Cedega is shit. Don't buy that crap. Everything Cedega does, Wine does better.
But nothing beats native ports, when they are done around the same time as the Windows port.
UT3 is not a great game. It won't last. It's not played that much anymore. It's sad. I used to look forward to it.

Originally posted by Kano View PostOpenGL based games can run very fast with wine, even before the Doom 3 Linux binary was out wine was able to run it - and not even slow. But games like UT3 don't have go a OpenGL renderer anymore - if it would have got one, it could run MUCH faster than using the D3D renderer using wine. To port a game without OpenGL render path is certainly more demanding than when it is already there. Not sure if they needed that already for a PS3 port, if so they could add it to an update too...

Does a game being part of the "Games for Windows" initiative preclude it from coming out on other platforms?Last edited by dammarin; 23 May 2009, 05:22 AM.

Solution: Buy Cedega, end of problem
Cedega is closed source and ATI isn't officially supported...two major disadvantages.
