Shadrende 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2007 Nah I don't do that BUT, there are guides on how to do it with WINE. Looks reasonably easy to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had the courage to mess w/ opengl+linux+flakey vendors and their drivers. nvidias kernel modules are quite good, atleast for the moment they are better than ati. WoW can and does run on linux, but at about 1/2 to 1/3 the speed it does on windows, so while you may find me farming on linux, you wont find me raiding on it (vent has issues too). Wine: well, wow runs. There are patches available for wine to improve its ability to run wow Cedega: much better than wine in this case, yes it costs money, but its not that much. Allows full use of wow's shaders, speed enhancements over wine, BETTER sound, and you can actually turn on hardware cursor and have it work. It also use your current window decorator where wine by default uses its own. Wine has improved very much over the last year, but still isnt great, and cedega's new version i think actually slows wow a bit. depending on your setup, add -opengl after WoW.exe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feanore 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2007 Yeah, I'm kinda opposed to spending money on anything in my Linux rig (more out of habit than any political leanings). I've looked at Cedega before as well as wine. My issue with both is they don't work for *every* game. What I want to see is a natively supported port of DX dammit.
