I have a spare hard drive with 32bit FreeBSD installation dedicated only for playing some games. Interesting thing is that when i try to set game at high resolution and other graphics stuff i get this very early: And the game crashes. That will be the only output after/before crashing. I was...

Hello! I have an ultimate goal to launch WoW Classic on FreeBSD, or get confirmation that it's impossible. What I have so far: 1. To Install/update WoW client we should use Battlenet client, which is 32bits app. To launch it I installed i386-wine and it was running pretty smoothly. 2. WoW...

Hi! Everytime I try to set custom settings in games/gzdoom such as custom hotkeys, graphics or audio, it works for the current session but it is reset to defaults on the next launch. My settings do not seem to be saved anywhere. I got my wads from Steam if that's of any help, and it doesn't...

I recently updated to 12.2 and a user immediately noticed that fortune no longer works. I know it's not that important, and apparently there was some sort of holy war over inclusion of "offensive" fortunes, which resulted in a change to the default installation. I don't care about any of that...

I have tried to run different emulators on FreeBSD-Current (v. 14), and they all resulted in black screen while playing. So I switched from i915kms to scfb, but that did not fixed anything. I then tried to use a Python one with "pip install nes-py"... but anyway it never tried to install the nes...

Hi all, If you are a fan of Half-Life, you can now easily play this on FreeBSD. I have forked a number of projects in an attempt to make things easier to get up and running without relying on a port (which due to licensing is unlikely to be an option for binary distribution). The following...

Stranded Deep survival game works on FreeBSD via steam-installer (linux steam) Works fine in Medium Settings on an Nvidia 1050ti gpu

It is somewhat inconvenient to have to set up a dedicated user for Steam and then have to switch between users for gaming on Steam with one account and for other activities on another account. The documentation recommends installing Steam on a non-wheel user account. If you try to run...

Yes, I'm a terrible person for duel-booting into Windows 7 to play games. This game is the best thing to come around since Subnautica. I would really like to try the multiplayer. I'll even deal with my Linux-WINE PTSD and try Steam on Freebsd if there's interest in playing this game.

I am wondering if there is some "official unofficial" minecraft setup for FreeBSD (game NOT server)? I've read lots of threads and from my understanding the issue mainly exists in the fact that lwjgl-3 does not exist for FreeBSD but I have seen github repos like this been linked...
