shadowhand: does WoW run good with Wine?

Ryujin · 2006-07-18 17:02:04

One word sums up my gaming experinece in linux, the little program that is as importaint as say, net-tools, the program that helped me maintain my sanity while fighting cancer, the one, the only

ZSNES

niftymatt · 2006-07-20 17:06:33

ha, I play games on ZSNES too. The only game I have tried and that works with wine is C&C Red Alert 2.

If any of you miss the Counter Strike days, but don't see that as any reason to defile your computer with Windows, try this.
It's class, trust me. It's an enemy territory mod. The game and the mod are (beer) FREE.
Nice to know that. And you can ditch windows after that since it is available for Linux also.
So good that all it takes is an emerge enemy-territory && emerge enemy-territory-truecombat

Hehe yeah I shoulda pointed out it's totally linux friendly, that's what I was trying to infer. And what's this Emerge all about, eh? Tut tut...

Shadowhand - how well does WoW run? Do you use Wine, or Cedega. If you use Cedega, is it worth paying the subs for Cedega/WoW? I want to try it, but I also want to keep linux-pure.

Incidentally has anyoned played Runescape? It's made by a small independent company, and the graphics aren't mind blowing my any means. But a couple of hours playing, and you realise it's actually really nicely made, a lot of attention to detail and original gameplay (puzzles, etc). You can also become a member for $5/month or summat, to unlock extra content. Best of all it can be played in a browser on a Java applet.

Has anyone tried Planeshift or Eternal Lands? I'd be interested to hear if they're any good.

Peace.

Well I don't neet the emerge again I'm using Arch Linux.

I started playing planeshift a couple of days ago - I got a newer graphics card now so this time it worked fine

I liked it a lot - IMO, try it!

But beware that not all races have models yet. You can still play the races with models of other races though. Also, the fragnetics server (the only public planeshift server) goes down from time to time (this far it has come back up within 5 minutes though).

I played RSC (the 2D version)... a lot: quit as a level 88 pure with 91 thieving.

It's good that Runescape runs through a Java applet and hence works on Linux, but I find the game boring nowadays. It takes a long time to train: combat, mining, fishing, woodcutting... each takes a long time to get a decent level (say, 60+).

I never checked back into this post, but yes, WoW runs fine with Wine, but the FPS are generally about 1/2 of what they are in Windows. (Nvidia users have to apply a patch to make GLX textures work, all other card users can run it natively. Search Winehq's AppDB for more info.)

http://www.allacrost.org/ looks good!!!

iphitus · 2006-09-18 00:02:42

ive played wow, and the whole half life/cs series under wine. I was trying sim city last week, but tragically it would randomly crash after an indefinite period of time under cedega wine and crossover

As for native, angband and its variants rock, i put nppangband into extra for you, good newbie variant. Another fun game is gl-117, once you get the hang of the controls it can great.

Jacek Poplawski · 2006-09-18 09:04:27

iphitus, could you put more roguelikes into extra/community?

what are you thinkin? lemme know and ill take a look.

there's already nethack and nppangband, although the original angband wouldnt go amiss.

Jacek Poplawski · 2006-09-18 13:22:43

Type "angband" on aur.archlinux.org. There are more, but that's a good start.
You could also consider put into community one of my game PKGBUILDS, like singularity or sturmbahnfahrer or vamos.

I just got Neverwinter Nights pretty recently and play in a guild with 2 close friends.

I don't have any free time anymore.

This looks like it could be fun. Downloading it now, thanks for the hint.

liem · 2006-09-20 12:05:12

Soviet Unterzögersdorf sounds cool. Thanks for the tip.

However when I run ./setup to change language to english it complains.

[liem@modesty]$ ./setup
./setup: error while loading shared libraries: libxml.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ln -s libxml2.so libxml.so.1 solved the problem but adding the following to acsetup.cfg should do the trick.

[language]
translation=english
