BF2 on Linux

Post by myers73 »

I'm about to switch entirely over to Linux Operating system, does anyone know if BF2 works on it or should I keep windows on a separate partition?

I did a quick google search on it and there wasn't a whole lot on it but from what I saw it didn't seem like it worked the best on linux. If I were you I'd keep Windows on a seperate partition (since BFII was originally built for these workings) and play BFII on Windows. I expect if you looked hard at some of the search results then you might find some more about it but from what I saw, it doesn't look too good.

You can get it working, but loading levels takes FOREVER. If you host an online game, everyone will timeout at the end of the map.
