Flash might try install twice let it install both times.
#INSTALL GWENT MAC WINE PC#
Using Wine, it allows you to download PC versions of your games and run them regularly through Wine. Many thanks to the guys behind Wine.I would recommend installing PC Steam on your Mac. You can turn off the Launcher option in the WoW login screen, even though it now defaults to 'on' rather than 'off' as it used to do. WoW seems to prefer that you do not use the Launcher, especially in Wine - although Cedega usually copes even with the Launcher. It seems to work if you go back to ALSA after it has installed, although OSS also works and gives sound in the game.
For example, in WoW, you need to select the OSS sound option rather than ALSA, or the Installer crashes. Some games have minor issues, either when installing or running them. In each case, the Installer runs (if you are lucky), just as in Windows. For Cedega, you run the Gui and click 'Install'.
#INSTALL GWENT MAC WINE HOW TO#
I admit I don't know much about games availability for the Mac - nor much about the Macs themselves unfortunately - so this might not be much help in reality.Īs for how to install a game in Wine - just type 'wine setup.exe', or whatever the installation executable is, in a console session. Maybe Games developers will produce Mac versions of their games - which might lead to Linux ones as well. Perhaps Apple might actually have done us a favour - after all, MacOS X is essentially Linux as far as I can see.
Until they do, Wine and the various commercial flavours of it are the best we can hope for. It would be much better if developers released Linux versions of their games (as Bioware did for NWN - although not for NWN2). To see a Windows application running on a Linux system better and faster than on Windows is still pretty amazing. Nonetheless, the free version of Wine is pretty amazing as well. That just happens to be what I was looking for.įor games support, I would say Cedega seems well worth the money. Cedega always have aimed more for games support (since back when they were called WineX). From the applications they list, it is clear they are aiming for the office market. Oddly enough, this runs flawlessly in Wine as well - so it is probably just a very well-behaved application. In fact, the only program which ran flawlessly in Crossover was the Palm Books eReader - which Crossover do not support. Although it may be good for office systems, with games I found it no better than the free version of Wine. I also tried Crossover, which was not as successful. I have had it running successfully in Kubuntu, PCLinuxOS, Slackware 12, CentOS and SuSE 10.1. Since it is a Windows game and requires an emulator in order to run on Linux, that doesn't say a lot for the overhead caused by using Windows.
In Cedega, it runs better than in Windows. World of Warcraft is sometimes a little troublesome in Wine, although it is usually OK. I run Neverwinter Nights (using the Linux client), plus World of Warcraft (using Cedega or just Wine).
