I always have to workaround problems with new media- and gaming-keyboards or mouses. I can't run them well enough for office-usage or gaming. I can't configure my keyboard-illumination and no media-keys are working, special keys are also not running. Very similiar to mouses, the old mouse-driver...

FreeBSD amd 64 11.1-p9, nvidia-driver-390.48, linux_base-c6-6.9_6, Geforce 750 GTX, all packages up to date. I have always played all Linux games on that machine, but since some update of packages in the past, absolutely NO Linux game works anymore on that machine, I don't know if that is due...

Maybe you're starting to get sick of my posts, because often I am a little bother. But now I need help to accelerate a game, called games/nexuiz , and another called games/xonotic. Both run EXTREMELY low on my PC. The program didn't freeze, but it has a delay of the movement both the pointer of...

In case anyone is interested in some tech demo's/samples for UE4, I've been busy porting the engine and compiling most of the samples. A few are included here. These are all based on my personal fork of UE4, there is no support for FreeBSD in the official Epic repo. (edit: see the Unreal...

Have not heard a thing about the steamonfreebsd project in a while now. From what I can tell, the project is defunct. Is that the case or are there ways to get it working?

Can somebody give me some names of games that runs well in this OS? Version: 11.1-RELEASE-p6. I think that it's the latest. Processor: I think i386. To the day of day, still I don't have very clear what my processor is. But somebody time ago give me a clue. The games could be from Linux...

I am looking to make an old school style game such as NES games like super mario or elevator action. I've been searching around the internet for programming graphics on the terminal on unix but I haven't seen anything that I think is what I need. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get...

Greetings. After asking a question on wineHQ I got this answer and thought I'd check here what it means: After looking at this (which does indicate that your baseline hardware acceleration is working), I did some poking around. The issue looks like something I've run into a few times with Linux...

These are some of the engines that I briefly checked out. The links lead to the part of the codetrees that contain OS specific support, not the root of the codetrees. There're many other engines, but I left out engines who either did not have code repositories online, were for specifically for...

Good evening, With regards to the performance of two 3D games in particular (Minecraft and SuperTux Kart, both installed from the ports tree, and the only two games I've tried thus far) that the performance is far inferior than when I ran these games on Linux (same machine). The framerate of...

Has anyone succeeded in getting original Playstation 2 Dualshock 2 controllers to work with FreeBSD? I have two PS2 Dualshock analogue controllers, and a cheap USB adapter from ebay. It all works fine on PS2 / Windows (with adapter), so I know it is not a hardware issue. My issue is this: The...

Is wow64-support for wine in the works? Wine supports wow64 since years but many distro's didn't seem to implement this very well or not yet. Winetricks is also not working for 64-bit wine, since there is more and more applications who drop x86 support i start to need it. There is no...

Hello, I'm using FreeBSD/i386 to easily build the lastest Wine version. It is for test purposes, I want to improve FreeBSD compatibility in Wine but I saw that FreeBSD/i386 will only use 2 GB of RAM which is clearly not enough for Wine. Every big games like Skyrim, DOOM 3, Quake 4 and so much...

I use steam via wine on FreeBSD a lot but yesterday it randomly quit working. I noticed it no longer launches at all on my other machines as well, any other steam users experiencing a similar issue? I am not looking for tech support here but I can't be the only one

Hey, kinda new to freeBSD. Major DosBox fan and I need it to use the "dynamic core" option to run games smoothly or they are choppy or slow. Linux version runs smooth, but FreeBSD port hangs when I try to start a game with this option. I got this error in the terminal " Illegal read from...

What engine can I use to play the games/doom-wolfendoom? And how do I load its .wad files?

Hi friends, I'll just preface by saying that I am fairly new to FreeBSD. Thus far i have really been enjoying it. I'm an indie games developer and I'm wanting to port my projects over to FreeBSD. Are there any well known 2D Game Libraries on FreeBSD? I know SDL2 works on Windows and Linux but...

It's no secret that Sony Playstation 4 works on FreeBSD 9.0, it was never a secret, even userland software that came with FreeBSD and was ported to PS4 was listed before the console even was out. And today Nintendo Switch was released. Nobody actually reads licence agreement that much, everyone...
