The windows games you are able to play using wine

[praveesh]

Which are the windows games you are able to play in linux using wine?. I recently installed playonlinux(www.playonlinux.com) a front end of wine . With it , it is possible to play a lot of windows games like gta vicecity, hitman, prince of persia , halo etc . It automatically downloads the required hacks and tricks to make a software run .

You can check the Wine AppDB for that info. For me, Battlefield 2 works but Punkbuster doesn't, so I can't play on most servers.

Starcraft is pretty much the only game I still play that uses wine.

playonlinux can run games that are not in the appdb too

I was amazed to see these games running in linux .

Team Fortress 2 and CoD2 (although CoD2 doesn't work with ATI, but it worked great with my Nvidia card). Also SimCity 4 Deluxe works well.

CoD2 yes, but not on punkbuster enabled servers :(

I remember playing CoD 1, CoD 2, Civilization 4, ANNO 4 (can't remember the year), Assassin's Creed (with some strange movement related issues)... Basically everything I normally play on Windows, but all running a bit worse (except Civ4, which ran a bit better, i think).

farcry (getting it to work was a bit hard.. needed to download several .dll files., but now it works great.)

The rest of the old games I play work with dosbox..

I Play Guild Wars and Neverwinter Nights 2 all the time.

Just about every Paradox Interactive game, but currently I mostly play hearts of iron 3. I've got a 3-player lan game running, and it works perfectly. Also, eve online, which used to crash everytime I used voice chat, until I got rid of pulse audio, now it works without issues. Other than that, a game of starcraft when I've got someone to play it with.

Thanks for good info will try playing CS with it

[americano70e10]

CS works fine, as long as you have a somewhat decent video card and working driver.
I run 1.6 here with a nvidia geforce4 on wine. Had some issue with sound but it was easily fixed.

GTA San Andreas works perfect

if you have the hardware

I tried Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy with Wine.

Yeah I realised that. Forgot to add a smiley face. :)

For those of you running newer games, what are your system specs? I installed Steam with wine-doors (which is amazing), but the source games give me like 10-15fps. I'm running them (mostly interested in TF2) with DX8.1 and have all the settings turned down, but it's still a slide show.

My computer is a few years old. I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is what I'm stuck with or if there's something i can do to improve it. (Athlon 64 X2 4400, 2GB RAM (PC4200 I think), GeForce 7950 GT.)
