sniffer Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 I don't think so... Wine software don't handle such project like LockOn or DCS bu in fact I didn't try this... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EtherealN Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 It might be possible to run it through Transgaming Cedega. The big question mark is how to allow StarForce ProActive to function within that. There are however ways to install Wine that allows you to use the regular Windows dll's which, if I have understood it correctly, would make the system essentially look like any other Windows for an application and thereby potentially allow DCS and it's protection to run. It is complex to achieve though. But generally speaking, since DCS doesn't focus on the newest Dx10.1 graphics, the only thing that would be incompatible with Cedega should be the protection. Aside from that, you should be able to run DCS with little or no performance loss on any Cedega-equipped Linux system. (In some instances there is even slightly increased performance compared to native windows, due to lesser OS overhead, but that depends on your configuration and the game itself.) There is also a question mark on handling affinities - I don't think DCSMax will work since it operates on system calls, but it might be possible to get around that. All of that aside: Fedora... Pfff... Debian or Archlinux is the way. :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
