[QUOTE=T3hGamerDK;38766356]They can, but you'll need to enable support for S3TC in mesa, done by either installing the libtxc_dxtn package, or doing some hacking around with driconf (iirc).
I haven't gotten it to work on my Sabayon systems though :c
Well the 4xxx series is pretty old by now, so uh. My desktop computer, which is about 6 years old, has a 4670 in it. I can see why they've dropped support.[/QUOTE]
Well now I feel old.
[QUOTE=danharibo;38766413]Well now I feel old.[/QUOTE]
I would say that a key to keeping up with modern devices and support is to purchase new hardware about every year, or at the very LEAST every second. But then again, with modern cards not being able to run stuff.. My GPU still runs every single game on the market today, and it didn't cost me any more than about $120 (which is really cheap for a good GPU in Denmark).
Is anyone else having low FPS on TF2 even on the lowest settings? If yes, is there a fix?

If you are using nvidia, Valve recommends you disable "Sync to VBlank" in nvidia-settings.
So far it has been really interesting to read the Linux mailing list, despite how I use OS X most of the time.
Ok I'm really disappointed. Valve & AMD & Intel should understand that most of the gamers who are interested in playing at linux have old hardware rather than new.

I know a lot of people who are interested in playing games on Linux, but don't do it because of the lack of native support. I think the major problem is lack of support in general.
[QUOTE=Matt-;38763378]It did, until they applied the same optimizations to the Windows version. They're pretty equal now.[/QUOTE]
no there were still some difference, and they never applied it to the windows version, they only tested it. We are still running the game in DX
Steam for Linux, that actually is pretty cool.
I hope Valve port the Source SDK at some point in the future. Linux makes such a nice dev environment. Add in game engine SDKs and things will become pretty darn swell.

I had this problem on Linux Mint with Cinnamon, but it works perfectly on Ubuntu. I was using the latest drivers too.

Source 2 is "truly cross-platform" so it's highly likely that the SDK will be as well.

Source on that?
[QUOTE=T3hGamerDK;38800868]Source on that?[/QUOTE]
[i]At this point in time[/i] there is not one I can give you, but this backs it up pretty well:
‣ Source games are being ported to Linux (TF2 is already available and work pretty well!). This means Valve is shoveling in an incredible amount of cross-platform knowledge they can really put to use in making a new engine.
‣ They recently hired [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Lantinga]Sam Lantinga[/url] known for his work at Blizzard, but mostly for being the creator of the cross-platform [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_DirectMedia_Layer]SDL[/url].
‣ Valve have been paying more and more attention to Linux, while being more aggressive towards Microsoft. And have said "Linux is more viable for games than Windows 8".
‣ They have been working together with popular hardware manufacturers on creating a better game platform in Linux by improving the driver code, and the Source engine's code.
‣ The recently teased about Steambox is rumored to run on Linux, and if so will obviously run the latest and greatest by Valve in the future.
Steam doesn't like my low resolution

Many people enjoy looking at the pretty lights when they play games. Lower resoultion = fewer pretty lights to look at.
Any ways to run this through a proxy of some sort? It's blocked at the network I am using [sp]stealing[/sp].

Any luck on getting Steam installed outside of it's normal directory?
[QUOTE=wauterboi;38834200]Any luck on getting Steam installed outside of it's normal directory?[/QUOTE]
Do you mean the Steam binaries and data, or the launcher shellscript? I'm not sure why you'd want to install Steam anywhere but your home directory, but I'm pretty sure you can just move it.
Yes, if you move the folder in your home, it should prompt you to either re-create it or you can tell it where you moved it.
on ubuntu 11.10 (I know), trying to install it, it downloads the .deb, and when I click it opens the software center to its page, however, when i click on install nothing happens. And for the description it says "Dependency is not satisfiable: libjpeg-turbo8"

sudo apt-get install libjpeg-turbo8
I would think the software center tried that already and couldn't find the package
And indeed, the package search repository results state the latest version for 11.10 is [url=http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=oneiric§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=libjpeg-turbo]libjpeg-turbo62[/url]
Basically, update ubuntu

I have tested it on ubuntu, which is the one that runs it best. I used 310 drivers in both.

It's still very easy to do it without updating. But it's better just to update.

Try 32 bit. Valve is using 32 bit.
