New Wine looks promising! :)

Hello! I just wanted to let you know that the new Wine, available here:
http://www.winehq.com/?announce=1.80
is a LOT better than previous ones! Xrandr support is great, and what they didn't tell you is that DirectX 8 support is a LOT better! I have been able to launch (with graphical bugs, sometimes severe) the following apps that would not start before:

C & C Renegade
Dungeon Siege

In the case of Dungeon siege, it would start before, but now you can see the menu graphics, and after an excruciatingly long loading time, play the game!!! It has many graphics glitches (at least on my ATI) but it's doing a whole lot better!! Check it out!

Yes!!! Ufo: Aftermath works perfectly in new wine (if played in window)! Intro is much faster (smooth actually) than in previous version! Great job!

I must admit, I didn't have any idea that Wine performed so well in games.

I thought that was what WineX was for

I don't suppose it supports Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne?

You'd need it installed in Windows first, before you try to copy it over since there is no installer-shield support.

Star Trek: Elite Force runs flawlessly, except when I go to play single-player it says to insert the CD even though I have it inserted and mounted.

Wine has many of the installshield fixes in it, but I am not sure that they work correctly.

I tried to install Hidden and Dangerous Deluxe (free game

) and install acted like it worked perfectly - only to find out that the directory I created for it was empty. Hmm. Anyone have any ideas on that one?

Everyone tells me that Warcraft III is working perfectly in Wine, but I never managed to get it work. It installed flawlessly, but whenever I try to start it:

I'm sorry I forgot to mention that I used a Windows install for Dungeon Siege etc.

Also, I have installed DCOM98, which may be why installshield mostly works.

Does Counter-Strike still work? Maybe even with voice-support?

I guess it's radeon..

I'm using nvidia gf3ti500. I haven't done any major changes to wine config.
