I've started playing chess recently, and had this idea about creating a computerised chess board consisting of a square touch screen display with chess pieces containing some sort of electronic ID sort that moves could be automatically recorded. I have no idea if such a concept is feasible, if...

Hi! I've been trying to change the sound output to my headsets. Everything I did to try to achieve this goal ends in sound on laptop speakers. Changing the device in pulse audio plugin does nothing to this game. Debugging this game I found that it uses OpenAL and so I did configure a ~/.openalrc...

I'm really wanting to get Cities: Skylines to work but whenever I attempt to launch it, it acts like it's going to then the button on Steam reset back to "Play" and doesn't launch. I can, however, play games like HL 2, HL, Gary's Mod, and Borderlands 2; all through the linux-steam-utils. None of...

I'm trying to get Unreal Tournament running on my FreeBSD 13.2-p4 system. I have an Nvidia GTX 1050 with an AMD Ryzen 5 3400G. I also have the Linux Nvidia libs installed as well. I've got Linuxulator setup. I'm trying to run version 469d without success, so far. I'm stuck at getting ALAudio...

With Cyberpunk 2077 now rated as working well on Mac OS (via Game Porting Tool Kit harnessing Wine 7.7) and Linux via Proton, has anyone tried or managed to run Cyberpunk 2077 on a FreeBSD host, via Wine-Proton or some other implementation? If not, I'd be tempted to cobble together a machine to...

I've been thinking about finally ditching Windows all together in my life. I currently use Windows 10 on my gaming computer. All of the games I'm concerned about do run on Linux (most are on Steam). I run FreeBSD on my secondary desktop and my primary laptop (no dualboot, 100% full time FreeBSD...

Hello all, I am trying to get world of padman to connect over LAN. The games are able to see each other and list each other as available in LAN game list. But the connection has endless retries to connect and never progresses past the connecting screen. This was an issue for me in Fedora as...

A list of my first-person shooters on Artix-Linux, - Assautcube - Openarena - Sauerbraten - Tesseract - Warsow - Wolfenstein: Enemy territory - Xonotic It would be nice if these would also become available on FreeBSD. (I lack C/C++ knowledge)

Any chance of getting urban Terror added to the ports? I followed Vermaden's post for native Urban Terror and it played perfectly. But it would be nice to have the option to pkg install urbanterror. I have an OpenBSD system now and to my shock its available via pkg_add UrbanTerror. Just a...

My primary question: under what subject or port should I file a PR? My secondary question: does anyone know of a fix? System info from uname -mrsv FreeBSD 12.4-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 12.4-RELEASE-p2 releng/12.4-n235816-149768b65d61 JAMESTOWN_AMDX6 amd64 The Problem: Since updating last week...

What are some "good" games available for FreeBSD? Ones that require some brain-work to the end. Or an FPS, somewhat like Call of Duty? Right now the only one I have bothered to install is Mahjong, and I am pretty bored with it by now. BTW, I am 80 years old. Ken

Hi! In my young days Crafty was the best chess engine and as I see it is in the ports still. I didn't play so much with computer because I want to see opponent in front of me but now as an old timer I like to try against computer chess. Are there any new which are good or is Crafty the best...

I can no longer state that I have been fully unsuccessful in getting anything to run in WINE. I'm not sure what I did different this time, but I have gotten two games to run with WINE and GOG Galaxy to run through Suyimazu. I had completely uninstalled all WINE ports and configuration files...

I need this information.

Note : I m not responsible for anything happening as negative Hi its me again. I think FreeBSD is suitable for gaming but Steam refuses to support it but i'm working on gaming possibilities on FreeBSD. So i downloaded SteamCMD and make it work from wine. For some games it works really good...
