I recently got the Cedega time demo, and I've been throwing games at it testing it out firsthand.
Guild Wars runs fine. The only flaw I can see is due to that "watermark" that fades in and out; I get horrible frame rates when that happens. When the watermark is barely visible, I get a decent average framerate of ~50 FPS.
I've gotten Steam to work fine (as far as I can tell).
I've only tried CS:S so far (I should try out HL2 soon to compare/test). I don't get a very good framerate on that though. I'm not sure if it is due to the constantly fading watermark or some other setting. It doesn't concern me that much since I can always turn down video settings, and I don't even play CS:S very much. I remember a while ago that I (and a bunch of other people) got horrible framerates after an update, but I would think they have fixed that by now (that was the last time I played it on my computer before trying it on Cedega, btw).
I was able to install the original StarCraft easily. I can't connect to battle.net (it automatically exits when I try to). I read somewhere that I should try installing the patch that I can get from blizzard's site, but I can't seem to get that to work either. When I try to install the 1.13f patch through Cedega I get an error, and also this info:
Code:
Registry error loading key 'Starcraft\InstallPath'
File not found
RESULT: Prepatch failed
Has anyone been able to get StarCraft to work properly on b.net through Cedega and/or Wine (or whatever else)?
I cannot install BroodWar either because it says I need to have the full version of StarCraft before installing BroodWar.
I also tried getting Xfire to run. I was able to get it to run at first, but the text in the buddy list doesn't show up (except menus and stuff). If I hover over the area that would normally show a friend I can see info like how I would see if I hovered over it in Windows. Now I just get an error report that they want me to send to them. I'm very interested to know if anyone has gotten xfire to run properly in cedega or in Linux in general.
I'd really appreciate any help I can get, thanks.
