    Games on i3 Arch Linux

    Daerandin corrected me about Window Managers... Openbox is not a Desktop Environment, its a Window Manager which is funny because by default there is nothing but a gray screen. Hence why its not a Desktop Environment, not menu's no buttons, no wallpaper, etc. I haven't found a need for tiling...

    Champions Online - Moving game files from Windows to Wine

    Welcome to the forum! Since Champions Online is made by Cryptic Studios there is a chance you can just copy all of the game files directly to a PlayOnLinux virtual drive and play. I have been playing Neverwinter for a while and have done that before. Initially I played it in Windows and didn't...

    Yeah, I can't wait to play around with Unity and not have to dual-boot.

    Games on i3 Arch Linux

    I'm emailing Daerandin now Unfortunately I have to stick with the Vanilla Mint Cinnamon package because I'm trying to simulate a noob Linux gamer experience with my Guides. I don't mind Cinnamon at all, in fact I really like it and Nemo... Nautilus isn't so bad either. I'm not to picky, but when...

    Sound Problem

    Allen, I linked Cronyk to your "Buffer Underrun" tutorial. So he may have to undo those changes and try something else to fix the audio. I had similar problems which is why I was asking about removing Pulseaudio all together (in another post) We speculated that Pulseaudio is a "dependency" for...

    Games on i3 Arch Linux

    I have not used a tiling windows manager, at least I don't think I have... But I have used Openbox Windows Manager (which can use a tiled setup) for gaming. Can you change your Windows Manager on-the-fly?

    I think you are right, but I'm having a hard time finding any information on how to do it on PC

    Halo Combat Evolved Guide

    With the 1.09 patch the CD ROM is no longer necessary in the drive. So I should be able to install it on two PC's and play cooperative. Is it only two player on PC?

    Why We Want Native Ports Only (Gaming On Linux)

    Totally understood... Its kind of ironic how we complicate something that is simple: Just play the game Just like sports... as a kid we "play" basketball, football, baseball, but it quickly becomes complicated. We focus too much on the resolution, eye-candy and frame rates. It starts to ruin...

    Why We Want Native Ports Only (Gaming On Linux)

    Yes it has been beaten-to-death, which is why I posted about it here. I would love to hear some productive feedback instead of the same old comments. Part of me thinks these articles are about getting information published online and to educate new Linux gamers. Thats about it. The rest of us...

    Why We Want Native Ports Only (Gaming On Linux)

    Here is an interesting read by Gaming On Linux staff: Why We Want Native Ports Only Of course we already know most of the information he is describing. We want native ports for all new games, but what about the old games? Moby Games lists almost 18,000 games for Windows alone. Amazon shows...

    Fallout 3 Guide

    Good, at least you can play without crashing. There are a few games I've had to tweak like this because Wine and driver compatibility have some buggs. You can always try to update your video driver, but I've stuck with the stable Nvidia 331 and haven't had a lot of problems. Sorry about the lack...

    Thanks as always! I'm really having fun with Halo, never played it before and thought I would give it a try.... Its much funner than originally expected

    How's it going?

    So much for an encouraging word on Development (wink wink) ;) Its a crazy world for programmers... The good ones should be paid the most! I just hope the growth of Linux for desktops and gaming will spur-on more conscious multi-platform development.
