Well, I at last managed to install BYOND on WINE and I'm amazed how well it is integrated(my first day actually using GNU/Linux, my first time using WINE).

Dream Maker and Dream Seeker seem to work fine so far(except that they take quite long to load, but maybe that's my slow CPU), but I have a problem with byond.exe - When I try to login, my CPU usage raises to maximum for a bit, then the window blacks out and disappears and I have to terminate the process.

I have no idea what the problem might be, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the internet connection. Anyone mind helping me out there?

Btw., I am on Ubuntu Intrepid if it matters.

Stephen001	Mind opening up a terminal and doing: wine --version I suspect the version of Wine Ubuntu packs is 1.0, which wouldn't do you all that well.

CIB	Oh, err.. 1.0.1, though I actually downloaded and compiled by myself.. I guess it's still using the apt-version. Thought by making it it also gets installed? Meh, I'll just try to install it from their repositories.

CIB	Very well, it works, but.. It lags like hell, I have about 1 FPS o.0 Any way to fix it? :'(

Stephen001	Not really, which is why it has a Bronze rating, problems even for normal use.

CIB	So there is no other way for me to play BYOND games without getting lagged to hell, other than installing Windoze? I installed the proprietory drivers for my ATI and it seems to work better now, though it's still quite laggy.

Stephen001	The mechanisms BYOND uses for drawing are just not fully implemented in Wine, so I guess so.

CIB	Well, that atleast leaves the hope that it will be implemented some time.

Flame Sage	Did you read our AppDB Entry? There's a few tips on there to make it more compatible.
