    Homeworld SDL

    Hey all,

    Anyone here tried the Homeworld SDL? I'm told its still alpha but playable.

    Homeworld runs perfectly in wine anyhew, so I just play it that way but I'm always interested in the natives.

    Oh and btw HOMEWORLD IS THE GREATEST RTS OF ALL TIME.....DISAGREE WITH ME..... I DARE YA

    Re: Homeworld SDL

    Hi I have tried long time ago.

    As far as I am concerned it was working well. However for some reason i used homeworld to play in cedega. (I guess bec. i was lazy to recomile everytime when i changed distro) but know that i have LTS and not changing it i might try it again. Actually i will try as wine and cedega in full screen make me loose 1/3 of my fps and it might not happen in the linux port.

    If you try I would be interested in the result as well

    i have never benchmarked it, but Homeworld in wine suffers from no *noticeable* drop in framerate on my box.

    I'm gonna give it a try, although I am a bit lazy
