games/gaming

Hello all, I was hoping to get some help with a new project I have started. The project is called GameBSD. GameBSD is a collection of tools for creating games for FreeBSD. Currently, only FreeBSD 32-bit and 64-bit are supported. I am looking for people to test both the GameBSD Handbook and...

I installed latest 64bit FreeBSD, I installed 32bit version of wine because executables of game are 32bit.. every time i want to run different games this gives me pain: libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast GPU: Nvidia 8600 GT with...

It is possible to have bhyve with Windows and install some AMD, nVidia, or Intel drivers, or graphic card is emulated like a VirtualBox?

For games to work properly on a FreeBSD i3-wm system, is it required to have compositing and/or extensions for games to work correctly?

I can load up the client fine but when I go to play I get this. .minecraft/versions/1.9.2/1.9.2-natives-3265359166302/liblwjgl64.so: Shared object "libm.so.6" not found, required by "liblwjgl64.so" The libm.so.6 looks like it's in the /compat/linux/lib. I'm not sure how I can link this...

Hi everyone, I try to run a Minecraft server on a FreeBSD 10.2. I have a permission issue. I am running FreeBSD in a VM Esxi 6.0, and install the VMware tools. No problem. The minecraft server 1.8.8 was installed following this "old" tutorials ...

I'm interested in using FreeBSD on my desktop, but the keyboard might be a problem. During installation I thought the keyboard wasn't detected at all but after some testing through virtual machines and connecting the keyboard to a FreeBSD laptop, I've found out that 95% of the keys don't do...

Hi, it might sound stupid but what will be the problems if somebody would like to port and Sony Playstation games to FreeBSD? I mean i I know Sony uses BSD, so their games should run natively on FreeBSD or not? I am confused.

Hi, I'm a Linux user(ArchLinux) thinking about switching to FreeBSD. After a bit of googling, the only doubt I have left is what game/multimedia programming libraries are there for FreeBSD. I searched for some and found out that there are sdl and allegro ports, although these libraries don't...

(Posting to the "General" forum because I could not find another forum that was better suited to the topic; feel free to relocate the discussion if it belongs elsewhere) I am developing an application that will run on a server which will be exposed to the Internet; I have persuaded my employer...

I have installed the concurrent version of emulators/i386-wine and so far Wine itself runs fine. I want to play the original Fallout via Wine and downloaded the current version from gog.com. Installation went fine, but at the end of the installation it throws some strange error codes, but...

Sorry if this is on the wrong board, feel free to move it if so. Does anyone have experience with steam dedicated servers on FreeBSD? I imagine it should work, but just wondering if anyone's had luck with it.

Is marked as broken (fails to link). But compiles and installs on 10.2 and 9.3 (i386 and amd64) fine. (with nvidia-driver). Btw: Cannot test foobillard in the Vbox. vbox glx extension not supported by display :0 or MESA-LOADER: could not get PCI ID libGL error: core dri or dri2 extension not...

Hello! Me and a friend are planning to develop a multiplayer game based on Unreal Engine 4. The game engine supports Linux natively, so we tough compile it and use it under a Linux distribution. We came across with a great question mark: choosing between Linux and FreeBSD for best performance...

My kids love that I got Minecraft server running for them (on FreeBSD). But of course when it comes to Minecraft the PS3 version is not compatible with the 'pc' version, which are not compatible with iPOD version, etc. So, does anyone know of any great network based games that (a) are available...

I'm having an issue with playing any 32-bit games on Wine on AMD64. I installed the port emulators/i386-wine-devel and all non-game applications run fine. However, trying to run anything that requires DirectX such as a game causes it to spit out this: $ wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Touhou\...

I hope this is not too off topic. I am interested in trying some strategy based games that are native to FreeBSD, meaning I don't need middle-ware layer to run them in. I am particular interested in non-shooting graphical war room type strategy games as well as some board games. I am also...

EDIT: I am sorry if I am using wrong section to post this topic, but I didn't see a place where I could post problems about gaming. Hi, I know that FreeBSD is not for gaming but i am not willing to play some bloated heavy games, just classics. I am currently playing Chocolate-Doom and...

I have a problem with dosbox-0.74_8 on amd64 10.1-RELEASE: I cannot get any DOS program working on FreeBSD 10.1 amd64, but all works on FreeBSD 10.1 i386 and on Linux (amd64 and i386). "Not working" means as soon as the DOS program is started (e.g. Settlers 2: C:> s2.exe) nothing happens...
