    Battlefield 2142 Guide

    I just incidentally stumbled on a message in my email about this, so I'm sorry it's incredibly late. The info for Dethklok's servers is here: http://dethklokclan.enjin.com/bf2142 I think you have 2 problems: Wrong port (correct = 16567), and you should connect by IP and after that only through...

    Do you need a 3D fighting game for Japanese learning on Linux?

    "system will be quite complicated" = The number 1 reason I don't play card games. There are thousands of card games, some of which have extremely over-complex systems. The whole reason for all the turn-based and other mechanisms is that people can not interact as of it were a real battle...

    Reliable Game Giveaways Thread

    I've been finding a lot of free game giveaways in the past few months, and nearly all of them work well with the Steam through Wine install. I thought I'd share the reliable ones that you're nearly always guaranteed a game, and not requiring you to jump through hoops. Really they're collected...

    Origin Monthly? On-The-House (Free) Games

    Since it seems EA's Origin is having monthly Free Game Giveaways, there should be a thread on them, with reminders. Technically, I'm not even sure it is monthly, but it seems that way. https://www.origin.com/en-us/store/free-games/on-the-house *December 2015: Jade Empire Special Edition...

    wine-gaming-nine 1.7.55-2 ArchLinux Star Wars - The Old Republic (Origin)

    Wait, "Star Wars: The Old Republic" is NOT the same as "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic". The first is F2P on Origin, while the second is Paid Only on Steam, GOG. I love how they like to confuse people with their names. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_The_Old_Republic

    Installing Guild Wars 2

    Oops, I lost track of this. Yeah, in general disabling StrictDrawOrdering helps with FPS in many games. You can always fiddle with some of the more useful registry keys that have been collected over the years in "UsefulRegistryKeys" (I think PlayOnLinux has the options somewhere?)...

    Installing Guild Wars 2

    I'm using Wine. Well, I would say solely the white "Launcher" that's started by Gw2.exe in "Program Files/Guild Wars 2/" is having the memory leak so far. The installer that's downloaded only puts a few files in Program Files and then automatically runs Gw2.exe in "Program Files/Guild Wars 2/"...

    EUREKA! I found a good way to download without virtually any memory leak at all! winestaging-1.7.38 *Download/Patch without Launcher: unset HISTFILE wine ./Gw2.exe -dx9single -autologin -nopatchui -email <your-email> -password <your-password> -windowed -image *Run without Launcher: unset...

    Installing Guild Wars 2

    *Not on Steam and likely never will be thanks to Valve's new terms: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2745308&highlight=guild+wars *The Wine AppDB listing mentions the recommended version: 1.7.38 , particularly the wine staging version. I'm not sure how to get a double...

    Installing Guild Wars 2

    Ummm... there might be a slight problem. I was trying to download with the GW2 Launcher today, and after an hour or two, the RAM ran out. I have 8 GB of RAM and the game only required 2 GB, so it's a memory leak, memory not being cleared properly. It's been reported since long...

    Installing Guild Wars 2

    I actually haven't had the chance to find out yet as it still takes a little bit of setup, and I expect there will be some crowding to download it since the news is only a couple of days old. However, the system requirements indicate 25 GB total. It's likely the download is considerably smaller...

    Installing Guild Wars 2

    Just a heads up: Guild Wars 2 now has a Free To Play (F2P) version of the game you can download. It has some restrictions if you see below at "Account Type Comparison", but you can essentially reach "end game" with a free account. Info: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/play-for-free-today/...

    Alien vs. Predator 2

    About the number of people playing, see for yourself: http://www.tbbcbase.net/serverlist Hmmm, I keep reading in so many places that it runs fine right off the bat. I have to figure out what's so different.

    Flash and Unity Browser Games Guide

    Hmmm, the best I can recommend is viewing the crash reports to figure out what's wrong: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mozillacrashreporter?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Mozilla+Crash+Reporter#w_viewing-crash-reports Apart from that, you can make sure Flash is up to date, and use...

    Just as a side note, I can try out those games to see if they still work. (Translation: Now that I take a good look at those screenshots, they are amazing! Where are those games!? I want them!)

    Alien vs. Predator 2

    I know this is a bit old, but I'm not having success in getting it to work right. I installed the Online Multiplayer patch at AvPUnknown.com (alternate master server system), but I can't seem to set the controls. They set in the Shared fine, but the Alien, Predator, and Human controls turn to...

    Battlefield 2 & Patches Guide

    Yeah, but that's why there are volunteer maintainers: To clear up bad reports. Although it's meant as "communicate with the submitter about the report". I got in trouble a while back for deleting someone's report about an error that was also happening in Windows that was solvable (which I...

    Flash and Unity Browser Games Guide

    I don't try the newer Firefox versions because they're completely different in layout and it's hard to change them to a classic or even comfortable layout. They're stupidly trying to clone Chrome. The normal versions are also unstable. The ESR series is much more stable and secure. I just hope...

    Battlefield 2 & Patches Guide

    I think it's the Refractor 2 Engine, because it seems to have the same engine as Battlefield 2. In fact, there are custom maps that directly use Battlefield 2 resources, destructible bridges, boats and all. The game settings are identical except for a couple of keys. If you don't have it, I...
