go to www.transgaming.com and check out what they say. The list is pretty long and a lot of games sort of work so check ou their message boards for specific games and such.

I have winex3.

1.2 Ghz, GF3, 280Mb ram, Gentoo 1.4.

Deusex runs with ~25 frames in 640*480, on 1024*768 it's less than 10fps
Halflife does not run at all : it shows a black screen with a somehow corrupted game menu and that's it. I have to kill wine to recover my system.

All in all very disappointing !

(And I followed the tutorials on the net, don't know why it does not work

I play Jedi Knight II, Half-Life, Soldier of Fortune 2 and Star Trek Elite Force flawlessly

Why did Transgaming release a product when a new glibc was coming out and all the Distro's changed to it.

That's probably the biggest problem of playing anything on it.

Hrm, not sure what version of glibc you are referring to but here is what Transgaming had to say at the release of 3.0 when glibc was at version 2.3.1:

Update : Jedi Knight2 runs : but only at half the speed as it does in windows.... Winex3 is really disappointing me

Hi !

I have updated DeusEx to the newest version, and neither D3D nor OGL nor Software work fine

With wine I cannot run *any* game, it simply quits directly without displaying an error or something like that... don't ask me why

Does anyone have any ideas

?

WineX game support seems to be a pretty hit and miss affair. A game may work acceptably for one person and not at all for another. There just doesn't seem to be enough consistency to compel me to part with $15. That and Transgaming thumbing their nose at the open source community are two good reasons I don't support them.

It works very good for me.

It runs Warcraft III, Battlefield 1942, Commandos II, Settlers IV, Diablo II, Starcraft, Simcity 4, Simcity 3000 and Baldurs Gate 2 flawlessly for me.

It also runs Soldier of Fortune II and Deus Ex perfect for me, but that already worked using Wine.

Diablo II worked very good using wine, but Battle.Net play had some hitches. Everything is completely perfect using WineX.

Performance is all comparable to the performance in Windows, and the performance of Commandos II is even way better than that in windows, Windows gave me several visual glitches and wasn't completely smooth; using WineX is it.

All in all, I'm very satisfied with my WineX3 purchase.

Even the Desert Combat modern full-conversion for Battlefield is running with wineX

yep got that running as well. Although I havn't been able to install it directly, I had to copy over the DesertCombat dir from my win installation and it works great.

Only thing is with winex is that the copy protect doesnt work yet so you will need a noCD crack. I found one that would get me online with DC as well
