Mass Effect 3 is an action role-playing game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Officially announced on December 11, 2010. the game was released March 6, 2012(today) and marks the final chapter in the Mass Effect trilogy of video games, completing the story of Commander Shepard.

Gameplay in Mass Effect 3 is influenced by decisions from Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 and have settings throughout the galaxy, including Earth and Mars. Combat has been changed and refined; in particular, the cover system has been improved, there are more options for moving around the battlefield, instant melee kills and more conventional grenades are introduced as well as improved artificial intelligence. A four player multiplayer co-op mode will also be available.

@testingte yeah. maleshep talks like some action hero from the 90's movies imo

@AlmostAGamer not really... try registry tweak "UseGLSL disabled" gives a good perf boost ..video is 24 frames per second. but game itself runs well above that..few drops only when lots of crowd seen in the distance

What do you use music player or applet for mate panel?

@MrXersh its panflute applet (music player is audacious)

lol?...well mint 12 default user interface is pretty bad yes. but im using MATE deskop environment.. which will probably be the default for mint 13 or mint debian. to install wine is just 2 clicks. and linux is ready for nomal computer users. its even easier to install apps than seaching from internet for windows. just few clicks away are basically all apps. yes gaming is not so good yet...but we are reaching there

[ 2012-04-09 02:31:58Z ]👍 0

the Mate thing comes with the update .. right? i'm asking because i dont know if i am using it or not..

[ 2012-04-09 03:21:50Z ]👍 0

its included in Mint 12 DVD version, just pick up the session in loginscreen. but the version shipped with Mint is pretty old and buggy atm. to get the newest packages head over here: h t t p : //wiki. mate-desktop. org/download

wat are the minimum req. for the game on linux?

[ 2012-04-13 16:56:40Z ]👍 0

probably way higher than natively on windows. a good nvidia card (GTX 280, GTX460 or 560 and up) should be enaugh and some decent gaming CPU also and few Gigs of free ram might get it working with lower specs also but i think the framerate will be pretty bad, unless you run it in low resolution.

[ 2012-06-05 20:52:08Z ]👍 0

nice dude but how do you play it on fullscreen?

[ 2012-06-06 03:05:44Z ]👍 0

what u mean how?:D...its set to fullscreen from the game options...simple as that

[ 2012-06-12 18:07:47Z ]👍 0

yeah stick to windows then i guess:)... i had the same feeling about 2-3 years ago. had dualboot then for some games...now i just play the games that work under linux (native or via wine doesnt matter) :) and belive me..there are many that work. its even too much to play them all.

[ 2012-06-12 19:22:03Z ]👍 0

im opening steam with pretty huge selection of games on linux also :)

[ 2012-06-13 03:19:19Z ]👍 0

well mass effect 3 ran high quality without problems (dont mind the recorder hickups in the video).. but i agree with u, if u ran it with GT520MX at 60 fps then yeah.. i think mine wasnt 60 fps..but well over 30 for sure with a GTX 560TI that is. some games run without perf hit. some run with huge hit and so on. generally i think u loose about 20-30% of performance due the wine's directx to opengl translation

[ 2012-06-13 14:03:27Z ]👍 0

its not that simple. directx is owned by microsoft and is not opensourced. so u cannot take it and use it in linux directly. it would be better if game developers start using crossplatform from the start. opengl, openal and stuff like that. wont happen any time soon.. however steam is rumored to come to linux this year..with all the valve games + many indies..so theres light at the end of the tunnel.

Congratulations, last time I saw games running on wine, they weren't as good as this one. But, tell you what, no matter what system you run this game, the ending still sucks xD I might try to run it in ubuntu 12.04 if I manage to get my hd 6870 working. I'll subscribe to see more of your videos.

[ 2012-06-20 03:14:01Z ]👍 0

ati cards arent so good to run games via wine..some games will work good..but many have all kinds of nasty bugs due the bad opengl drivers of theirs. ohh and btw i still havent completed the game:D..im on the last mission there..but i dont really want to ruin the experience for me..since i hear that ending sucks:D

[ 2012-09-19 21:03:50Z ]👍 0

Always nice to see future Canada get mauled in video games...Even, to see Canada or anywhere not-US on earth in sci-fi games...or Earth, even. Also, I'd recommend that you give a more recent version of wine a try mate, 1.5x doesn't need too much fiddling around at all to get ME3 working...Although, given current problems with Origin, you might want to crack the game first.

[ 2012-09-19 21:13:41Z ]👍 0

Mass Effect 3 really isn't too demanding, compared to games like the Witcher 2. I have a gtx260 and had no trouble running it with a quad core AMD cpu and Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. Being a console port, the game really doesn't have all the graphical bells and whistles. Also, I think wine is pretty decent as far as performance goes these days. That's just my observation, but I do play quite a few games.

[ 2012-12-01 05:44:04Z ]👍 0

Looks really laggy...is it cuz of ffmpeg??

[ 2012-12-01 11:45:45Z ]👍 0

yeah linux recording software just aint as good as fraps on windows.

[ 2012-12-01 14:12:21Z ]👍 0

Its not FRAPS is any good either lol. But how many FPS do you get without recording? I have a card which an AMD equivalent to the 560Ti..6870. I was wondering if Wine is more CPU heavy? cuz i have shit CPU. Core2Quad Q8200 2.33Ghz.

[ 2012-12-01 14:28:16Z ]👍 0

i dont know exact numbers but it was quite smooth, more than 30 fps for sure. in some rare places it had few drops where a big distance was rendered. wine is more cpu heavy indeed. but im afraid ur problem will be the amd card probably, the lack of good linux drivers from their part.

