Anyone have any luck getting Stormfront to work completely on Wine? I might actually use my Ubuntu boot more often. I tried getting it to work once but the window kept losing focus randomly whether I was typing in commands or not.

Me being the noob at both Wine and Ubuntu comes here seeking for advice.


Edit : I'm not completely bad with it, I did manage to get WoW working using some guide I found. I'm familiar with terminal commands and such as well.

Yeah, SF on Wine just isn't quite there yet. I know there are a few people who run Windows in a VM for GS stuff, but I don't have the horsepower to do that with my current rig.

And for some reason I don't see anyone patching Wine just to get some text based game client working on it. I'll read more on running Windows in a VM. Thanks for that.

Yeah and its not like you can just dive into the code even if you are a programmer because that code base is SCARY.

Yeah even patching it to get WoW to work I glanced around it and was like WTF is wrong with these people.

I can't say my code is any better but DAMN at least I don't show it to people.

Well, you have to keep in mind that they are reimplementing Microsoft API and have to feature and bug complete in order to replicate all the functionality.
