Guild wars anyone?

You don't need Cedega, there are two other solutions, wine is the complicated one and the easier one is PlayOnLinux, a review and the system software requirements can be found here - http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2008/01 ... linux.html and the deb file can be found here - http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html

All you have to do is install the latest deb and I think it should be up and running after that.

[EDIT]
I forgot another app for that as well, its called winedoors, which is also easy to use and install. It can be found here - http://www.wine-doors.org/wordpress/

Try winedoors that I suggested above and if that has the same result check the wine forums.

I can play GW flawlessly on Daryna, with a simple (stupid) method I found.

1- I dual-boot Daryna and Win XP; GW is installed (and updated) on the XP partition
2- I installed Wine-doors in Daryna via the Software Portal
3- Out of curiosity, I right-clicked on the gw.exe file from Daryna, and chose "Open with Wine"...
4- The GW launcher started, loaded something and the GW icon greeted me in Daryna's desktop
5- I clicked on it... and GW started in full-screen, already updated and configured (without anti-aliasing), and I played it withouth a glitch!
6- I have to mention that I had to disable Compiz effects, otherwise the GNOME panels would be present even with full-screen GW
7- Also, anti-aliasing can not be activated (and I hear that there is no solution), and framerate is slower than in XP (but perfectly playable anyway).

That's it. I don't know if I was lucky or what, but anyway I am very impressed with Wine. I think that Cedega is now not worth time nor money...

Your method got me to see the game about to open and then, closed again. lol it was the biggest tease of the day.

AARGH terrible!
Did you take a look at the Wine AppDB? There could be useful posts there (scroll down the page and you'll see a nice HowTo: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... n&iId=9194 )

Good luck!

Take a look at this posthttp://wine-forum.org/showthread.php?t=18. It references a few sites that I used to get mine working. I still have a slight issue in full screen with the pointer not lining up correctly so I run it windowed (at a FPS cost). I am going to try that dual boot solution as I have in installed on my laptop to see if I can run full screen.

Post your results. I am sure we can get things working.

I will look up the keystrokes I use to implement full screen.

Don't forget to mail the developers of the games you like and ask them to make a Linux version.
If enough people do it, maybe some of the big software houses will wake up!