[ 2012-12-01 15:56:52Z ]👍 0

I think AMD has started official linux support since last 2 months I guess. I did see the option of linux drivers and catalyst control center on their website. Not tried it though. Anyways unless I get a decent CPU m gonna have to stick with windows I am afraid. Wish Linux would get more and more native games.

[ 2012-12-01 15:58:53Z ]👍 0

they are supporting linux quite some time with their drivers, but unfortunately their drivers are known to have poor opengl performance and poor wine compatibility. linux will get more native games in the near future, Valves steam is currently in closed beta for linux

[ 2012-12-01 19:14:35Z ]👍 0

Yea but the advent of steam is just a start...what steam will do in linux is give devs a standard platform to put out their games for customers instead of each distro having its own software center. But that won't make big guns like Rockstar, Ubisoft, Sega, Capcom etc to make their games for Linux. EA and Activision might do it cuz they have their games on Mac meaning they have some exp with OpenGL standards. But most dont know opengl that well or just too greedy to care for linux users :(

[ 2012-12-27 15:20:07Z ]👍 0

Is it better to run a game off wine or virtual box?and i want to get linux but i have an AMD cpu will it make my fps go down?

[ 2012-12-27 15:22:03Z ]👍 0

virtualbox is slower in most cases and it has poord 3D support. wine is defenately better for that. AMD Cpu wont slow u down if u have decent one enough. AMD gpu might be the problem if u have one.. their drivers seem to not work well with wine and under linux.

It's creepy how much his character looks like mine....

[ 2012-12-27 18:53:14Z ]👍 0

Well my gpu is nividia and geforce,And my processor is AMD phenom II quad core 3 GHZ.

[ 2012-12-27 18:57:45Z ]👍 0

cpu is more than enough to play games under linux with fine performance. if ur video card is mid or high end then it should be enough also. lets say if u have nvidia 280 or 550+ or 650+ or similar.

[ 2012-12-27 19:12:23Z ]👍 0

Eh my video card is geforce 520,but i plan on upgrading to a GeForce GTX 670.

[ 2012-12-27 19:22:16Z ]👍 0

i think 520 is quite weak. im planing to upgrade from my 560Ti to 670 as well.

[ 2012-12-27 19:45:06Z ]👍 0

Funny thing is it needs a 600 watt power ,mine has 550 lol

[ 2012-12-27 19:48:32Z ]👍 0

take a 660Ti then..should be good enough also and u dont need to upgrade ur PSU :)

[ 2012-12-27 20:12:33Z ]👍 0

Hmmm true,but the PSU is cheap really and it would be good to upgrade it just in case i need any other hardware upgrades.Idk ill think on it,thanks for the help.

[ 2013-01-26 22:04:55Z ]👍 0

Does it lag a lot during gameplay or just because you're recording?

[ 2013-01-27 01:42:34Z ]👍 0

there was slight lag in some places where big distance had to be rendered..but not much. recording pulls down a lot.

[ 2013-01-27 02:45:07Z ]👍 0

I kinda figured that. Still pretty impressive that Linux can run games like that. I hope someday they are able to pull more resources together and come up with an OS that will play games better than Windows.

[ 2013-02-09 13:48:19Z ]👍 0

AMD CPU is fine. if u play on 1920x1080 and up resolutions, most games are GPU bouind anyway then, so it doesnt make much difference in gaming when AMD or Intel cpu then. just AMD cpus are 2x cheaper. thats what counts for me. AMD GPUs quite suck due driver issues. and yeah i dont have 10k rpm HDD. GTX 560TI is stil lfine for todays games, it isnt very powerfull but its not weak also. bought my stuff 2 years ago.. i usualy upgrade after every 3-4 years..so i have some time to play some more:D

[ 2013-02-16 01:20:32Z ]👍 0

The new FX 8350 beats the Intel i5 and in some benchmarkings it´s nearly as good as a i7

[ 2013-05-20 15:13:32Z ]👍 0

not really, check the tek syndicate benchmarks. in gaming it doesnt really matter that much. and 8350 is really good when u do screencast (game recording) cause more cores. those AIDA benchmarks are nothing to me. for me its important to have good framrate in games with highest settings and maximum resolution as well as to be able to record the gameplay at the same time.

[ 2013-05-20 15:15:44Z ]👍 0

its not laggy at all actually. i do have 955 x4 atm (planning to get 8350) and when recording it pulls the framrate down because of not enough free cores for screencasting. game itself runs superbly under linux, specially when you do useGLSL disable registry tweak

[ 2013-05-20 15:18:40Z ]👍 0

depending which games. check tek syndicate tests..they tested many games and 8350 is comparable with 3770 in some cases. im not a fanboy of any company, but i like to get most bang per buck, and since here in estonia amd cpu's are lot cheaper than intel ones while getting similar results in gaming, im going to go for amd

[ 2013-07-03 02:19:11Z ]👍 0

well the performance is most liely better now, with haswell processors and GTX 780 GPUs

[ 2013-07-03 11:40:47Z ]👍 1

i doubt haswell or new gtx lineup improves performance much. its wine's directx to opengl translation thats the bottleneck. Most todays CPU's will do just fine for such a old game and with wine's limitations, you dont really need haswell for that.. haswell only has 5-10% perf boost on the CPU side compared to the old ones, so its not really usable and they all have integrated GPU which is troublesome in linux when using dedicated nvidia gfx

[ 2014-03-21 15:34:08Z ]👍 2

I love that I can be playing a heavy game in linux and people flip out over it being linux and not windows. Everyone around here thinks only of the terminal work XD

Did you run this through Origin or using the disc? Whenever I try to launch the demo through Origin, it crashes once it gets to the main menu screen.

you found a video from 2012.. might be something has changed since then. game patches, wine versions etc. just head over to winehq and look for help from there, maybe someone else experienced this
