Pssst, Mouser - *whispers* Linux client... just saying.


Guessing it might be too much to expect that a client meant to run native on the Unix derivative that is now the OSX line to work in major Linus distros, isn't it?

I am betting that it would be difficult to port, just based on the number of distros, desktops, and assorted other issues with Linux. OSX is pretty stable and defined.

You know the Mac Kitty OS is the bastard child of BSD and NextSTEP.
That is a flavor of Unix on it's own.

The problem is the clusterfuck called X-Window. ( X-Lib, Motif, CDE, KDE, XDCMP... ad nauseam )
All the Linux runs X-Free which is basically a free software built to simulate the above clusterfuck in every aspect.

Once it's ported to the Kitty OS getting it on Linux is not hard ( it's mostly a matter of library and system calls )... except for the graphical mess.

While we are in the X-mas wish list : I want it ported on Solaris 10, on Sparc ( sun4u ) processor.

Ah, didn't know that. I only knew that I could use some standard UNIX commands in the OSX terminal window.

AN IMPOSTER!  He did have cool looking armor, though.  Unlike Drilltex who looks like a frosted pink cupcake.

DDO is coming to the Mac! While the client is not going to be ready for Update 16 Patch 1, we wanted to make an alpha version available to DDO players to try here on Lamannia this month so we have plenty of time to react to feedback and potential bug reports.

To get started with the DDO Mac client, download the installer at this link: http://download.ddo.akamai.turbine.c...NDLauncher.dmg

Instructions to Install:

    COPY the installer URL. (We recommend that players not attempt to hand-type the above URL)
    Download the file (this is a full client download for this initial preview, and may take longer than your typical DDO game client downloads on PC do)
    Upon download, open the .dmg file
    Drag the DNDLauncher .app to a place you see fit (Applications folder is the standard place)
    Run the launcher, patch up, and begin to play DDO on your Mac!
    Let us know how DDO runs on your Mac


Please note that this is an alpha version of the DDO Mac client, so if you experience any anomalies, please be sure to tell us about it so our engineers can investigate if necessary!

    Bug reports submitted in game should be sent under the “Lamannia” category, and include the word “Mac” in your summary of the issue (that’s the text box entitled “Please provide a brief summary of the bug:*”).
    You can also post feedback here in the Mac forum.


Thanks for trying out the DDO Mac client!

That already came and went. Gaikai was suppose to take the place of regular DL...it just didn't work well. Cloud gaming is coming...but it is not quite there yet. Maybe 2 or 3 years away...maybe the next consoles i.e. 720 and PS4.

People still have problems with the PC client and now others drool over a Mac client.  PT Barnum was right.

When Apple is involved drooling will happen.

What are you hearing about the console development at Steam?


Surface is the platform for the tablet market that can run steam now.  Lips Sealed
Surface will most likely let you run Xbox live games on it as well, so it will be the newest "console".
Sony is doing the same thing with PS3 on the Sony Tablet S. Will console devices become obsolete?


While most Surface models use ARM, there is a pro version with the i5 Ivy Bridge.  Also, NVIDIA Tergra 3+ will most likely be integrated, so it can run fairly well.

As for optimization of games like those from Turbine, the main issue will most likely be the potential audience isn't that large considering Microsoft will only capture 10% of the tablet market across the board.


The Cloud sucks for FPS action. Otherwise, that would be where it all goes in a big circle to dumb terminals (thin clients).
