Did you try Enemy Territory? It's an amazing game that uses ID's RTCW engine. It's beautiful, lots of peoples playing, server adm are more mature then CS kids, much less cheaters. Instead of choosing CT's or T's, you play as Axis or Allies. But it's similarities ends there. You can play as an engineer, who can build bridges or fix tanks, as Soldier, as Cover Ops, Medic. It's just so great. Only problem is... way too many peoples and few servers on the weekend. It's also native for Linux. So as you see, it's nothing as Valve's engine...
I cannot understand peoples fight to get CS running, it's dated, it's full of cheaters and Valve's does not give a dime for Linux...
Ok, that was my little rant . If you still want to try getting wine and CS, check out also Frank's Corner:
I've gotten it working with both wine and winex (at separate times).
I don't know what I did to get it working under wine, but under winex it was pretty simple.
Ok guys,
I appreciate for the help.
I installed WINE, and so when I got to terminal, and try to type in any wine commands, it says segmentaion fault . What do I do?
Originally posted by win32sux what kinda hardware power do you need for enemy territory???
basically, i have:
- nvidia tnt2 m64 (32mb)
- amd duron 850mhz
- 256mb pc-133 ram
i wonder if it's enough to run ET... if it is, i'm gonna download it tonight...
=)
ps: i'm able to run the old unreal tournament (game of the year edition) fairly decently on this thing...
Sure thing mate. I doubt that the system requirements should be higher then RTCW itself. Here is the official sr:
# 3-D Hardware Accelerator (with 16MB VRAM with full OpenGL® support
# Pentium® II 400 Mhz processor or Athlon® processor
# 128 MB RAM
# 16-bit high color video mode
# 800 MB of uncompressed hard disk space for game files (Minimum Install), plus 300 MB for the Windows swap file
# Quad-speed CD-ROM drive (600 K/sec. sustained transfer rate)
That's for windows. Usually Linux requires a little bit more (don't ask me why, but I've noticed it, as Game Torque Engine, for example). I've ran RTCW in a AMD Duron 800 MHZ with the same graphics card and amount of memory as yours, so yes, it will run nicely . We should also start a LQ-clan lol
Hey guys,
I'm trying to actually configure WINE, and i went to the wineHQ, and to install it says un-archive the tar.gzip... But the wine I downloaded was a RPM?
How would I do this?
As for my experience playing cs with wine(x) wont be smooth with any machine so you better stick to a native linux game or a dual boot system.
ok there are native games like q3, ut200(3/4) and et of course (and man its free!!)
not to mention q3 kickass mods like ra3, cpma, urban terror, osp ... and so on
with the urls above you should get steam working with winex easily but for me (glxgears 7500fps) it was never windows-smooth ;(

I have an Athlon 1.333 GHz, 512mb sdram, 30gb maxtor drive, and a GF4 mx 420 graphics card, and I play Steam/Counter-Strike 1.6 very smooth with WineX 3.3 and Point2Play. After a few tweaks you can get it to perform equally well as it does with Windows. No joke.
