Half-Life 2 Runs Natively on HaikuOS with Nvidia Driver Support
Half-Life 2 running natively on HaikuOS
After months of testing, I've successfully ported the Nvidia driver for Turing and Ampere GPUs to Haiku, enabling native 3D acceleration. While resolving dependency issues with Wayland and Vulkan was tricky, the result transforms Haiku from a curiosity into a viable daily driver. Users are now playing games like Half-Life 2 at 4K resolution, proving that modern hardware can finally work seamlessly on this operating system.
Just wanted to throw a thumbs up for this work in - turned Haiku immediately from an occasional use curio to genuinely very cool to use as a proper OS.
