Linux?
« on: September 27, 2011, 04:34:23 pm »
Has anyone else had any luck getting the game to run via wine in Linux?  My game just opens up the game window and displays the initial load dialog before crashing with an error about the garbage collection thread.  I'm using Gentoo linux and wine version 1.3.28 and AI War and Tidalis have no problem.  I'm just curious if it's a problem with my wine set up or if it's something that wine itself just doesn't handle properly at the moment.

Hmm, that's really surprising.  This game is the same engine as AI War and Tidalis, so I'd expect it to run just as well as them on WINE.

Just updated wine to 1.3.29 as well as my prebuilt 32 bit libs and now the game is running for me now :D!  So whatever my problem was it was either fixed in wine or the libs.

Wicked! I always love hearing that it works in wine. :)
