  • if you want to game in linux it would probably be better to run XP in a VM and the game within that VM, much easier to setup

  • A VM can not do very well with 3D Aceleration... in my case, I can not play Quake3 in a VM, and Q3 is a very low resources game, so crysis is not going to work .

  • Linux is way more customizable than Windows, and thanks to wine, a lot of games for windows actually work quite well.

    Why pay for an OS!?

  • cedega IS wine

  • @Mr123whatevah linux can't do advanced graphics like dx11, and won't in the next 5 years probably. Windows is, and will be the best gaming platform.

  • @nelizmastr oh maybe they're gonna update this to direct x 11 version

    and do u like gaming on windows?

  • eww that looks bad and worst of all it runs bad........man linux is kinda good.....but wine sucks ballzzz

  • @Mr123whatevah nope. it sure cant. Limited to dx9 rendering through OpenGL.

    I havent touched linux since typing the comment lulz.

  • @nelizmastr yeah i know but can it run battlefield 3

  • @rmmarkus: not quite true...

    in case of VirtualBox, it do support 2D & 3D acceleration. 3D acceleration works only for OpenGL and even DirectX8 (not 7, not 9, no 10..etc).

    Give VirtualBox a try, and u will never go back to a crappy VMWare where even menu-windows get somehow stuck bcz there is no 2D acceleration.

  • @Roflofl129 I stick to windows for now. All the compiling makes my head spin XD

  • @nelizmastr i wouldn't define this as working quite well. THIS is working quite well

  • the reason its running at like 10fps is because of the sea of debug messages you're seeing in the console. Disable the debugging in wine (I don't know how to do it off the top of my head) and you'll get 2-3x more performance.

  • Crysis isn't best known for it's great graphics. Turn the graphics to max and try again.
