    Anyone know if this will ever work under Wine/Cedega? Or have MS locked down .NET completely?

    Don't know the game but are u sure it uses .NET ?

    Honestly, maybe i'm out of touch but i couldn't see any 3D intensive game being developed on top of .NET anymore then on top of the JRE.

    The vast majority of 3D games are written in C++/C. Maybe you mean DirectX not .NET ?

    In which case Cedega should support it if they bother.

    p.s > Check out mono-project.com

    Its the loader that's written in .net
    The main game is a native application afaik.

    As Rev said - it's the loader. And you can't start the game without the loader afaik.

    There is some .net support in the latest wine. Best thing to do is check out the winehq site. They list applications that they support.
