  • tj111, on 04/30/2008, -0/+7The last few Wine patches have really hammered out a ton of major bugs. I just realized today that all my Source games work with all default settings, no more having to go and change sound drivers and all that junk anymore.
  • z0mbie2099, on 04/30/2008, -0/+6Man if i could get Battlefield 2 working, I'd nuke my XP partition to kingdom come.

    This is for people that dont want to waste they time on compiling.
  • piratesmack, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4Yeah, Wine is getting better and better with every release. Wine 1.0 is coming out in June on the project's 15th birthday. I had no idea the project was that old
  • piratesmack, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4It looks like Battlefield 2 already works in Wine, but it has some graphical glitches. You might have better luck with cedega, cxgames, or PlayOnLinux
  • piratesmack, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2Good job. Maybe if I have time later I'll make a 64bit deb
  • Philluminati, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2The URL written in the description looks like it's broken.
  • skoruppa, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1eh oO!? But we are talking about patched version....
  • 0L1VER, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1I know that the .60 release had some problems with 3D acceleration, but compatibility is steaming forward (no pun intended). In case any Wine developers read this, thanks for providing the great service!
  • z0mbie2099, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1You mean Vavle's Steam Source games?
  • piratesmack, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1I just tried it, it works. You just have to right-click>Save link as
  • Stemp, on 04/30/2008, -1/+1The winehq repository already include version 0.9.60 even for 64bit ;)
