The First Unreal Engine 3 Game Ships For Linux

[birdie]

Just 5 years after the official release.

Which means we won't see UE4 based games until 2018. Lovely.

Wish it worked.

This is what I get attempting to run it:

[m@ptah DungeonDefenders]$ ./DungeonDefenders 
Dungeon Defenders: Installed in '/home/m/Downloads/DungeonDefenders'.
XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
      after 153 requests (153 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
      after 18 requests (18 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

Archlinux x64. Nivida GTX 570

Same error here, but I'm on Mint x64, ATI 7870 w/ beta Cats

Ryan Gordon ported Unreal Engine 3 to Linux years ago but ultimately was never permitted to release the Unreal Tournament 3 Linux client...

As long as Microsoft and Apple are preventing games that run on their platform to run on Linux, we will see this happening. Now finally their money is starting to run out and real competition will be allowed! Porting most any game to Linux is only trivial, the real stop is the company deals&policies.

On intel 4000 it's a segfault, while displaying the launcher for the blink of an eye.

Is that a debug build with all debug symbols...?

Do you use mesa 9.0.1?

Mesa 9.1-devel (git-fddcc67)

Got the same on 32bit, arch.

Now the door is open for port a bunch of games.

Mass Effect saga, Batman Arkham Asylum/City were my favorite choices to be the first.


And now that I think of ... Is there any way one can make function any UE3 game (like the above) by simply copying the content files (of Windows version) to the right folders of this "Dungeon Defenders" game?

No way.

No, that is not possible since all developers with a full source license make various, often substanial, changes to the engine. This is especially the case wirh AAA games. There ate also varous other issues such as C++ extensions you Unrealscript code.
