Everything is fine with cedega. Sometimes you get wierd looking graphics of faces or the fitting screen's background. But that's it.

I use it with WINE 0.9.44 and works flawlessy, apart from the sound which have to be disabled in order to make the client functioning as of now. Maybe future versions of WINE will fix that behaviour, but for now I can survive without it.
My client works at 1280x800 and I have no framerate problems at all.
It's quite sometime I don't use Cedega to run it, so I'll pass to someone better than me to explain the "Cedega experience" .
Tell me if you need some other informations.
Bye bye .

do you run it on a 64bit install ?

No, I run it on a 32bit install unfortunately.

A little update: only thing needed to run EVE Online on Arch is the copy of arial fonts from my Win partition. With 0.9.46 sounds work just fine.

Guild Wars runs quite well with a couple command-line tweaks. I don't play it much anymore, though. Free to play after the initial investment, plus whatever expansions you might decide you want.

I just started playing this again; I used to run it under cedega, and was hugely surprised/delighted to learn it runs quite well under wine. Just out of curiosity, what command-line tweaks do you mean? Anything that noticably improves performance (not that it's all that sluggish currently).

What I currently use:

#!/bin/sh
export WINEDEBUG=-all
wine "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -dsound -dx8 -noshaders && nvidia-settings -l

Not actually performance enhancing, no.

Since at least .44, wine refused to start guild wars without at least -dsound and -noshaders. The only real performance enhancing things (besides the requisite winedebug killall) reside in registry tweaks, though I'm not even sure if those are required anymore.

The nvidia bit restores gamma after guildwars mucks it up.

Well, I know you said you don't really play anymore, but I'm currently running it no problem (no flags) under wine-git (w/ an nvidia card). Of course, this means that I'm constantly pacman -U'ing between my git package and the official package, as some other programs don't run under the -git version .
