Well, the main thing is that Wine basically emulates the Windows
environment, so what might be one call to an API function in Windows
might be three calls in Wine. Plus Wine has problems with it and isn't
always very stable. Some programs only work in specific versions of
Wine... I would also question you getting better performance in Linux
then in Windows. You must have screwed up your Windows install
somehow...<br>

<pre wrap="">Also another question for you, why must I be doing something wrong in windows if I get better performance in linux? Just because your experience in linux was worse doesn't mean everyone else's machines are going to run the game worse in linux just like yours ;-)
Their could be serveral things that cause a performance decrease while running cod in linux on your machine, not saying their is, but it's possible, don't assume that everyone else's machine is going to run it like yours.
End statment, it runs fine with no problems weather I run it in windows or linux (on at least my machine), and I've played it a fair ammount of times to judge that, (again on my machine). I just prefer to use linux alot more than I use windows, wayyy to insecure, and buggy. . .

<pre wrap="">Well, performance feels about the same in both windows and linux, but I noticed when I run it in linux it feels more stable as with anything not running nativly on windows. . . So it's probably not a performance increase but more of a stability increase. . .
Yeah I don't notice a performance drop in either windows nor linux running w/e res I want, no I set my fps higher than my card can support so I can see what my max fps is while playing. . .
I don't really play fps's anymore, way too many of them, got too lame for me, doing the samething over and over gets repetitive and old.
But enough of this pissing contest, I just figured I would throw in my two sence. . .

something wrong. Maybe your refresh rate locks the fps to 60hz or something.
I have to run cod in 800x600 with linux to get anything near the
performance i have in windows, I also have to lower the texture detail etc.

<pre wrap="">I just copied my windows installation of cod, ran the game using winex, sounds work, game works, works just as it does in windows. . . better performance then windows acually, and a heck of a lot more stable ;-)

<pre wrap="">It doesn't work too well in winex... it tends to crash etc. And the
performance isn't that great, it's ok but not great.
After all, wine(x) emulates windows, it's a neat thing... but well, a
native linux port is prefered imho.

<pre wrap="">Question for y'all.
1. I have been trying to get wine to install CoD but I keep getting an
error on the install when it starts to try and copy the files. The path
that it is trying to copy files from is wrong. It seems that it has
added an extra directory to the path i.e. f:\docs\DOCS\filename.file
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
wine ver = 20030813
2. A client port to linux shouldn't be that difficult should it since
MOHAA is ported to linux. They are basically the same engine, aren't
they?
