linux + wine, work?

[Tuppe]

wonder if someone have tryed daoc linux whit wine emulator?
and what kind result.

think i read years ago someone post he made it work, some not.

notice they have quite nice list games what work allready under wine.
Wine Application DB - Vote Stats - Top 25 Applications
probably not all, just as example wow.

hmm found from same page Wine Application DB - Viewing App - Dark Age Of Camelot
where is tested different patch, incl lotm, and how it works, some wierd bugs but look promising.

It sort of works, but it does have bugs.

You won't get any of the advanced graphics which most players are used to, you'll be looking at old style basic trees for example. The mouse cursor also doesn't appear, so you've got no idea what you're trying to click to target an object.

Try it if you're curious about it, it may have changed since I last tried it.

I tried Cedega 2-3 weeks ago, the commercial version of Wine. You get very basic graphics and it still frame lags.

No point using it, you're better of with working in the time you spent to getting it to work with Wine and buying a copy of Windows for gaming.

Sadly. I prefer Linux though Vista ain't the bad.

daoc running in wine

tbh linux anit that good for gaming and the only reason i see people wanting to do manly Includes injecting DStreamServer/daocskilla
so really why not just duel boot unless there another reason

personally intrested only so can get rid later windows (using now xp but bet vista goes over in ~5y, xp dont getting more updates)

oh well, guess can try when buy new pc, make older one linux version and try.

I tried 2 days ago with wine0.9.42 on a fresh installation of Fedora Core 7, I could login with labyrinth client, but there are some problems:

Mouse invisible and colors were bugged (could be a prob of video-driver).

And after updating my kernel to get wlan up it doesn't work anymore ... strange.

At least the file-patcher in the beginning works fine now so you don't have to start daoc with 'wine login' anymore.
