Newly Released WineX 2.2 Supports EverQuest

Posted by timothy on from the full-cuppa dept.

Mattzilla writes "The latest release of Transgaming's WineX (details available here) now supports EverQuest. You asked for it, here it is. This release also has Direct 3D and Direct Show updates as well as fixes for Mandrake 9.0 and RedHat 8.0 CD device auto-detection. With EverQuest now under Linux I'm sure a great deal of people won't find a need to be dual-booting any longer." The EverQuest support is called "preliminary"; check out those release notes for a few known problems and workarounds.

    Why would you need Norton Utilities to run under emulation on Linux? None of the utilities are going to help you fix anything on a Linux box.

      I'm not sure they ever fixed anything in Windows either...

    Given that:
    a) most Everquest addicts only eat/sleep/shower after a Windows BSOD ends their 15 hour EQ session;
    b) Linux can run for months or even years without a reboot;
    I conclude that this is a bad idea.
