Blocklands runs great on Linux!!

[lcyGamma]

no, you don't get it
I can't run anything below minimum

Sorry but you didn't make that very clear.

You can't turn it off? :s

Bizarre. But your card is good for nothing but powering a potato so...

for me, blockland run pretty well on wine (linux), better than windows, i never crash, really!

There is no way in hell Blockland is magically more stable in WINE.

Placebo.

It's been proven somewhere that some programs combined with Wine work just as good or better on Linux than Windows. Anyways, I didn't know Torque supported Linux, espicially how old the engine is, that's pretty cool. I don't think we need full Linux support since the whole game works with Wine, if anything we could use a dedicated server but someone has discovered to that as well. Someone also stated there are a lot of different versions, Badspot could just make it for the kernels based on Debain, kind of mean but those are the most used. (ubuntu, Linux mint and maybe some others)

No no, Blockland isn't unstable because of Windows. I've only ever had crashes related to iffy add-ons or the host screwing with the game-- anything else is likely to be hardware / driver related.

There is no reason why that crash wouldn't occur in Linux.

And if anything does happen to run "better" in WINE, its not WINE I bet-- probably just because there is potentially less bloat using Linux than Windows, so it is shown in performance.

Feel free to share some research into this, I am indeed curious.

I used blockand on like, 5 differents windows computers, got random crashes sometimes. Never crashed using linux. I use it since months now, and i still have no crashes. Thats all.

I've gotten some pretty handicapped crashes on Ubuntu, it seems that after 11 it was more crashy/buggy, yesterday I got the crash where all the UI gets removed like iexplorere.exe on windows.

I usually prefer Linux Mint, which is build on Debain and Ununtu and I never got those UI crashes so basically you get all the features from Ubuntu but a completely different UI.

I'm probably going to lock this or just keep it here and stop responding back just because basically my questions and discussions are done.
