Support / Re: Works better on Linux than Vista :D
« on: December 13, 2007, 06:02:39 am »
Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10) plus Wine 0.9.50 runs the demo quite well, as documented at http://appdb.winehq.org/. There's still some unclarity about how well registration works. I guess it didn't work so well in the initial release, but there's a replacement .exe floating around, but I don't know if that's included in the more recent releases, or if it's missing other fixes that are present in recent releases, etc.
So that's been my excuse not to buy the windows version so far. That and the fact that I'll have to install different versions of wine for playing Aquaria and playing Sam and Max or Portal (while Aquaria likes the newer 0.9.50, the other games seem to do better with the version of Wine that Gutsy shipped with.) We'll see how long that lasts... That FAQ about "yeah there's a linux version but we don't know when" is such a tease.
