Guest Linz Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 Hi all! Has anyone here tried to install CM4 with wine? I just read some faqs at the CM4/SIgames site that it should work with wine in linux, but I haven't seen anyone report that it works.

SoulSe Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 With enough patience, I'm sure you could get anything to work with Wine. You could, alternatively, hop on over to http://www.transgaming.com/ and see if the game is compatible with WineX, which will make your life much easier. You are going to hear stories of how evil WineX is, bla bla. I agree with them, but if you just want to play your game without booting into Windows and with minimum effort, go for it.

Guest Linz Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 I already have winex (yes, I'm a sinner :roll: ) The reason for asking was that I had not purchased the game yet...now I have. It installs and starts ok with winex, but the matches are terribly slow running. Oh well...guess I'll have to reboot to windows to play it afterall. (As I do want native games rather than play them with wine/winex, I have emailed sigames about developing games that can natively run in linux too...have to try) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Have you checked the forums and games pages on www.transgaming.net? I think you have to a subscriber to access them though. A friend of mine had problems with a game running in WineX and managed to tweak it so it ran fine. My opinion is that if you use WineX, you may be damaging the future of Linux gaming, but if you boot into Windoze to play a game, you are damaging the fututre of Linux as a whole. Good luck on writing for a port, it is an important thing to do, but most companies seem to ignore these requests. This will change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I am also VERY keen to see this game run natively - if anyone wants to petition the games company then I'll be up for adding my voice to the call! I currently only run CM00/01 - but always on windows :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sas Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 cm4 is very slow anyway, it requires a much faster computer than the older versions, theres a particular setting thats on by default that does a full 2d simulation of each match in all your active leagues iirc. Try using their support forum, it'll take a week to be confirmed but they're very helpful tuxgames had a cm petition going, dunno how far it went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
