  2. Binaries? by magnetx · · Score: 2

    I bought the game for Win9x, will the Binaries be released so I can play it on Linux without haveing to buy ANOTHER copy? I would really like to play it now that I switched over to Linux. Or is Loki taking to rape route unlike id Software?

    Wow, those graphics look sweet . . . so what is this puppy built on, anyway? SVGAlib? SDL? Glide? Or true-blue OpenGL?

      Wait, so does this mean there is no OpenGL implementation? I realize it's not very useful for anyone besides 3dfx owners at the moment, until DRI is finished, but still! Humph.

      Well, because I don't have a 3dfx card and we can all hope that the G200/TNT drivers will mature in a reasonable amount of time (getting more impressive with every cvs commit). There are hardware OpenGL drivers (through glx), just not the DRI. But if they don't have the version now, I'm a little skeptical that they might not have the OpenGL version ever, though they might surprise me.

  4. Yes, it's bad, but just use the filters by timur · · Score: 2

    I agree with you 100%, but the only solution is to filter out articles on Games. It's really a shame, because I'd like to read more about games as well. Unfortunately, every game article on Slashdot is about Linux games.
