Re: [hlds_linux] STEAM 2 supporting winex users?
I've actually have never had any luck using the winex cvs version from from Gentoo. If I don't use the official release package none of my games will install. The guy who was asking about a decent HTML editor for linux. Try Code Forge. Its not free but its worth the money.

For those of you who have mastered this already how do you find gameplay when compared to winblows? James. For me its compairable. My framerate is 70-100 at 1024x768 opengl and I don't have any issues with lag or sound problems. BUT alot of people have nothing but trouble. You have to have a _solid_ video card and enable hardware acceleration. I use a 128M GeForce4 Ti-4200 with the nvidia drivers on redhat 7.3 and enlightenment. I also have dual monitors, and play in a 1024x768 window, but a single monitor can go full screen. To pass VAC checks, I believe you need to run winex (I use the binarys), as wine _may_ flag you as a cheater. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken. Check out transgaming.com for info on winex. I love playing in linux, and wouldn't consider windows after seeing the light. It takes the right mix of hardware, software, and guts to pull it off, but IMHO well worth it.
