GAH! teh frustration...

I downloaded the Cedega and Point2Play debs, to try and make everything as easy as possible for installing Battlefield under Linux. What crap man...Battlefield gives me some Installshield error in cedega, Point2Play is uglier than I thuoght, and again, I failed to install BF. I'm pretty sure this works fine under regular Wine, but regular Wine will not play 3d stuff...maybe I need to install it with Wine, then use Cedega to run the .exe? I don't know, either way, after reading through some posts at the Transgaming website, it appears people have a lot of problems in BF that are unresolved. They mainly deal with the newest patch (1.61, which you must have to play online) and punkbuster (which most servers have online, so if that doesn't work, you're screwed too). So...I think I'll have to wait for Wine to completely implement these nifty DirectX 9 patches.
