Not to mention doesn't breach Blizzard's copyright and is as bug-free and good-looking and as updated as the official client...Good luck.While you're working on that I'll be over here with wine kthx
Red Alert 2 fix: Set your system to run in 16 bit color mode and watch Red Alert 2 absolutely smoke. Ubuntu normally runs in 24-bit mode by default. I had to edit xorg.conf to set it to 16 bit color mode and Red Alert 2 ran flawlessly. I actually learned this because I built an Ubuntu box for my folks. My dad said he wouldn't switch to linux unless Yuri's Revenge ran on it. Many hours later, and it runs GREAT.Also, Red Alert 3 in Wine is really great, right out of the box.
Both of those fixes don't address the issue that Red Alert 2 has in Ubuntu: the conversion of 16 bit color to the native 24 bit color of the desktop. The 16bit color fix was a tremendous improvement.

What audio stutter? I haven't noticed any since the ALSA audio backend started working properly. Unless you're still using the OSS backend...

Had to desable it to get passed the EA logoWhat was not testedLong time play.Additional CommentsI had to download xinput1_3.dll from the web and put it in system32. I also have a patched version of wine (see the patch mentioned for CoD 4)"
