Valve's L4D2 Linux Presentation Slides

Posted by Michael Larabel on August 12, 2012

Here are the slides that Valve presented at SIGGRAPH LA 2012 about their Left 4 Dead 2 / Source Engine porting to Linux.

As previously talked about Valve was showing L4D2 on Linux and their OpenGL optimizations they did to make Left 4 Dead 2 run faster on Linux than Windows.

In How Valve Made L4D2 Faster On Linux Than Windows the main details of this SIGGRAPH 2012 talk were covered, but below are all of the presentation slides for those interested.

Look for more Valve Linux news in the very near future.
