Getting SEV to work with linux
Has anyone had any luck getting SEV to run under Wine? My experience is that it installs just fine, accepts the CD key, but then crashes with multiple "index out of bounds (-1)" errors when trying to run the game itself.

Re: Getting SEV to work with linux
I don’t know how well SE5 runs under Wine; however, I know from first hand experience I run really well under Wine. I may fall down once or twice!

Re: Getting SEV to work with linux
I have tried and tried. Can't get it working in wine or cedega. I have given into building a gaming box with windows on it. Switching between the linux computer and the windows computer with a kvm switch.

Re: Getting SEV to work with linux
I am not at all fluent in Linux, but I had the impression that no emulator can cope with DirectX.

No its just really hard. Many DirectX games are supported by cedega and even wine.

Re: Getting SEV to work with linux
This concerns me since I am looking to switch to Linux in the near future (increasingly obnoxious activation requirements by MS being one key reason). While it is too late for SEV, perhaps we could lobby Aaron to ensure that SE6 is more Linux-friendly - specifically by using OpenGL rather than DirectX?

Wine and Cedega are not emulators (Wine even stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator").

Re: Getting SEV to work with linux
See, told you I wasn't fluent. I thought WinE stood for WINdows Emulator.
