anyway i wouldnt worry. the linux nerds are saying it will be out by the end of the summer. a quick glance at my "valve-time-translator" shows that a more accurate estimate would be sometime mid july 2012

Phoronix have been claiming Steam is just around the corner for linux for like 3 years. I wouldn't get overly excited.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=10659&post=191470 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:17:48 +0200 Reply by Sketch https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-10659/page-2/?recent=191565#post=191462 Quoted from dotfloat™

[...] You're willing to be that a unfinished windows emulator is better than a handcrafted native port? (By valve, I might add)

I like the part where you imply that "valve" doing the port will mean that nothing will go wrong. anyway i wouldnt worry. the linux nerds are saying it will be out by the end of the summer. a quick glance at my "valve-time-translator" shows that a more accurate estimate would be sometime mid july 2012]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=10659&post=191462 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:04:38 +0200 Reply by adam-skyride https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-10659/page-2/?recent=191565#post=191455 Wine Is Not an Emulator]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=10659&post=191455 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 00:44:36 +0200 Reply by Dr. Chris https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-10659/page-2/?recent=191565#post=191447 Quoted from dotfloat™

I raged at you calling wine a "windows emulator" Somebody needs to learn when I'm trolling about relative Mac performance. Quoted from Cloud

[...] Wait wait, surely they're not running the game in direct X on the mac? It's openGL is it not? Isn't that the point he was trying to make?

That's correct (at least, I would assume they will use OpenGL on nix, not actually heard about it), but OpenGL is only half of the story.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=10659&post=191447 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 00:29:52 +0200 Reply by dotfloat https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-10659/page-1/?recent=191565#post=191445 Quoted from octochris

[...] how much will you bet that you'll still get better performance with wine than the native port? i'll bet an awful lot.

You're willing to be that a unfinished windows emulator is better than a handcrafted native port? (By valve, I might add) Seriously, I mean, seriously? Think twice before posting. Even Halo 2 Vista works better than its emulated xbox counterpart.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=10659&post=191445 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 00:24:43 +0200 Reply by Cloud https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-10659/page-1/?recent=191565#post=191436 Quoted from octochris
