    here is wine's page on it: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManage...ation&iId=7960

    Apparently it needs some work. You should at least submit your test results and maybe wine will eventually take a look at it. If however you feel ambitious you could try to debug the errors and submit them one at a time. Then the bugs can get solved by wine developers and it can get fixed in later versions of wine.

    im going to try this game today. it looks really cool. cedega doesn't have listed as supported either, but this game didn't come out of beta too long ago, so it's still early.

    Re: Combat arms

    I have played the game in xp and Vista. I am having trouble getting the installer to work. it requires the gecko plug-in for firefox. I have installed the plug in and now am fighting with the installer to get the different install prompts to show properly. I am going to try running the installer through the windows version of firefox that I installed through wine. if it works I will create a how to for it and post it here.

    I was able to get this game installed on linux by installing through IE6 which I installed using playonlinux. to install via IE6, just hit "ctrl+O" and then browse to your CombatArmsSetup.exe file and open it. Just so you know, the mouse is a bit jerky. during gameplay.

    Although the game won't work on wine because Combat Arms has gamegaurd, and gameguard recognizes wine as an error or summin. Trust me, I've played Nexon games before

    Re: Combat arms

    Actually, you're wrong. I was able to play the game. There is only one small nuisance; the mouse is a little jerky. Do the following search on google, "winehq combat arms" This will bring you to the appdb of winehq, where you will find that several people have been able to get the game installed and played it.
