Re: I can\'t remember if I\'ve asked this...
There's been no specific directX or better version specified. I'd say any that work with Starfury probably work with SE:V.

Re: I can\'t remember if I\'ve asked this...
Well the thing is that SF apparently doesn't like Wine's implementation of DX8 (or 7 or whatever version it uses), but there's work being done on an implementation of 9, so I was hoping SE5 would be using DX9 instead of the earlier version that SF was...
Trust me, I WILL switch back to windows if I really have to...

I'll bet if you set your virus protection right, it would identify Windows as the virus it really is!  |

Re: I can\'t remember if I\'ve asked this...
Well, I've got some encouraging news from Malfador:

Starfury requires DirectX 7 and SE5 requires DirectX 8. Let's hope it works!

If I'm not mistaken, DX8 is already fairly well supported in Wine; the reason Starfury doesn't work must be because it uses DX7.
Oh, and it looks like I'm not the ONLY person who calls it "SE5" instead of "SEV"

Binary huh?
Though it also sounds like a tutorial or something...
Maybe we should call it SE ||||| (counting in unary)
