Little.B Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I wanted to ask this question in the chat but sadfully it wasn't asked. So: Does any body know if EaW will run on other "non-Windows" OS' like Mac OSX or Linux? Here in Germany we have a very, very large Linux Community and computer nerds are alway big science fiction fans This is a market Petro and LA should not miss http://www.pexsus.com/~littleb/eaw/banner_eaw.jpgFeel the ForceIRC (QuakeNet): #empireatwar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JediIgor Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Were you the guy who kept asking about that? I have said it once, and I'll say it again.. if you're smart enough to use Linux, you're smart enough to use Wine. Now go and be at peace my Linux comrade.

Swiftdraw Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 They got an emulator for everything baby, just gotta know where to look. Dunna worry about it! I would run linux but you need a bit more RAM than usual to run the emulator and keep the game at the same frame rate as you would have on Windows. Though I've two gigs, so that isn't an excuse... Ok, I'm lazy and am content with XP, how'z that? I'm now teh lurker.http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/bg/type/2/swiftdraw.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I'm lazy and am content with XP, how'z that? If you're using Linux, then Wine Is Not an Emulator.. it's just a wrapper for Windows calls. But yes, it will use up a little more memory but that's not a problem because its an emulator, but because wrappers in general cause meaningless overhead thanks to the way the languages are designed.

Little.B Posted November 12, 2005 Author Share Posted November 12, 2005 Mh. Is WINE still in development? I only heared of Cedega last times I tried to inform myself about gaming issues on Linux. But this costs money so not really a "true Linux thing"... http://www.pexsus.com/~littleb/eaw/banner_eaw.jpgFeel the ForceIRC (QuakeNet): #empireatwar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JediIgor Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Not only is WINE still in development they hit beta a few weeks ago, and they support DirectX9 too. As for Cedega, I would never even touch it with a ten-foot pole because it goes against the spirit of open source (they fork Wine, then decide to make money off it? nice trick..) and it supports only the most popular games (which Wine supports anyways, but maybe a month or two later).

Little.B Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 Ah ok. Thanks. Due to my brother is very into Linux I think I might give it a try whenever the next "format c:" comes around http://www.pexsus.com/~littleb/eaw/banner_eaw.jpgFeel the ForceIRC (QuakeNet): #empireatwar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazingonion Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Well, I don't know about Linux, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Aspyr pick up EAW after it's release so us OS X folks will probably have EAW by summer.
