Hey , today i installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my pc , everything went smooth but after i started to play TF2 i had about 50 FPS. Any sollutions to grow up the fps on linux?

Note: i have installed all fps configs like chris’s one etc etc.

also you didn’t really specify your rig, for all we know 50fps is pretty good for pentium3

note: ive made him install linux :D ive set him wine etc, chris, skyride, arie where are our experts ?

of course you’re going to get lower fps with wine… you’re essentially working with an API that’s been reverse engineered and then put back together again, and is therefore buggy and inefficient.

nothing you can do about that. wine version control is unstable as shit anyway. stuff that worked in the last version sometimes stops working in the latest, and that’s all over the board.

you’ve not even given us a reference of how it was on windows, how can you expect anyone to be able to diagnose with no reference point?

and nightbox, it’s highly inadvisable to tell someone to install linux when you don’t inform them of the (obvious) caveats. it’s not like linux is some godly kernel or something, don’t install a linux distro if you don’t have an actual reason to, or if that reason is “X told me to, but didn’t tell me why”.
