Team Fortress uses OpenGL on Linux. --- End quote --- i just remember a lot of guides about setting dx arguments when setting up something like that for linux. i guess that's what it does on linux? |

--- Quote from: The Murderous Cop on March 12, 2017, 04:42:52 PM ---in the case of TF2, it runs natively on linux. however, i'm unsure if there's any way to use it on dx8/9 or something. unsure what it even uses. the computer also has like 2GB of ram, so that's something. --- End quote --- You can't use DirectX on Linux but TF2 does have an OpenGL powered Linux port. From what I've heard, though, it runs poorly. |

Some distros make it run like crap and some make it run very smooth and fast. |

I've never had any issue using any valve's linux game ports. I think the key is making sure you have drivers specific to your hardware rather than the noveao drivers. --- Quote from: The Murderous Cop on March 12, 2017, 04:45:52 PM ---i just remember a lot of guides about setting dx arguments when setting up something like that for linux. i guess that's what it does on linux? --- End quote --- If I had to guess, those guides were written before valve made their linux ports (it's only been like four years I think?). The linux versions use opengl so that they run natively on linux without needing wine. |
