Something New, from the land of many troubles

Well it loaded in about the same time, but the FPS was pretty low.

Freelancer Client runs from Mac Os X with Crossover Office or Crossover Games
Mac Os X Leopard 10.5.4 Iatkos, Crossover Office 7.0.2, Acer Extensa 5220

I think Freelancer not 100% compatible with wine, because FLServer not fully working.
Whether it is possible to correct it?

Freelancer runs fully under Linux except the multiplayer, which lags extremely

It’s because of the bad Directplay support of WINE, but I read that it should be fixed by now. Can’t test it because my Computer is damaged.

Hope this helps

If I remember correctly, I had to use native directplay DLLs in order to get FLServer/multiplayer working.

Yep, i used this feature as listed in WineHQ. But…
Server starting, working self for locally running freelancer client on the same computer.
Server appears at servers list, but trying to join to it from far freelancer client has effect with window ala Connection Timeout
IpTables, SELinux and other security services offline.

Good news for me, but I think it will be for dx10 :))

What linux distro you used and what version of wine?

I was using Pardus Linux with Wine 1.1.18.

I might have a shot at running *nix again (dual boot ofc) on my current box.
Its all new hardware, just hope linux fully supports it.
