Team Fortress 2 Getting Linux 64Bit Support (lemmy.world)

Earlier today Valve made a new depot for TF2 called "x64_linux_test". Maybe this mean well get a native 64 bit client ( and hopefully DXVK instead of ToGL please Valve) or this is just server stuff

Ok that's great but they need to fix the bots.

[–] Lath@kbin.social 18 points 9 months ago

Wait, I thought the TF2 team was just one guy still working on it because he likes to.

[–] wolfruff@pawb.social 6 points 9 months ago

I am so hype for this actually. Never thought about it but no other source 1 game supports 64 bit except for CSGO.. so my theory is that this is the first step towards getting the game ported to source 2 someday!

Wish the game wasn’t so dead 😭

[–] Ostrichgrif@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's in the top 20 games on steam nearly 100% of the time, it definitely has its issues but it's far from dead.

[–] the_q@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (4 children)

It's because it's full of bots.

[–] soupermkc@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 9 months ago

Only on Valve's official servers. Everywhere else is safe from those.

Worse than dead: undead

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

we're talking about tf2 not l4d

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 months ago

There are lots of bots and it sucks to vote kick them, but if I can get full matches in Australia with no issue I feel like the game is pretty okay. I do miss community servers though I'll grant you.

[–] jaykay@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 months ago

It’s not really fun getting a spinbot every other game

[–] mriormro@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

The game's almost two decades old.

[–] LodeMike 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Wait what? TF2 is 32 bit?

[–] wolfruff@pawb.social 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Apparently all source 1 games are 32 bit. Except for CSGO..

[–] LodeMike 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How

[–] Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

engine was made when 64 bit operating systems werent mainstream yet

[–] LodeMike 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

But that’s not possible. It has to have some kind of 64 bit binary. It uses well over 4GiB of RAM.

otima noticia

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

kkkkkkkkkkkk

[–] krow@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

this is looking very cool since they are adding Vulkan, this post pretty much covers this https://lemmy.world/comment/6971961

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

People still play this game? Last time I checked it out (over 5 years ago) it was full of bots. It can’t be any better now.

[–] d_k_bo@feddit.de 15 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Bots are only really a problem on Valve servers. There are many active community servers out there that manage to detect and ban them.
