    Sir, You are being hunted

    Dang, really looks like a cool single player FPS. I know its a stealth game, but should be some shooting too. $10 is still above my budget. Hell I got 6 games on Humble Bundle for $6.00 Can't beat that! I really wanted to see the brush move when the characters walk through it. Like in Far...

    Greetings to all

    Awe man! I really need your help:D As you can see I don't own a whole lot of strategy games. We only have one guide for Dawn of War and thats all. I would love to see more Guides on strategy games... that would be awesome! Specially the classics like Starcraft, Warcraft II, etc. New ones too...

    Painkiller Hell and Damnation released for Linux

    Its a good time to be a Linux gamer! I'm not a "huge" fan of Painkiller but "Hell and Damnation" is the first one with cooperative. So I will eventually pick it up.

    Prime World ?

    Looks like a cool game. Is it real-time-strategy and tower defense? I was hoping it is more RPG style, but I don't think so from the video I watched. Man, 4 Gig download. I guess thats better than the 12 Gig downloads I've seen with other games.

    Path of Exile goes Live!

    I hope not. I really like my character. Yeah, its an awesome game. I'm going to wait and see how the first release goes. I'm too busy testing games, making guides and playing Neverwinter.

    Prime World ?

    No problem. Thats why I'm here. If it looks like Prime World is still needing dotnet, they will install and work in PlayOnLinux. Its tedious to install them, but it does work. The first thing to installing dotnet is using Wine 1.5 or earlier Then install dotnet20 first After it installs, next...

    Path of Exile goes Live!

    October 23 is the day! End of beta! They are advertising a bunch of paid-packages to start you off, but I hope it continues to be free-to-play. Path Of Exile

    Prime World ?

    Nice, I'm glad they actually offered a page with the required libraries. When it downloads, try to find the download location so you can back it up instead of downloading it again next time. Maybe just copy the files to your desktop as a backup. Now try using a stable version of Wine first...

    Alien vs. Predator 2

    Here are a few ways, but none of them are guaranteed: Google the System Requirements & dynamic link libraries for the game Search the game folder for "redist" or anything that could be extra. Look for d3dx, dotnet, vc-redist and other files that can represent Windows components to be...

    Alien vs. Predator 2

    Same experience with me too. I originally tried scripts and they didn't work. So I started messing with the manual installation and found that I had more success. I think the scripts originally worked when they were tested, but then Wine keeps changing, the libraries keep getting updated and...

    Alien vs. Predator 2

    Thank you for confirming that our Guides are actually working. What Distro are you running? I wasn't able to run Bulletstorm, but its still on my shelf. How did you get it to run?

    Steam Machines

    It should run in time. Wine is always in constant development. I still have to try the free-to-play version too. Sometimes certain games require a "patched" version of Wine to get it running. Me too with family. I spend more time testing games than actually playing them. But I devote about...

    Steam Machines

    Very nice! Did you see Daerandin's post? He's got something like 200+ games I think he's in a different boat completely. He has to make a decision to scrap some games completely, or figure out how to run them in Linux. The only other choice is keeping Windows around. Lucky for me, I have...

    Steam Machines

    Unfortunately you are right. Most gamers don't want to mess with Wine and extra steps, but if it means running your favorite game in Linux, there is no other way. I have come to terms with PC gaming and Linux is my future. Even though some Windows games don't run perfectly, its better than not...

    Steam Machines

    I love watching her videos! She's very convincing... I know she didn't go into detail, but she makes some good points. I know a main concern for Windows users is "will it play my Windows games?" Maybe SteamOS will run PlayOnLinux or maybe we can just install our own Distro. Windows users will...

    Alien vs. Predator 2

    Oh thank you! I had no idea the AvP2010 was a different game from AvP 2. Strange that the older one is having problems, but the newer one works. Probably game engine limitations. Is AvP 2010 made with Unreal Engine? Thanks for the Reddit.com address. I'll be checking there more often. I had...

    Greetings to all

    Very nice! We need you! Your 200+ games and my 150+ games would mean hundreds of Guides. Not that I would expect you to do that many of course. Whatever you can do in your spare time is good with us. I would love to see your list of games. Did you see my Dawn of War: Dark Crusade guide...

    Video on demand - which do you currently use?

    Of course... I was just joking. I use Wine with PlayOnLinux for every game I test. Good point... a guide for running plugins like Unity 3D

    Very interesting. Needs Wine! I remember some program called Wine...

    League of Legends Guide

    Then its going to be a waiting game. There are many many posts on the PlayOnLinux forums about League of Legends. So I'm sure the devs are working on a "store" version of 1.7 for us. I'll keep checking too. Seems to be a common problem with every update they make. I wonder what the problem...
