There are indeed some issues with stronghold 3, but it is still quite enjoyable imo. One big annoyance for me is the building and unit cap, but that can be fixed by simply editing one of the config files.

Let's hope they go back to the UT 2k3 and before formula. I completely lost interest once they introduced vehicles and large maps.

Quoting: AnonymousBut you should have up to date wine (no crossover or playonlinux version)

You can have any wine version in playonlinux, even one you compile from source yourself (which I've had to do for a game once). When a new version is released, it's in the pol repo within a day.

I think they will find enough interest if they request some numbers from valve on users running borderlands through wine (which works just about perfectly btw).

Quoting: AnonymousYou are awesome with your wine lol xD You seem to manage to make everything works so well xD How do you do it lol

I've gotten a LOT more games to run with less issues when I started using playonlinux. It makes it easy to manage a wine prefix per game, so you don't accidentally break something when trying to get something new to work.

I just create a clean prefix, install the game and try to run it. When it doesn't work, check the wine output and generally you will see what's wrong quite clearly (mainly missing DLL's). When you use steam the prerequisites for the game are automatically installed most of the time.

Also check the wine appdb, the good test results often have a list of prerequisites you need to install or tweaks to improve performance.

Let's hope the developers that are waiting for the steam boxes to release linux versions of their games are not going to let their games gather dust until the end of the year...

The have made an announcement today that the windows version will be released on the 23th.

The Steam OS (Linux) version will release with the respective new hardware.

So this could be quite a while still...

EDIT: you beat me with your edit :P

His work is actually the reason I bought a roccat mouse last year. His software seems to be quite close to the windows versions in terms of functionality.

When you open system monitor (or whatever it's called in your distro), you can see it loading stuff in memory and keeping 1-2 cpu cores busy. Here it actually starts when the game has allocated around 1.5GB of memory.

That's how I keep an eye on it to make sure it's not just hanging :P
