What games do you play on Devuan??

jobbautista9 · 2020-07-26 09:33:11

I play Endless Sky, which in Debian (and in extension, Devuan) for some reason is still in 0.9.8 both in stable and unstable, despite the current upstream now at 0.9.12. Thankfully building a newer .deb package for 0.9.12 is not hard. If you played Escape Velocity before, you will surely love Endless Sky.

I also play Minetest (with the MineClone 2 mods), console Tetris (bastet and tetris-bsd in bsdgames), Pacman (pacman4console), and Snake (the one included in bsdgames). All of them are available in Devuan repos.

Teeworlds is a no-gore mulitiplayer shooter. It is opensource (C++) with easy configurable skin and map files.
There 50+ live servers to be found.
If you use old hardware - install glxgears to check if your graphics card it up to it.

i dont play much games these days but i wanted to share some interesting projects with you
they work fine on devuan, but in both cases you need the original game files somewhere on your disk

OpenRTC2 lets you play the original RollerCoaster Tycoon 1+2 natively under linux, with enhaced graphics and other tweaks
it also has a multiplayer with up to 64 players

CorsixTH is similar but for the classic Theme Hospital game

~ late 90s / early 2000s isometric graphics were peak gaming ~

Recently, installed 3.1, & added Xshisen & Xpat2 for my time wasting.

I play Kerbel Space Program with several patches, especially Real Solar System and KOS (Kerbal operating system - scripted take offs, etc..). It's on Chimaera with latest kernel, mono (I know, I know...) so that I can play the Linux version. It's awesome creating rockets to blast off, orbit earth, goto the moon, descend, etc... ).
I also play OpenRTT (rail road Tycoon) several Linux flavor real-time-simulations, etc..

Short Answer; Aisleriot Solitare or Tetravex for quickies. Recently Widelands, but currently chasing up stuff like Runescape, Rift. Tera & WoW, which at various times I've had running under Linux.

Simce i've been retired($ work) for 15 years and wider community projects (~5 years) and have no interest in the idiot box mindless podcast, there is only the garden, etc and games. Especially when it is inclement weather.

Currently, Linux has a whole host of 'native' games to locate(aptitude search games) and explore. Many are historical and thus non-taxin g on any system. a lot suffer from lack of documentation. A few, variously do not work.

If you are looking to install MS OS games, then search PlayOnLinux first as there whereitall may be there to just run and enjoy. If you have any scripting abilities and there is nothing there for your game, look for something similar and see if you can adapt it. My fiddle today was rolling a beta script to install Skydome ( a newy from Gamingo/Trion Games) installed enough to be able to install it under PoL and decide it isn't my type of game ( Ranked FPS blech!).

Unfortunately, the offerings unde PoL are very much shiting sands as distros change and worse, the game requirements change, so ATM WoW BattlelNet doesn't install and work.

At one stage there were CDs/DVDs of commercial Linux games where the only trouble was changing libraries. This seems to have all disappeared undera flood of arcade style shooters through Steam, which requires a subscription. If using Steam, Gog, Humble Bundle and the like is your style, then Lutris is probably what you could use to centralise all their games..

I still play nethack. And sometimes I set up a docker container for a drunken round of Suicide Linux.

alphalpha · 2021-06-11 11:43:42

Just found out that Unreal Tournament 2004 came with a Linux installer
(only included in the DVD version with the Atari branding)
Works fine on chimaera!
I only needed to install libstdc++5
and to get sound working start it like this: aoss ./ut2004

UT99 still works like a charm with the lastest ptches from this year. And "Die Siedler 2" .. ok, dosbox, but it works

Head_on_a_Stick · 2021-10-17 09:49:11

Some recent additions for me are Quake III from GOG:

# apt install game-data-packager
$ game-data-packager gog

Works better than under Windows, which is as it should be.

And I also bought Dirt Rally 2.0 while it was on sale (£8 with all the DLC!) and it works perfectly under Steam with Proton (experimental branch). It is a *superb* racing simulator but also properly hard — I've only just managed to win a stage against the AI after 20 hours of practice with the difficulty on 1/100. Epic.

AisleRiot Solitaire, best card game on linux imo. I used to play all those 3d games years ago on ps1,2 and 3. Not anymore though. Hoas, I used to play Colin Mcrae rally on ps1 when it first came out religiously, took me a good 6 months to beat it. The rally games were the best imo.

Yeah, I agree. Very challenging but also very satisfying.

Here's a clip to give an idea of how it plays: https://www.hooktube.com/watch?v=aHaMrzAVgNg

The graphics have moved on somewhat since the PS1 days :-)

Indeed. Occasionally I mess with Swell Foop though. Good for visual spatial acuity.

berni51 · 2021-10-18 07:53:28

I play AisleRiot too, beside gnome-mahjongg, Solitaire Klondike (xpat2) and cuyo. That's it.

davidb · 2021-10-18 18:55:26

I've always installed Maelstrom when ever I set up a new system.

Head_on_a_Stick · 2021-10-31 08:16:04

Just bought Torchlight II on Steam, it works under Linux but only in X. I was a bit worried I'd wasted £4.49 when it wouldn't start in sway...

Head_on_a_Stick · 2021-11-11 14:14:07

Managed to get the original Assetto Corsa working under Proton.

Install protontricks, download the game then attempt to start it with Proton v5.0-10 (it will fail) then

cd ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/244210
winecfg # select "Windows XP"
protontricks 244210 dotnet472 # wait

Once it's finished installing the old .NET files reset winecfg to Windows 7 and Proton to the latest version for better performance. The game should start.

Surprised to see no mention of OpenMW. Original Morrowind can also be run through Wine but OpenMW is much more stable.

Assetto Corsa Competizione via Steam Play (Proton). Very narrow focus (GT3 only unless the GT4 & cup car class DLC is bought) but very deep. I'm rubbish at it but it's still very enjoyable, even with a PS4 DualShock controller or just a keyboard. I'm sure it would be amazing with force feedback wheel & pedals and a VR headset.

Head_on_a_Stick · 2022-04-14 10:10:44

Picked up Forza Horizon 4 from Steam on a sale and it works fine. The game itself is rubbish though — lots of cheesy cut scenes and driving around through virtual "traffic" (why?) to get to silly, half-assed races set on the same roads you've been driving around anyway. And to make it worse you start out in a slow, POS car and have to grind away to get money & "influencer points" (grrr) so you can buy the fast stuff.

I only played it for an hour or so and Steam did refund it.

charliebrownau · 2022-06-03 22:55:39

Gday

Ill confirm that OpenRA and the mods work with Dev1

OpenRA_CombinedArms-0.72-x86_64.AppImage works on Dev1 with Windows scrubs
you might need to port forward to host a game

Also limiting it to 75fps helps and turning off the background menu animations
It does not require steam , works on LAN , works on appimage on Linux

These days, xpat2 & xshisen, with pysolfc in reserve.
