games/gaming

I am encountering some issues running a couple of games. One of the issues is, I believe, with running 32-bit Windows games. For example, if I try to run The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind with FreeBSD Wine compatibility enabled, I get the following error...

The UZDoom (forked from GZDoom, now the successor to it) team is looking to improve UNIX support for UZDoom, but they don't have any maintainers for the BSDs. I don't have enough experience with the way UZDoom works internally (kind of a messy project as it was forked from a complete mess) and I...

My limited knowledge and Google-Fu are not coming together in solving an audio problem that I'm having. I have Steam installed via linux-steam-utils, and it runs great. I have been able to successfully install two games, but I can only get one of them to run. I cannot get the audio to work for...

I am working on a port of qtads. I have it mostly finished and it passes portlint. However, ive noticed that it installs icons to /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor and one of them conflicts with gargoyle. Both of these are interpreters that run interactive fiction games. Gargoyle is kinda of a...

It looks like something is missing on my setup. Native games and applications have 3D acceleration, but nothing with wine or wine-proton. ❱ freebsd-version -kru 14.3-RELEASE-p2 14.3-RELEASE-p2 14.3-RELEASE-p2 ❱ pkg info -qa | grep nvidia libva-nvidia-driver-0.0.14_2 linux-nvidia-libs-570.181...

Hello everyone, i wanted to let you know that I’ve submitted a Minigalaxy port 284721 and since the PR took roots for a long time as expected, I want to give you the opportunity to test it out or simply enjoy it anyway. The port is straightforward and doesn’t have the polish I’d like to add to...

Hey there! I was wondering: Time ago I was starting with FreeBSD and suddenly this application came out. It is supposed to be a bit like Lutris on freeBSD (but for what I remember, it felt more like the GUI for winetricks). In any case, I couldn't use it for much, as my computer at the time is...

I have spent some thoughts about how to arrange information regarding game console emulators which are either added newly to FreeBSD or are getting a meaningful modification. Since I know that there is interest into that topic, and users are unhappy of how for example dolphin-emu forces audio...

Interesting and IMO very good game if you like AGS games.

"Berkeley Forest" finally got it's first Game! "Dȃemon Sequence" ! 🤠 See post on X There are 4 instances in the space. The attached pics show one near the waterfall. Come check it out! !🎉 How to access Berkeley Forest from your browser!

Hello there. This is part 2 of questions I wanted to ask: I went into installing Eduke32 which I am quite certain I installed on an older FreeBSD version, and saw it is not available anymore. I know I can compile from source if needed, but I was wondering that if it was pulled out from the...

Interesting and good made games/pioneer game but it is a lot of reading before start. https://pioneerspacesim.net/

Hi everyone, i have a problem with linux-steam-utlis after the switch to rocky linux. I started to get problems with missing symbols in GTK libraries. so i decided to erase my .steam folder and start from scratch. Problem is, I fail at the installation with an error from steam: Fatal Error...

Hi gang! I started gaming on a Commodore 64, now plenty of years ago, and I've always had a pretty diverse interest / curiosity in games. I enjoy action games, card games, simulations, adventures (Maniac Mansion & Zak McKraken & the Alien Mindbenders were pretty awesome) and... text adventures...

I am using an Nvidia RTX 4090 GPU with the 565.77 driver version. My game I attempt to get to run is Ender Lilies Quietus of the Knights. So far I can get to the "Binary Haze" logo, but after that the game gets stuck with the message "Fatal Error". I tried out wine-proton 9.0.3 and wine 10.0...

Dear all: i want to play Torchlight II in freebsd14.2 without steam , can we do that ? thanks.

I have used linux since 2008 and was really wanting to try out freebsd due to the wonderful documentation. For the most part freebsd does everything that I need it to do but the only thing that has me slightly worried is I still play world of warcraft classic (windows game). In linux it requires...

Hi all BSD Steamers and Lunuxilators, Since linux-nvidia-libs is still not defaulting to linux-rl9 (which is about time i guess :sssh:) I tried to compile it from ports with USES=linux:rl9 instead of USES=linux (which default to linux-c7) It compiled fine and I made a package with make package...

The non-Lazer client works great under Wine! I used a 32-bit prefix, installed dotnet48, and osu! was good-to-go. Latency and A/V sync all feels good without needing to tweak anything. I'm using evdev for my CTH-470, but there's a cool Option with the wacom driver where you can have finger...

For those of us who are interested in computer architecture, there are a lot of interesting architectures from the past that we don't see anymore: the DEC PDP-8 with its 12-bit words and minimalist instruction set, the IBM 7090 with its 36 bit words, character oriented machines like the IBM...
