WineX 3.0 Examined

GonzoJohn writes "When I first subscribed to Transgaming's WineX 2.1 product last year, I was pleasantly surprised that nearly half of the games I had were supported to a degree. The games that did run ran pretty flawlessly. The games that didn't work had varying degrees of success, all just short of actually being able to play the game (the installers seemed to work). With the release of WineX 3.0 from Transgaming on April 17th this year, it looked like it was time to revisit the wonderful world of Wine. This time around, Transgaming WineX 3.0 has some new tools as well as improvements in the number of games supported and gaming speeds. In this article, we're going to take a look at the new features of WineX 3.0, with a focus on their new GUI installer called Point2Play."

    OK, I have installed RH9 at home and I can not get winex to run after gettng the CVS version....
    I have tried using the
    --with-nptl
    option but now I still get weird errors about not having a ~/.wine/wineserver-computername/socket, and I have no idea what it actaully means, but if I run wineserver -p, it goes away. But when I run wine it just hangs and does nothing.

    So can people please post how they got winex3.0 from CVS to work on RH9, and then play WC3?

    "You're right. Version number jokes never get old. They are repeated and repeated, year after year, but they are still just as clever and inventive as they were five years ago."

    I can't wait until a minor update to Mozilla is made so that it gets a small increment to it's version number. Then it'll make it to the /.'s front page and I can let fly a whole slew of version number jokes!
