Thread: Linux/Mac Wine/Crossover Headcount

  1. #1

    Linux/Mac Wine/Crossover Headcount

    Just curious as to how many AO players are currently unable to play AO due to the recent "unsupported lockout"

    please post here if you do not play AO on windows.
    if you do play on windows, please DO NOT POST HERE

    the idea is to have this thread's reply count reflect how many are effected.

    AO still works in VM but the frame rate is verging on unplayable. Though I'm currently all frooby, I had intended to reactivate my subscription for awhile to sploit... erm... take advantage of the new phatz in the item mall.

    I used to play on a Windows laptop. I am not even sure if it boots up anymore and don't care as I will not endure Windows for the sole purpose of playing AO. I am toying with the idea of paying up and logging in but it would have to be on OSX or Linux if I do so. Until someone has a workaround for Craponium that will have to wait.

    Eve does not work on Linux too of Awesomium.dll is a problem. Because Eve uses it too. Hence the CCP logo on the Website of Awesomium.

    C'mon, nix community is so big and can code everything (at least I was told so why open source is good). Use these bearded guys who live in basements and they will make new kernel for you with native awesomium support :evil:

    I'm in the same boat here. No game is so important that I'll change operating systems just to play it.

    Goodbye, AO! The last 6 years have been decent.

    Oh the irony.

    Awesomium is based on WebKit and Chromium.

    WebKit is a branch-off based on Konqueror's KHTML engine, KDE's default and opensource browser. Chromium is the non-branded opensource version of Google Chrome's browser, which is based on various opensource projects including WebKit (type "about:credits" into your browser).

    In other words Awesomium wouldn't even exist if not for "these bearded guys who live in basements".

    Think you just answered it yourself.

    The devs not feeling like investing time in a Linux build for now. It's apparently coming in July though, which proves that it is possible.

    That, and keeping the source code closed to the general public so "these bearded guys who live in basements" can't do it themselves, instead requiring them to buy a license or sign a contract.

    Since some rare months, Anarchy was able to patch under wine WITHOUT futher anywhatever.
    The casual "i am a new penguin, let see the games" type of user could just download the client and start playing AO flawless on any Linuxbox.

    No $WINEPREFIX is needed anymore, winetricks the IE6 and there ya go, patch, play, test.

    Now we have again a showstopper here.

    I hope we dont have to wait too long for a solution ..

    I use Windows (I know, I'm the devil) but my question is why weren't any of these problems found when the browser was supposedly on test. It seems like even Windows users are experiencing strange effects from Awesomium, not to mention the whole virus scanner issue that's been recurring. Sounds like some seriously bad testing if you ask me.
