Transgaming's WineX 2.1 - Supports WarCraft 3

Other games now included are: Grand Theft Auto 3, Civilization III, and Black and White. Check the press release for further info. And, if you haven't already, go here to get an account... It is definitely worth it." I've been rebooting my laptop to WC3, so maybe I'll give this a shot. I bought a subscription originally in part due to their misleading Sims compatibility claims, but this looks like it finally is truly emulating top windows games.

  1. WineX is SLOW. by Guspaz · · Score: 0, Troll

    Somebody did some benchmarks, and WineX is really really SLOW. This is what you get from emulation.

    So your options now seem to be:
    1) Reboot the machine in Windows and play the game natively
    2) Run the game with WineX and get a third or a quarter the speed.

    No thanks, I pick option 1!!!
