    SHOUT BOX :D

    I'm still having a hard time with IRC chats. I usually forget to check it and I can only be on IRC from 5am to 7am When I'm at work, the firewall blocks the ports IRC uses. So I cannot chat during work hours. This is one reason a homepage shoutbox would be useful. Since it would be browser-based.

    So when GLSL is enabled you get these errors and it crashes from time-to-time? When you turn off GLSL what happens? Cool, since Torchlight II works, that means you have the 32-bit libraries and proprietary drivers installed. Did you do that Production_Config.ini fix? Maybe try another version...

    Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis

    This is not a Linux game, but I've been wanting it for a long time. Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis I've played the demo and really loved the premise! Its a management game where you build a park of dinosaurs, but make a mistake and they eat the visitors. If you see Operation Genesis anywhere...

    What is the Linux Community About?

    I don't know why anyone would expect everything in Linux to be free? I know Linux has a lot of free programs and is free its-self... But money makes the world go around. I am more than happy to use free programs and games. I have no problem with that (raising a family is no easy job)... But I...

    I'm playing PoE with GLSL disabled. I have not experienced any graphical gliches. I've also been playing for a long time without any crashing. I'm at Act 3. I have a feeling it is driver related because the game runs perfectly for Mint 17 64-bit and Nvidia drivers. Holte420 - Can you post the...

    What is the Linux Community About?

    I wouldn't hurt ;) The worst that can happen is you can learn something new. My plan is to eventually weed-out all of my Windows and be 100% Linux. I don't know how long that will take, but sacrifices will have to be made. There are some games I won't be able to play, and some program I won't...

    What is the Linux Community About?

    The only way I could use Linux at work would be using Remmina to remote into our server so I could use our software. Otherwise, hardly anything would run. I work at a newspaper and all their software is super old. ODBC, Sybase, proprietary software... none of it will run on Linux.

    What is the Linux Community About?

    Dude, reboot and play! These days I can't imagine not using Linux at least once a day. Every time I try a game with my Wife and kids, I always try it in Linux first. I'm even becoming quite the GIMP guru as well. Finally putting Photoshop behind me. Did a few print projects for Church and only...

    What is the Linux Community About?

    I also think it is our human curiosity that loves controversy. Media loves controversy because we love hearing about it. So one guy that trolls and harasses gets all the attention. I know Windows and Mac has its controversies as well. Its something we all have to live with. I'm not going to...

    Bioshock 2 Guide

    I didn't really think about the desktop environment causing memory leaks. Has that happened before? I can easily test Bioshock 2 in Openbox and report my results.

    Thanks MrDeathJr! With textures set to Medium it runs fine every time I played it. I will continue testing with Newer versions of Wine to see if the Memory leak is fixed.

    Thief Gold Guide

    I've seen this before with a few games. Mostly UDK games because they leave the UDK.exe to launch their game. There is a 32-bit UDK.exe and a 64-bit UDK.exe But PlayOnLinux does't differentiate which one is which... In that case I would just click "browse" and find the one I want for the...

    I'm curious why PlayOnLinux found the Thief.exe but in the ddfix folder? I've never had a problem with shortcuts in PlayOnLinux. Is it because the patch changed some directories?
