HalfLifeOnLinux

Notes

• Well, okay, Half-Life 2: Episode One on linux
• In a scene where Alyx controls some security thing and monitors you via screens in ep 0, and the reactor room in ep 1, you get big heaps slowdown.
  • From the AppDB?: To get decent performance in the reactor room, set the registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D/OffscreenRenderingMode = fbo
  • This speeds up a lot of those kinds of 'monitor showing somewhere else' things and I don't know why it's not done by default.
  • I remember when we had a nice easy to find easy to edit well commented text file for these kinda things.
• Steam is an asshole and sometimes you just gotta wineserver -k and maybe kill `pgrep '\.exe'`
