Weird. If you installed it cleanly, it shouldn't have thrown any errors if you were just using the Ubuntu Software Center. Auto-resolves dependency issues. I sense PEBCAK issues.
Drivers for ATi(AMD) and nVidia should be able to be installed j… -
NS2 does not currently have a Linux client.
There are no stated plans for developing one, though a Linux server is still on the to-do list (this will not allow you to play NS2 on a Linux system, only to host games for players on Windows… -
I'd also say that the lack of an early release on Steam hurt them significantly, as far as Demigod went; requiring the use of that Stardock software (whatever it was named... can't remember as I'd uninstalled it years ago) definitely didn't do them …

The really interesting bit is the dynamic lighting/shadows they showed in the original.
Far as I remember, Spark can still actually do that stuff in real-time.
I'd really like to see a 'horror' map put in, that would really use the Spark… -
Out of curiosity, exactly what do you feel that adding gore would really bring to the game?
-
Debating which level I want to put in for; while I love the original games (especially TLJ, slightly less-so Dreamfall) and story(/series?) they're loosely based on, I'd rather avoid the 'thank you' phone call. After all, I really don't have anythin…

As expected by the thread creator, *LOCKED.*
If you have an issue with a particular server, take it to their forums or admin-contact point.
The NS forums do NOT allow call-outs; players, server… -
Go for the Gigabyte. Decent name. Had a HIS card in an older system and it was nothing but problems; required custom drivers from their site instead of allowing the use of the reference ones from ATi.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the Rift coming to a commercial release, preferably sooner than later.
The only reason I didn't buy a Dev kit is because 1) The lenses sit so close to the cornea, that wearing glasses is impossible, and 2) th… -
I'll say this once. Remain civil in this discussion; debating what is and is not an exploit is entirely possible, but if I see any more insults being thrown around, those at-fault will receive consequences, rather than getting the thread locked.

(Quote) Well, it does have an 'Awesome' button. Top right.

Again. A Linux SERVER was (and as far as I am aware, still is) on the priority-list. A CLIENT has never even been noted as even a definite possibility, much less a promise.
-
I could so see this one (just the top half) animated, if they continued the orange line around the back into another 'S' shape. Just a ball bearing rolling along. TONS of options for how to use it in an intro sequence (a ridiculous number in fact, i…

The possibility of a Linux client has been requested, but there was no 'promised Linux client'.
Performance continues to improve. Bugs continue to be stomped. There is a public bug tracker, just not on Github.
Quite happy with my purchas… -

Yep. This would just make performance worse.
The engine is already coded as a native compiled binary, and is essentially (sort of) a realtime version of the software rmbrown09 had linked, but with better performance.
It… -
Yep. Using multiple cores isn't as easy as setting the UseMultipleCores=Y flag on the compiler. It's frankly a pain in the backside; some of the easiest stuff to parcel out is unit AI. Of which NS has... almost none. The rest you have to make sure t…

A few thousand, at 9am in the UK on a weekday? You may have confused NS2 with a AAA blockbuster title with a significant/EA-level marketing budget, and built-in fan and competitive following from a recent prequel, rather than a sem… -
Have you tried clicking it? B-)

Incorrect. Take a look at RMClock. An older utility for power-users ONLY; it allows you to force CPU stepping, including disabling certain steps and forcing full-power modes, and disabling some sleep-modes. That said, it can also apparently allow yo…

I'm fairly certain that the hats was just a joke at TF2's expense. Some custom armors are already in the game (Black armor, Green armor, Deluxe armor), so more may be added.
Female marines are still a planned addition, but with the extra codin… -

A gaming laptop is like the tallest midget. It sucks at both sides of the description.
Yes, the gap isn't quite as bad as is used to be (when the average laptop graphics card was an ATi Rage Mobility with 2MB of dedicat…
