Does Cedega just work straight away for you most of the time

No, and right now I regret spending money on it.

Cedega/Point2Play has never given me serious problems. I've had a handful of titles (including WoW) running under it with minimal effort on my part. Worst issue is when I forget to set P2P to "ALSA" from "OSS". Some games don't like not finding audio and throw big fits about it.

either it works for me or it doesnt.. usually installer issues (crashes/ error copying files).. but directly with games i usually dont have problems
however in some games performance is decreased a lot

Flip a coin. Heads it does, Tails it doesn't.

That's about how assured I am.

Unreal Gold worked like a charm. Half-Life 1 had issues with sound but I might try again with a newer version of cedega.

What do you do to set up cedega?

Is there any way to use my direct x files on my winxp partition.

Does cedega work on Amd 64?

only game i got working so far is Red Faction2 and it wasn't playable

I get copy protection errors with nearly every game I have that works in cedega for some reason. So I haven't really had a chance to see what it's like properly. The one or two games that do run work great.

Steam installed just fine, and I can play. FPS is a bit sucky compared with Windows. Also sound doesn't work.

I tried using cedega to run Lineage2 but thanks to ATI it doesn't work.

I tried cedage for some direct3d games (that what its for) but none of them worked (bf1942/dungeon keeper2 etc) or they were very slow and unstable and thus unplayable (hl2/nfs:u)
The only game that actually worked was max payne 2 and to some extend gta3
All my windows opengl games work fine in wine already (and the ones that dont work with wine also wont work with cedaga) and some direct3d games (max payne) also

so its pretty useless, even more so because you have to pay for it..

just installed it and did nothing else, works great for WoW which is all i need

Proof that native games are needed.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Never owned or tried cedega. Tried wine many a moon ago. I want to play my games, not troubleshoot them.

Cedega runs good for me, origanal carmageddon was easier to install with point2play then it was on windows2000 =)

Half-Life 2 is quite playable with the latest cedega and ati updates but only has directx8 gfx, counter-strike 1.6 is almost at the same performance as windows.

It is pretty much (for me anyway) good for steam. Everything else I have ever installed under cedega just simply does not work. I've had better luck with the newer version of wine.

But if all your gonna use is steam. go ahead and pay for it

I didn't have problems until I recently upgraded to gentoo-sources-2.6.11, now I get copy protection errors.

Works but cs:s is much slower than in windows, especially when the action hots up it is not really playable imo (drops to <10fps while windows holds it above 70 always). I agree with gcasillo...native games are needed.

Yes, but I didn't get expected performanjce until I manually set my VRAM to 128MB instead of 32MB in the config file.

When I got a game to work I did not have any performance problems at all. Actually I believe my performance was better with wine/cedega than windows but this might be because I am using a dual processor rig with 2 GB of memory...
