SoF MP Test Under WineX -- 3:10 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Following the news on Linux Games, I tried to run the Soldier of Fortune II multiplayer test under Transgaming's WineX in Linux. Everything worked just about as well as Jedi Knight II did, with similar slowdowns on occasion. I would imagine lowering the texture detail a notch from maximum or getting a bit more memory would fix it, just like it did with JKII.

What I'd really like to do is get Diablo II working, but that one doesn't want to agree with me for some reason.

UPDATE! Sure enough, changing the texture detail to "normal" from "high" took care of the occasional "stuttering" I was experiencing.
