CrossOver

[jvargas105]

I installed crossover and it works awesome the only problem is when I load Unreal Tournament or Dues Ex I watch it go through the whole install procedure and if I click play right afte install it works great but as soon as I close the game and look for it Its no where to be found. Does anyone have any ideas?

Using CrossOver to install games?? That's new :)

For UT, there are native installers to run it in Linux
http://www.3ddownloads.com/index.php3?directory=/linuxgames/loki/patches/ut/

As where CrossOver installs the stuff...check under ~/crossover


And for games, consider WineX (http://transgaming.com) that is designed to run OpenGL and DirectX 'applications'

I unistalled UT from crossover and when to the link you provided (Thanks!!!) Got UT installed but then came up with this error.

Yes, wrong file :D

You want ut-install-436.run

Inportant question...do you have the Game of the Year edition (GOTY)? This makes a big difference on which installer to use (Not addressed at the 3DDownloads site)

www.lokigames.com did the port for UT, you can find the info under their Support section and links to the installers.

and besides getting the native linux installer (ie. not wine), you also need to be root to be able to write to anywhere in /usr, like /usr/local/games/

:) have fun playing UT, it runs great in linux

Using crossover for games isn't particularly new, I've seen reports on the transgaming site that Steam will work through crossover.
