By the way, do you have swithcible GPU? AMD drivers may not work properly, you need to install drivers manually from AMD website.

I never had any of these issues, and I using Ubuntu with AMD 8350 + 7970 GPU. The performances are great, and I don't see much difference between Win or Linux on my rig. What CPU and GPU are you using? Is it a notebook with AMD Apu? If you use a notebook, it's better not install CPU drivers from update manager. Idk why, but, after I tried Ubuntu on my netbook with CPU drivers installed, leadwerks did lag a lot. And I have AMD A8/R7 with SSD. **** Oh, sorry I see now what hardware you use. Do you have the same frames inside Windows? Is it huge difference or is it just like 5 fps?

No one here thinking that Leadwerks is a bad engine. It is my number one on he list of all game engines. But Josh could help our community by deploying new technology to the engine instead of spend time on game launcher (in my opinion). Time never stay still and technology is moving forward and same must be done with the engine. If 90% of all AAA games use PBR why not to do this for LE3?

I don't understand Josh at all.. If you can make better sellings by applying standard technology to your product why is it bad? UE4 or Unity is not free at all, they are maybe free to use and by being free to use they are not in a bad situation at all, they are only growing. Leadwerks lacking many tools, and support for other standard software when it comes to game development. This why not many at all will be able to: 1) deploy a game 2) show how good Leadwerks is for other developers Even Jmonkey using PBR right now. How could this happen?=).

Do NOT buy it. It is useless for game creation because of exporter. Its exports many .obj files of a single terrain + they are voxels, so they will have many polygons and you need to do retopo after it..... If you need a good terrain software, you have products like, Bryce, VUE, Geocontroll etc.

How do they glitch?

Thank you!!

Yes i can confirm, this is a old bug in Linux version.

I agree with you Rick. I did try to create a game with my friends too, and we created a big demo of "skyrim" like game based on Unreal Engine. I think we could complete a project if the guys I did work with, was more active. I did 3D modeling, programming in C++, but in the end, I have just given up. It is to the large task for one person. Then I found Leadwerks + I hate Windows, cannot even use it. So I moved from UE4 and Win to Linux. I think as group leader you must create the "basic" game by yourself. So you don't need to worry about programming or other stuff later. YOU need to do all planning work and when you achieve what you want, you can just buy 3d models or find people who could help you. If you are not a programmer and level designer, you will fail + game arts are very important. My sister works as an architect, and she did create many levels on paper, without her I wouldn't even bother with this idea to create a game. Good luck with you game, and never give up. But don't start to plan about the new Skyrim game or Mass Effect. It is to Large project for one guy, or is this is what you want, try to start with character controller first + animations. If you are able to create a good looking game play with good animation the you can move towards the idea of creating levels. And never ever change your first plan. If you are making a simple game, make it simple. Do not try to create another Diablo, because if you fail, you will start to hate it.

Hi guys! Beta drivers are available on Ubuntu 14.04!!! I did test Leadwerks on my AMD machine (AMD FX8350 / Crosshair V formula-Z / AMD 7970 MATRIX), and I must tell that many major bugs are gone. Leadwerks did fly with no problems at all ( well some problems is still relevant like, editor crash sometimes when you close Script window ). To activate them, you need to check Pre-released updates (trusty-proposed). And i think this is first time when Cannonical back-porting the proprietary driver. " Ah and by the way, it works only on 14.04 LTS and 15.04 Beta. "

Hello guys, I have short but very important question about networking. Will it be available for Leadwerks and if yes, when? Will LUA work? Or you will need only C++?

Hi guys! I having trouble with putting a gravity force inside a object. For example you have a planetoid, and you want to land on it when you have gravity set to 0 in space but have the gravity around the object? How could i achieve this? I tried to make a trigger on top of planetoid, but when i run i always run like on a platform ( i fly away ), and not on the round surface of the planetoid.

Hi. I think it will work, cuz i7 use hd5000 GPU, and it support DirectX 11.1, OpenCL 1.2 and OpenGL 4.0.

I told you about KDE not Kubuntu

What are you talking about? Lol, have you ever used other game engines? Like Unreal Engine 4 and Unity? I am sorry, but they are also do crush. And when it comes to games, and game making, you must use save button. And I must tell you, that your modeling and your programming can cause all these crashes you talk about, even if you use UE4 it will crash on you if you doing something wrong. GL with your project man. You are like a kid who don't like the bike, because it's purple. Bing the facts, and ppl will hear you. And all this stuff ppl writing here about bad Linux version often is because of drivers, or not supported version of Linux. Use Ubuntu with KDE it is more stable and you will be happy, if you are still not, then the problems is not in the engine.

Thank you for your answer. For "Linux" it is stable. Have you seen other software that was ported to Linux? For example 3d Coat? I love it. But if I am at full screen, and someone sending me a message in Skype, I will get a black screen. And I cannot even drop the X server and reboot! THIS is a major bug, because if I forget to exit Skype I can spend hours for nothing. I have never seen a single corrupted file under five weeks in Leadwerks. And we do quite advanced stuff with it under Linux. You are not alone. By the way have you tried Mono in Unity?=) Unreal do crash on me too ( in windows ). Sometimes it is not always the software bugs. It could be drivers. Linux itself has many old bugs in the X server and to work around it, you need more than one guy.

Yep. I will try to find solution, thank you guys.

Hi guys. My question is about newton dynamics and how to import cloth from for example blender into the leadwerks? If I understand right, this feature is not available in leadwerks today? Any way to work around this problem? In UE4 I did use the APEX SDK from NVIDIA, but this is no NVIDIA here in Leadwerks. It is not critical to my project, I can use other stuff, but I just want to know if this is on to do list?

Pfff. I'am tired of this guy here on the forum who cry all day long about how Leadwerks is bad. Especially in Linux part. Guys, yes, it is bugged, here and there, but for 95 % it is stable, and for another 5 it is not critical. Install Ubuntu, and stop this crying please. Ronald, if you like UE4, maybe you want to spend time learning it?

You can just create shortcut on Desktop. If you want to change icon, default Engine icon is in Steam folder. Then you can place shortcut in Steam folder and drag it to your Unity Panel.
