What about gaming on FreeBSD?

scf@ said:
When you say port, you mean with the patch from the issue applied, yes? It will not work without it as it was tested against Centos 7 libraries at that time. The port in the repo has not been updated by me since 2017.

More questions:
  • What version of FreeBSD are you using?
  • Do you have the nwdata port installed? If yes, which version? I have "nwndata-1.61". That one matches the Diamond edition, otherwise, it will be 1.29_3 for the original version.
  • With the patch for linux-nwnclient, I have "linux-nwnclient-1.69_6". Is yours that version?
  • What Linux SDL libraries are installed for you? I have:
    • linux-rl9-sdl-1.2.60
    • linux-rl9-sdl12-extralibs-1
    • linux-rl9-sdl20-2.26.0

My nwndata is at 1.29_3, the rest should be the same as yours. Illegal instruction. I'll check with core dumps and debugging later.
I had, after applying the patch, run a "make makesums" as the checksums were not matching. Running 15-stable, btw.
 
Diablo III mostly works!

Battle net client is broken (can't log-in; crash dialog spam, most windows don't render), but restoring D3 from backup seems fine, and it has Bnet email/pass login at main menu (likely don't need Bnet client if restored D3 files are patched up-to-date)

Not sure what's up with high RAM/swap, but I didn't notice while playing :p

Apparently Bnet client crashing is some CEF/window thing that's fixed on Staging (not Vanilla Wine)
