On: SteamOS: What we know so far and what to expect

[simoncion]

NS2 is currently ported and works on Linux. They have an OGL, D3D9, and D3D11 renderer for the game: http://unknownworlds.com/ns2/reinforced-expansion-released/ (Search for "OpenGL")

But it's AFAIK unplayable because of abysmal performance and random crashes.

Yikes. It is unplayable on ATI cards on the latest Ubuntu. I'll try rolling a Gentoo install to see if the latest work on Mesa makes any of that shit better.

FWIW, the OGL renderer works fine on Windows, albeit more slowly than the D3D9 renderer.

So it's just like the Windows version?
