Guest nickhall99 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hi guys, new to the forums, and indeed new to Linux. So new that I haven't actually installed it yet... I have a question. Will I be able to run Star Wars Galaxies on my Linux system? I have been told that there are a few people out there who have managed to get it to work, but I have also been told that there is a greater chance of it not working, because it doesn't support Linux. Rather then formatting my laptop, installing Linux, installing SWG, formatting the laptop again and installing Windows just to play my favourite game, I thought I would ask here first. I'm hoping that someone can tell me that it will work, since SWG is my game of the moment, and is playing the deciding piece in whether to try out Linux or not. :unsure: Thanks for any help.

devries Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 It should work with cedega 4.3 Disclaimer: haven't tried it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nickhall99 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Without meaning to sound like a cheap-skate, won't this cost me the $5 monthly licence fee? I guess that if I want to play the game I like so much, I won't have much of a choice, but I just want to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) 15 bucks, and you wont have to pay again unless you want further updates to cedega. Edited July 7, 2005 by iphitus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joaopa Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Wait the next release of free wine. With the future support of windows installers and the support of more directx 9 functions, there are lot of chances that this game works under wine.

Guest Dínchamion Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I was able to run SWG on Mandriva, with Cedega 4.4, and with some minor problems (which actually made me install a Window$, just for this program), like I couldn't rotate the screen with the pointer, and character names didn't appear. Give it a try, and see if you can play with it. (Personally I don't like mouselook and like to look around, so I'll use win until the problems solved) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
