Are there any specifics that I need to do to properly run the Second Closed Beta?
I keep getting:
err:d3d_surface:surface_upload_data >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_ENUM (0×500) from glTexSubImage2D @ surface.c / 2352

Is this normal?

  I had no problem with the alpha for the first closed beta. I will take a look this weekend.

It’s not working on Ubuntu 12.10. I’ll try to find a way.

Solved.

If you have an Nvidia GPU disable nouvea drivers and install nvidia current drivers.

Install linux headers and update.

Got it playing with PlayOnLinux.
