Re: Steam for Linux enters open beta

Been in since the last phase, not had any problems that weren't my fault :lol:

TF2 runs pretty well considering how new the whole thing is, but we are talking about 220fps compared to 300fps I get in Windows

Blame your gfx card manufacturer and their shoddy Linux drivers.

I'd expect that is where the problem lies: an earlier set released shortly after the L4D2 alpha promised a doubling in graphics performance, but no doubt there is still plenty of work to be done on both Valve and nVidia's parts.
