Gaming In Linux : Torchlight

[MrBWatty]

I could not get it to run when I downloaded the demo version of the net. I decided to buy the box version off Amazon for 15 bucks and was planning on playing it on a win 7 box but decided to try to install it thru wine and to my surprise it worked perfectly. I haven't tried fullscreen mode just because I've had problems with other apps in wine. I do just hide my panels and maximize the window. I played for about 5 hours with out any crashes.

Why use wine when there exists a native linux version.

[Jakejw93]

@supercoolguyT Omg there is a native Linux version of Torchlight?! This i did not know!!!

[supercoolguyT]

@Jakejw93 Sorry i`ve missunderstood something. After a little research i found out that there is just beeing plans of porting it to linux but there is no linux client. I`ve just memorised wrong, sorry :(

[Jakejw93]

@supercoolguyT Ah okay, well its fine since it runs perfect in Linux anyway :D

@MrHakaider12 It is actually really good, If you are into RPG's be sure to check it out!!

[MrHakaider12]

[Jakejw93]

@MrHakaider12 System specs are :

CPU:x86-compatible 800MHz processor

RAM:512MB

VGA:DirectX-compatible 3D graphics with at least 64MB of addressable memory (such as an ATI Radeon 7200, NVIDIA GeForce 2, or Intel GMA 950)

DX:DirectX® 9.0c

OS:Windows 2000 or later

HDD:400MB

I just got that from a website, But take note that in the graphics menu there is a 'netbook mode' so you could easily run it on a lot of computers, or laptops
