Computer specifications?

Wine generally runs slow.

You need a pretty damn good computer to run games in wine at a decent speed, like an amd athlon 64 fx-55 with an nvidia 6800 video card and at least 1 gig of ddr 400. Your system could easily run native linux games like Americas Army and Unreal Tournament 2004. Stick to the native games.

i can run call of duty and many games but its just a problem with some miles(mp3)-based games and u dont need a fast computer

its only vmware and other emulators that need fast comps, but wine is not an emulator - it creates a virtual API to run windows apps

i tried hl2, but it went too slow, as most people said it would, u need cedega for that
heroes 3, heroes 4, call of duty, etc. use miles (however call of duty runs fine)

thats exaggerating. you dont need that great of a machine to run those types of games at decent speeds.

I have a system like that and wine is still slow. Well, lemme take that back, I don't have the FX-55 but that doesn't make that big of a difference.

What about the free cadega version? Has anyone tried it? Apparantly cadega can run half-life 2, and that'd be great. Booting into windows to play CS:S is such a pain.

Yes you can...

Someone recently noticed that Steam began to work again (actually, it has worked the whole time, with the exception of the 27%-bug). Though, I must admit that Steam in Wine isn't the stablest thing in the world! (But is Steam ever stable? ;))

You can launch, and play HL2, if you are willing to patch your Wine with Oliver Stieber's D3D9-patches: http://www.oliverthered.f2s.com/projects/wine.
Wine paired his patches have been to run HL2 for quite a while, well over a month, if i remember correctly. :-)

However, please note that Cedega probably runs the game tens of thousands of times better than Wine currently does.

Well, it probably wouldn't be worth the hassle.

His changes may/should/will get into Wine CVS soon, I think. :-)

its not so much a hassle .. i think.. cause u just add a new version of wine 20040310-r1 and then make it download the patch and then change the install script by adding the applying of patch ... i just dont know how to do it myself :P
