[hlds_linux] WINE problems...
I am still unable to connect to my secure servers with WINE after the last updates. It starts the connection process, but right when it usually says 'downloading and precaching' and the timer should go away, it doesnt. It just freezes. Then I have to kill the process. Some anti-cheat test is locking up wine... thanks. How about a Linux Steam CLIENT so wine is no longer an issue That would rule! -- Later, they were tied to the bumper of a car and dragged around the block, as onlookers shrieked with delight. But one old man, who had a banjo, just shook his head and walked away. The crowd noticed this and set him on fire. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
RE: [hlds_linux] WINE problems...
How about The client is for Windows. Wine is a hack. Your Some anti-cheat test is locking up wine... statement seems a little accusing. You're lucky that they give a SHIT about Wine. HalfLife is a Win32 program. Always has been. And will continue to be. I'm not entirely sure why they care at all about someone in Linux running a Win32 program, but again, you're lucky they do. You know they're working on the compatibility (Despite having no real reason to do so), so leave the attitude out next time. - Tyler [TASF]Overkill Schwend Semper facere bonum, an a amare odium, vita mors. --- Server operator of [LCGA]Telefragged: Counter-Strike: telefragged.lynchburg.edu:27015 http://schwend-t.web.lynchburg.edu http://gamephilez.us ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

According to the great words of Tyler \Overkill\ Schwend: How about The client is for Windows. Wine is a hack. Your Some anti-cheat test is locking up wine... statement seems a little accusing. You're lucky that they give a SHIT about Wine. HalfLife is a Win32 program. Always has been. And will continue to be. I'm not entirely sure why they care at all about someone in Linux running a Win32 program, but again, you're lucky they do. You know they're working on the compatibility (Despite having no real reason to do so), so leave the attitude out next time. Funny, I didn't get any attitude out of the original post. To me, it read as somebody reporting a problem and requesting enhancements. The only attitute is in your reply. As to why do they care, well, their users have requested linux support, so that's why they make it compatible. It's easier for them to make wine compatibility rather than a full linux port so that's the direction things are headed. We're not lucky for the support. We are the customers making valid requests for feature enhancements, and our vendor, who we have paid, is providing support. One final point: WINE is not a hack, it's a re-write of the Windows API for X. Do you call OpenGL as it is implemented in Windows a hack simply because that was not the first platform it was implemented on? No. The same follows here. The Win32 API may have first been written on Windows, but it can be written equally well or better on any other platform. There is nothing hackish about it. -Mad -- A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven.
