I was basing that more on their definition of 'support', Cedega lets me run Halflife and MOHAA no problem. I got one reply, which suggested that perhaps my GeForce 4 Ti would not be 'enough' to run HL2. Whatever. Surprisingly, linux-gamers.net (despite the volume of complaints) has a howto on installing Cedega CVS. I'm giving that a shot, as the WineX cvs did compile, but beyond that I have no idea what to do. I installed it, but it never actually installed 'winex', even though there's a binary included for that (?). > Can't help you with Wine/WineX, but here, Cedega has performed well on my > comp and my sons/stepson. > > WITH the notable exception of <drumroll please> Half Life 2. > > I can NOT get that game to work, no matter what I've tried.

I figured out how to install it, but I could not for the life of me remember who it was, or on what list, we had that discussion about. Well, yer in luck (maybe). It's real easy. Install Steam, run Steam, set up an account on Steam, then install the game over the 'Net. Takes a while, but I finally got it installed... only to find out that no Steam games would run because Cedega, in their infinite wisdom, sends 'bogus' (that's the exact word Transgaming support used) info re your video card to Steam, preventing you from accessing any of the video settings. Brilliant. > I don't know what I'd do without Guild Wars... :D Well, if you manage to get HL2 installed and working, lemme know. -- JoeHill / RLU #282046 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Cubert: "Why do I have to be the hump?"
