Just curious....
| |
What are you talking about? It was running almost perfectly with previous versions.
| |
Well I'm going to be testing it later tonight, so stay tuned :)

Crossover can't do anything that wine can't do (functionality wise). All it does is offer company-backed support and easier installations for popular programs. I seriously doubt it will offer any improvements to installing BYOND over Wine.
That said, BYOND stopped working via Wine for me quite a while ago. Not to mention the way Wine handles BYOND text (slow scrolling) was unbearable for me. I just use Windows XP running as a VirtualBox guest OS. However, I am still interested in how it performs under Wine, as installing BYOND through Wine is a lot quicker than installing a guest OS in VirtualBox. | |
It runs fine for Chatters with the riched overwrites. I haven't tried anything else recently.
| |
It runs fine on wine for me. I have the latest wine. Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10
Moving on a map is laggy though for some reason. I just am using it to develop. | |
Doesn't work well for me with Wine 1.1.42 and Ubuntu 10.04. Dreamseeker refuses to open and it won't even give me a traceback. =/

I tried to actually play a game and found there there is "lag" for me and they aren't really playable, it is hard to move across a big map.
Developing works fine for me so far. | |

I fixed it by downloading winetricks and running 'winetricks vcrun6'. I think it might have something to do with mfc42.dll... At least this is what my backtrace told me. | |
However, it's not easy to install BYOND with it at all... MS Office sure is easy though.
BYOND just isn't suitable to run on Linux. It's too tightly integrated into the Windows API. Sorry, a Linux version has to be developed specifically otherwise it will never run on Linux.
