Ubuntu 64-Bit playing L4D Via Wine
Gaming, Linux Applications, Open Source Applications, PC Gaming, Ubuntu Desktop August 3rd, 2009
I took some screen captures while playing Left 4 Dead. I am running it via Win 1.1.25.
For more information about Wine visit their site.
I was getting fairly decent frame rates, around 22-35 depending. That was also while running the gtk-recordmydesktop screen capture application. For some reason the audio was stripped out. There is a new version of wine out, I plan to upgrade, tweak it some more and give that a try. I did have the shading turned way down just to increase FPS performance.
Video was recorded in OGV, and edited in Kdenlive
For those curious this machine is running:
AMD Phenom II Quad Core 2.2
8 GB Memory
Nvidia BFG GTX260
500 GB WD HDD
I will have more to come after trying out Wine. 1.1.26.

I greatly apologize that the audio .mp3 file is not available for this cast. We record the audio as a separate stream, and the HDDD failed so we only have the video portion available this time.
