Just a small post to inform you that Crysis 2 MP demo is working with wine 1.3.14.
You can easily install it using PlayOnLinux (Standalone setup and Steam version) or manually install it with vcrun2008 and DirectX Runtime (June 2010) dependancies (only tested standalone).

Crysis 2 Demo Working
Why asking support when it work perfect with PlayOnLinux and whithout need of this winetricks sh*t.
What "normal" (non geek) people want is user-friendly softwares, that's why I fully support PlayOnLinux and recommand it to any Linux user I know.
If people want dirty "old-school" way so be it, then can use wine+winetrick (and don't tell vanilla wine, POL use vanilla wine too, only very few games need wine patches to work as expected), if they want easy and usefull way, they use PlayOnLinux.
It's only a matter of choice. When a bug come and it's identified as "wine side" bug, POL team invite users to report them here...and each time users get pushed away "because they not use only wine"...Very funny from my point of view...
Well, it was discusted millions of time so no need to do it again. Users are free to use what they want, including PlayOnLinux/winetricks/bordeau/ect..., that's the beauty of the "free software" world
The only usefull info here is : Crysis 2 demo work pretty fine with current wine so we can expect full game working good too so enjoy

Yes, we communicate with each other.
Now, why winetricks? Because if you ever read the complete End User
Agreement for ANY Microsoft software, most of what is needed to make
most programs function cannot be re-distributed with Wine and, if we
could, it would make the Wine package HUGE. This would make it just
about impossible to distribute. That is why we have winetricks.
You are always free to use POL, but if you encounter problems, you will
have to go to POL for assistance. And the developers for POL/POM have
agreed this is best for both projects (there was a lengthy thread on the
Wine Development list regarding this.) This is also true for any of the
other third party Wine products such as Cedega and WineBottler (a Mac
product.)
Oh, and POL does 'automatically' what winetricks does manually. They
retrieve appropriate packages from Microsoft and elsewhere and install
them on your system. Winetricks Alpha is trying to do the automatic
downloads as well and will be supported by the developers for winetricks.

Turn that statement around. Why need POL? Winetricks is just as easy to use if you need specific packages, and you get the benefit of getting support directly by Wine developers here. Winetricks works just as well graphically, by the way. Just run the script itself, without any arguments. Still think it's old school and not user friendly?winefan62 wrote:Why asking support when it work perfect with PlayOnLinux and whithout need of this winetricks sh*t.
