wine 0.9.46 works fine with Doom 3 but 0.9.47 doesn't
Hi, I would like to aks some question about 'wine'. I work on Debian lenny and I have installed new wine recently by upgrading my system with apt-get. I had befor wine-0.9.46 and now I have wine-0.9.47. I use this program only to play Doom 3. Doom is installed on Windows' partition - my system is dual boot.
Although wine had a little problem, application worked fine when I had 0.9.46 installed. Only a message like that Quote:

Re-install wine version 0.9.46?
Don't forget to make a bug report against the current release in the wine bug tracker, else they might not fix it. |
Native Linux client
Is there a reason you are not using the native Linux Doom 3 client? If not, use it instead! :) Id Software has native Linux clients for ET:CW, Quake 4, and the new ET:QW as well. They look and perform in Linux as good if not better than the Windows versions. Look here: http://zerowing.idsoftware.com

Hope it's not a pirated version :)
Wine isn't perfect, I think their site says that. I've noticed too that if one version of Wine can run some program(s), it doesn't mean all newer versions can. Bugs are of course fixed all the time, but of course Wine is never going to be as all-around-working as a native Windows (not talking about the native Windows bugs here). If you found a version of Wine that can run your program, stick to that. Don't fix a working thing - a thumb rule. And if there really is a Linux client for Doom 3, you should be using that and not running the Windows copy over Wine.. |
Thank you for your help. I see I cannot rely on wine in the future.
