Magmarock: Hey guys, so I’d like to know how crossover fairs against WINE. Not just in terms of compatibility but also in terms of installing.

One of the biggest issues I have with Linux software is the way it’s needs dependences from a repository. While there is no DRM but getting things to work offline can be tricky and from my experience requires a good understanding of terminal to make it all work. This includes getting dependences from the repository.

So which out of these two comes with most of what it needs without having to grab more stuff from the repo?
Depends on how a given distribution packages Wine in the first place :) For example, Arch packages Wine with most of the usual dependencies already met but you will still need some on your system in order for additional things to work in Wine.

Most of the dependencies for Wine you will need to download only once and once you have them you can use Wine offline as much as you want. I do recommend keeping the dependencies for Wine updated, however.

I have no experience with Crossover whatsoever.

LiefLayer: In any case I am not aware that there are currently 11 dx app running on linux (sure there are some experiments from crossover, but only 1-2 2D games).
Subterrain is a DX11 game and it runs perfectly when you set "glsl=disable" in winetricks, tested it myself with about 20 hours or more of play time :) I think the reason it runs is that it's a 2D game rather than a 3D game, though.

LiefLayer: like I said there are some new testing dx 11 test... but there is not full support right now (like dx 9 games).
Yes, I know :) The good news is that there is quite a lot of work being done with DX11 and I've had bugs that I submitted to WineHQ regarding DX11 already fixed :)

Of course, DX11 still requires a LOT of work but it's getting there :)
