UT2004 runs nearly flawlessly under Wine, and is about 10,000 times easier to install than its Linux counterpart. The only problem I'm having is running it full screen. What's the command for that? For example, is it something like: $wine UT2004.exe --full-screen I know --full-screen is the right option, so which is it? (Without editing the config file, or course.) :) Thanks!

Hiji, My only reason for using wine is Half-Life. I use CXOffice for all other Win apps that I need to run. For Half-Life, the only wine version that works correctly is 20031016. Yes, October 2003. Every couple of months I try the latest wine, but the results are always the same, a critical function does not work, usually save game, load game and new game. I had hoped that the change to registry only, no config, might make things work, but no, I still have to use 20031016. Perhaps you should try different "legacy" versions until you find one that works satisfactorily? Before anyone suggests I try debugging wine versions after 20031016 to see where things broke, I did try that but could not find any one change that caused the problem. Apparently a lot of things were changed around the end of 2003. Anyway, good luck, Rick Knight Hiji wrote:>Hi Rick, > >Thanks for the feedback, but is there a way to do it >via the commandline?

Hiji, What desktop are you using? In KDE, you can slide the menu out of the way. If you are using KDE, look for a button on the far right of the menu bar. Rick Knight Hiji wrote:>Many thanks...

I haven't tried Transgaming/Cedega for quite a while. How current is it with wine itself? Is it based on a recent version? Thanks, Rick Knight

Wow. Half-Life and Unreal run great. Only one problem so far, in the newer versions of Cedega the OpenGL does not work in Unreal, but DirectX works fine so it is really a minor problem form. Thanks for pointing me back to Cedega. Rick Knight
