Cedega 7.0 - Worth it?

[Snipersnest]

Hello everyone.. I'm a previous customer of Cedega 5 and beta 6 .. I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to use Cedega 7?

Is theres really any good advantage at this point in going back to Cedega over Wine?

Games I play - WoW: WotLK - C&C RA3 - CS: Source - HL2 - and sometimes random others.

What would be the advantage to going back over staying with Wine? I'm unable to post this same question on the Cedega forums since my subscription isn't active.

Thank you for your answers.

Sometimes Cedega plays game better than wine ( like in Warcraft, NFS...AFAIK ).
If you use cedega, you don't have to manually install DirectX and some native dll, cedega do it for you.

Anyone noticed any change in FPS or anything like that in WoW between wine and cedega?

Crossover Games does WoW too.

Codeweavers (the Crossover people) are the primary corporate sponsors of the Wine project. The maintainer of Wine works for Codeweavers too.

i use cedega 7 since a few days now to play WOW and i have to say it's rock stable, absolutely no crashes. i've used wine and cx-games before, with both wow crashed once a while, but not with cedega7.
i can't say much about the other games, wow runs great and for me its worth the money

Kind of off-topic, but you don't have to install DX in Wine at all, it already has it. You might have to override some DLL files, but only when really required and even then its not like it is really hard to do that.

As for the topic, I personally haven't used the latest Cedega, but the product itself has a pretty spotty history (not all of it related to its functionality). For certain games, it may be worth it, others, not so much. Generally speaking, Wine and CrossOver Games have wider support for games, while Cedega has superior support for some very specific games (the short list of "supported" games). If you really want to do all your gaming on Linux, then Cedega may be a bit too limited, though if you only play certain games on Linux that happen to be on Cedega's "supported" list, then it is good enough.
