Is there a way to get freelancer working under linux?


I just got freelancer and I was wondering if there was a way to play it on linux? I have the disk so all i need is an installer or emulator of some-kind.
PS: I dont like WineX. Not free :-(

You want to run a Micro$haft game under Linux?!?!?

The only one I've got to work is Fury3.

The closest you could get would be WineX/Cedega. But that's even a lost cause. Nobody has gotten any but a very select few M$ games to run with WineX/Cedega. M$ puts some form of Windoze version checking in their install routines that can tell you aren't installing it on Windoze...

Most other games don't do that.
