Hiji,
I installed 20050628 a couple of nights ago and as usual, Half-Life does
not play well. I had planned to take it off this weekend and put
20031016 back on, but just for the heck of it, I tried Unreal. It works
much better than it ever has with previous wine versions. The graphics
are clean, the movement is smooth and the sound FX are in sync! I guess
I need to run two wine versions and CXOffice now! Not.
