a DirectX 11 game, so I think we are left out.

Searching the web a little I found this Mint page, which links to this Ask Ubuntu tutorial. This way has always worked on my PCs. However, if you are worried about the possibility of screwing up your system, I suggest you clone your root partition with a Clonezilla live cd, just to be safe.

Probably I am missing something, but what do you mean by softer installer? It has been a couple of years since I last used a PPA to install the Nvidia driver, but from what I remember once the repository was added getting the new version was automatic, via the graphical Update Manager or after...

If we are talking about Virtualbox, did you install the extension pack and the guest additions?

This guy has posted on his Youtube channel a video with a few tips but I have no idea if they are related to your issues. Maybe we should wait a little for a more stable version? By the way, welcome to this forum! @booman: If I am not mistaken this is an Early Access Game, which you can buy...

I remember reading a few times on various sites that, if you use (put the name of a distro), you learn (the same distro), if you use Slackware, you learn Linux. I guess Arch must be not challenging enough for you anymore. Good luck with that as well.

Good luck with your online course man, although I have no doubt about the eventual successful outcome.;) Great that you will still be able to stick around this forum! Just a curiosity: couldn't have been possible to put Windows on a virtual machine?

Hi guys, let me ask an obviously noobish question: what is Steam Overlay and how do you disable it?

Mission accomplished! I installed the 35 (!) libraries not present on my system and now Chessmaster 10th edition works on Manjaro 64 too. So another big thank you to Daerandin for his invaluable help.

Fantastic, I will check everything at around 7:00 PM (CET), after going back home from work and the usual evening walk with my dog (can't disappoint a German Shepherd on his most important event of the day:)).

Thank you, there is no harm in trying. I will also compare your list with the lib32 packages installed on my Ubuntu 64bit partition. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if I find out that the reason of this game not running on Manjaro 64bit is completely unrelated to the 32bit libraries.

Rolandttq, I am glad you managed to get the game working. I was able to do the same but I was not successful with Homeworld 2, which always crashes at the start. Personally I never played space RTS games, so maybe it's about time to start, as soon as I finish the games I am playing at the...

Sorry Booman for the late answer but yes, Manjaro has a 32bit version for all their flavors. I agree this is a good test, my first prolonged one away from Debian-based distros, although I briefly tried in the past Fedora and Opensuse. Anyway I think that on my older PCs (a desktop and a laptop...

Hi Daerandin, yes both lib32-dbus and dbus-glib were already installed. Thank you anyway for your time and your suggestions, but luckily this is not critically important. After all, Chessmaster 10th edition runs already on my Manjaro and Crunchbang 32bit, plus Ubuntu 64 bit. However, should I...
