Linux gaming experience – DotA 2 on Linux

First simmering for a Linux client, now playing with passion.

This group is made for people playing DotA 2 on Linux. No more rebooting is required, for some even no Windows is required any more ;)

Well, that is the goal. Currently the DotA 2 client for Linux is not really performant resulting in low framerates (fps) and annoying lags. We hope this will be fixed some day.

Further informations (group history):
This group was once created as a result of the campaign “Dota 2 on Linux”, in order to evince that there is a great demand for a Linux client for DotA 2.

Since the Linux client has been released on 18th of July, we reformed to a community of DotA 2 Linux player.

Reforming group

8 August, 2013 - AGN | 0 Comments

Today I did the first step of the reforming process: I rewrote the group description. Since Dota 2 is not running smooth and there are several bugs on different Linux distributions I decided to made a transitional description.

If some day the Dota 2 client works well on every, or at least most, Linux distribution I will rewrite the description again.

Any suggestions can be posted here Reform group discussion

Kind regards,
GRBurst
