Games Running Slowly and Blurry on Ubuntu

alextwist · Aug 15, 2014

A friend of mine just got his computer and wanted to demo it with tf2 Dota 2 and some other games. He says he already re-installed the drivers but the games still refuses to work. He is running Ubuntu 14.04. Here are his specs:
AMD fx-6300
Asus M5A99X Evo R2.0
MSI GeForce GTX 750ti
SeaGate Barracuda 7200rpm 1tb
GSkill Sniper 2x4gb RAM
EVGA 500w PSU
Thermaltake V3 AMD Edition
Please help out a little. Thanks in advance!

I think it's cause most games don't support Ubuntu, seeing as a steam game, it might only support apple os and windows so it might not work as well

Even if it is the Linux version? And also, Steam has a linux version too. He is not using WINE or anything like that.

Well it's the linux version.. Not ubtuntu version

so that's probably what'scausing it, the specs are fine for those games, its the os thats making those things happen

Which Distribution of linux should he use then?

legend001523 · Aug 15, 2014

I don't know sorry, only know windows

why doesn't your frien get windows? :l

legend001523 · Aug 15, 2014

I'm not saying it's definitely the os, but that could be why, did your friend dowbload the linux version?

alextwist · Aug 15, 2014

He Just spent all his money on the computer itself XD

legend001523 · Aug 15, 2014

Ahhh yes

but have you checked if they downloaded the linux version?

...My head just threw a CRC mismatch error - Ubuntu is a distribution of Linux. Not sure I understand what's meant by this.

Regardless, I run Arch Linux on an Asus Q501 (laptop with mobile i5, integrated video) and it plays League of Legends with no problems, excluding the poor performance from not having a video card. If you give me a few minutes, I can actually fire up a live Ubuntu stick and see if I can't replicate the problem you're having and get it fixed.

I'd recommend avoiding the Linux forums - they're like a pack of the most unhelpful, asinine ***holes on the internet all gathered into one place, and you'll probably just be referred to the wiki. Let me see if I can't be of some use and figure out what's going on.

What is the linux version??? I gave him a flash drive with this on it to boot http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

legend001523 · Aug 15, 2014

I mean the linux version of the games?

alextwist · Aug 15, 2014

legend001523 :

He says he did, but I wasn't with him

legend001523 · Aug 15, 2014

Hmmm... Stranger this gets... One does not simply download the linux games without running into trouble.. I'd suggest to reinstall the linux dota 2, or check for ubuntu updates

alextwist · Aug 15, 2014

He told me he already updated. I will let him know about the rest

Kk, try that
