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...

This is small howto for games/ags, the Adventure Game Studio engine. It gives us access to many old-school adventure games on FreeBSD. It is not immediately obvious how to run games with it, so I thought that a short howto on the forums is a good idea. Many games come with a Windows setup...

So I am able to start the launcher, & have been having trouble getting the game to start, I'm using a script from https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/42932/#post-339117 in order to get java working but now it seems there is another issue. ---- Minecraft Crash Report ---- // Why did you do that...

Hey, I am thinking about investing in a video game console. I want to get the PS3. I am always at least one generation behind when it comes to video game consoles just because it is a lot cheaper than to have the latest technology. I have a PS2 that does not play too nicely with my HDTV and I...

Hey everyone, I have been using FreeBSD 11 for a couple of weeks now as a desktop system and so far it is going well. However, I am a bit at a loss when it comes to installing Linux games obtained from GOG.com using the Linux compatibility layer. I have followed the instructions in the handbook...

Just wondering, is anyone here running Cities: Skylines on FreeBSD using the Linux Steam client? I am currently building a dedicated FreeBSD box and that would be one killer game I'd like to play (I love city building games).

Hello all, I was hoping to get some help with a new project I have started. The project is called GameBSD. GameBSD is a collection of tools for creating games for FreeBSD. Currently, only FreeBSD 32-bit and 64-bit are supported. I am looking for people to test both the GameBSD Handbook and...

I installed latest 64bit FreeBSD, I installed 32bit version of wine because executables of game are 32bit.. every time i want to run different games this gives me pain: libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast GPU: Nvidia 8600 GT with...

It is possible to have bhyve with Windows and install some AMD, nVidia, or Intel drivers, or graphic card is emulated like a VirtualBox?

For games to work properly on a FreeBSD i3-wm system, is it required to have compositing and/or extensions for games to work correctly?

I can load up the client fine but when I go to play I get this. .minecraft/versions/1.9.2/1.9.2-natives-3265359166302/liblwjgl64.so: Shared object "libm.so.6" not found, required by "liblwjgl64.so" The libm.so.6 looks like it's in the /compat/linux/lib. I'm not sure how I can link this...

Hi everyone, I try to run a Minecraft server on a FreeBSD 10.2. I have a permission issue. I am running FreeBSD in a VM Esxi 6.0, and install the VMware tools. No problem. The minecraft server 1.8.8 was installed following this "old" tutorials ...

I'm interested in using FreeBSD on my desktop, but the keyboard might be a problem. During installation I thought the keyboard wasn't detected at all but after some testing through virtual machines and connecting the keyboard to a FreeBSD laptop, I've found out that 95% of the keys don't do...

Hi, it might sound stupid but what will be the problems if somebody would like to port and Sony Playstation games to FreeBSD? I mean i I know Sony uses BSD, so their games should run natively on FreeBSD or not? I am confused.

Hi, I'm a Linux user(ArchLinux) thinking about switching to FreeBSD. After a bit of googling, the only doubt I have left is what game/multimedia programming libraries are there for FreeBSD. I searched for some and found out that there are sdl and allegro ports, although these libraries don't...

(Posting to the "General" forum because I could not find another forum that was better suited to the topic; feel free to relocate the discussion if it belongs elsewhere) I am developing an application that will run on a server which will be exposed to the Internet; I have persuaded my employer...

I have installed the concurrent version of emulators/i386-wine and so far Wine itself runs fine. I want to play the original Fallout via Wine and downloaded the current version from gog.com. Installation went fine, but at the end of the installation it throws some strange error codes, but...

Sorry if this is on the wrong board, feel free to move it if so. Does anyone have experience with steam dedicated servers on FreeBSD? I imagine it should work, but just wondering if anyone's had luck with it.

Is marked as broken (fails to link). But compiles and installs on 10.2 and 9.3 (i386 and amd64) fine. (with nvidia-driver). Btw: Cannot test foobillard in the Vbox. vbox glx extension not supported by display :0 or MESA-LOADER: could not get PCI ID libGL error: core dri or dri2 extension not...

Hello! Me and a friend are planning to develop a multiplayer game based on Unreal Engine 4. The game engine supports Linux natively, so we tough compile it and use it under a Linux distribution. We came across with a great question mark: choosing between Linux and FreeBSD for best performance...
