Greetings, FreeBSD version: 10.1-Release Nvidia graphic card: GeForce GTX 760 Nvidia driver version: 346.59 (released just a few days ago) Wine version: 1.8.39 World of Warcraft: 6.1, installed on Windows SET gxApi "OpenGL" - configured in Config.wtf file When I run Wow.exe I get black...

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...

Hello. As linux-base was bumped to CentOS 6.5 I thought if I can try to start something for gaming on my FreeBSD desktop. I'm not a big fan of games, but have something. I found that Civilization V has a Linux version, so I downloaded it. The beginning was sad. ./Civ5XP: /lib/libm.so.6...

Hello FreeBSD Community, I updated my packages via pkg upgrade what replaced my prior java/openjdk7 with java/openjdk6. I want to use java/openjdk7 so I removed openjdk6 via pkg delete openjdk6 and reinstalled all ports which became dependent on openjdk6. That worked for every application...

This is way off topic, but in keeping with my fetish for new OS stuff, I managed to find an allegedly open sourced, former Nintendo company research OS project called "ES". Link: http://code.google.com/p/es-operating-system/ Does anyone have additional info on this?

Whenever I log in with my username and password, then press play, it just crashes and shows this log: [09:19:26 INFO]: Minecraft Launcher 1.4.2 (through bootstrap 5) started on unknown... [09:19:26 INFO]: Current time is May 16, 2014 9:19:26 AM [09:19:26 FATAL]: This operating system is unknown...

Hello all, first time poster and fairly recent FreeBSD convert after jumping from Slackware. Anyway, I've run into a minor issue with using USB gamepads/joysticks on FreeBSD, and was hoping someone could help or alternatively let me know that I should file a bug report (I'd wager the former is...

I have installed via port games/prboom (doom-engine) but it has installed as dependency to run, games/doom-data, which installed the non-free Doom shareware. Why do it not use free doom as a free-software dependency? I have used pkg_deinstall -f doom-data and I removed it, and prboom works fine...

I've noticed that games/xonotic is not in either the official FreeBSD or the PC-BSD pkg repository. It compiles fine, so my guess is that it is in some way blacklisted from being compiled by the poudriere server for inclusion in the pkg repo. Does anybody know if there is a "blacklist" of sorts...

Good morning all (it's about 09:40AM in Italy), I have a Clevo P150SM (http://www.clevo.com.tw/en/products/prodinfo_2.asp?productid=384) custom build configured as follows: * Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ * 16GB RAM * NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 770M with Optimus * 90GB SSD + 1TB HDD * Intel® Dual Band...

So when migrating to FreeBSD, one of the things I wanted to do that I could not in Linux was run PC-9821 games. The emulator for the UNIX and UNIX-like OSes is a port of Neko Project II called xnp2. Its really easy to get it running, but since its not in ports, I thought I'd do a little guide on...

When I opened my inbox this morning I found a typical WTF thread: the (hardly) "offensive" fortune cookies have been kicked out of 10-BETA4. Since I (and many others) find this Just Plain Stupid (tm) I created a port to bring some sanity back into fortune. Anyone running FreeBSD 10-BETA4 feel...

Sony's new PlayStation 4 and open-source FreeBSD: THE TRUTH

Hey FreeBSD guys, I'm hardly trying getting the 1.7.x version of the Minecraft client to work. The games/minecraft-client port currently uses the deprecated 1.4.x branch which can't be used on most servers any longer. So I think we should update the port after we develop a working...

Hey everyone. I'm new to the forums, so I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I noticed the games/minecraft-client port has been a bit problematic since Minecraft 1.6, and the need for a separate FreeBSD profile struck me as needlessly clunky. So I went ahead and wrote my own Minecraft...

I installed SuperTux from ports /usr/ports/games/supertux-devel with the base GCC (I'm not using FreeBSD 10). Everything worked but that version of SuperTux is eating my CPU. It uses more than 50% CPU so that I can't run other program while it is running. Is there any solution to stop SuperTux...

What is the best way for me to run minecraft-server on FreeBSD? The current version of minecraft-server is outdated by several versions, current version in ports is 1.4.7 while the current version they run is 1.6.4. For that reason I cannot run the version in ports. I want to run...
