What about Linux ?

[kostandrea]

So yeah due to my motherboard getting fried i don't have windows anymore and i have to compromise with an old pc that i have put linux on the thing is that i can't get the games for linux(by the way wine just doesn't work for me) so why not make a linux convertion since the games are open source ?

 

p.s. please make .deb file for ubuntu because i have lubuntu

[FunkyFr3sh]

none of the games are open source, but many people use wine+winetricks dotnet2.0 to play on cncnet

[kostandrea]

if they are not open source then how do you eplain this ? http://www.openra.net/ (and as i said wine doesnt work for me)

The only reason why i came to u was because i want the originall multiplayer not this one they broke it

[FunkyFr3sh]

openra is a remake, they did not use any of the original code and that is probably why you think they broke it

we only support the original games here, everything we do has been done in x86 assembly without having any source code. So wine is the only option sadly ;(

 

what is the problem with wine on your end? It is a must have for any linux user, you should really find out what the problem is

[kostandrea]

where do i start in some supported games it has massive fps drop no punk buster and it causes a lot of con lag while i have an adsl line (that in all games)

[kostandrea]

anyway thnks

how old is your pc at all? Wine takes a lot more resources than running the game on win XP for example. You need at least a dual core cpu, that is for sure

 

Get windows XP somewhere, or even win7 .. both will be able to run the game just fine with older pcs

Nobody should suffer using Linux.

it has a pentium 4 on 3.20ghz the mb is not even a ddr and it has 1gb of ram it started with xp but i put lubuntu on it to make it faster anyway not your prob i have solution with my old mb wits is ddr2 and with core 2 duo but it will only be availble for me in the summer (due to school) so it is that i kept the hardrives

 

[FunkyFr3sh]

it might be faster in some ways with linux, but playing windows games is not an option with that specs on linux. Win7 would run fine with that pc, you could even start the game multiple times without problems

[kostandrea]

i know as i said old gaming pc even the processor on this pc that i am using right now can run a 32-bit (maybe 64-bit) version off win 8

It will work in GDI rendering mode, but you will get a lot more performance in XP. I have a Pentium 4 3.06Ghz
